5.4.4 Needle setting (color)
This function is to enable automatic change of needle bars when the thread color change code appears. It is also
able to change the colors of the embroidery design displayed on the screen.
<Fig. 5.4.4-1> and <Fig. 5.4.0-1> appears when the needle bar setting button is pressed to set the needle bars. The
needle bar setting can be divided into three steps including needle bar selection, change, and color change.
■To understand the above, let’s look at the head section of the SWF multi-head embroidery machine as
in <Fig. 5.4.4-2>.
As in <Fig. 5.4.4-2>, the multi-head embroidery machine has needle bars for each of which unique number is
designated. Each number is matched one or one to the standard needle bar on the “Needle Bar Number Change
Menu” as in <Fig. 5.4.4-1>. If the standard needle bar and the changed needle bar are same, the needle bar with a
unique number on the head section as in <Fig. 5.4.4-2> will operate. The unique numbers can be virtually changed
by pressing the change button. Here is an example for clearer understanding.
•Select: This is the menu where the order of changing needle bars is set when the color change code appears
during embroidery. Up to 300 color change codes can be applied.
•Change: This enables the user to change the 1 or 1 match between the needle bar table and the needle bar
at the his/her discretion.
•Color change: This function is to change the colors of each needle bar.
