ZE-856A
Electronic zigzag stitcher that opens up new sewing possibilities with an abundance of sewing patterns! Abundant variations possible without needing cams Abundant pattern variations This is a zigzag lock stitcher with 14 different basic patterns of eight different types built in. Furthermore, you can add up to 99 different types of custom-made patterns. There is no need to prepare a different cam for each sewing pattern, so creating a more economical machine.

Custom patterns add even more value The customer can create and add their own pattern designs to the machine’s memory. Custom patterns can be used for a wide variety of decorative sewing for ladies wear, knitted garments, neckerchiefs, towel handkerchiefs, foundations and swimsuits. (Up to a maximum of 99 patterns with a total of 10,000 stitches, at 500 stitches or less per pattern. Creating new patterns requires the BAS-PC/300 programming software.)

Seams with a new level of attractiveness and accuracy No needle deflection even at high speeds The high-speed damper mechanism (patent pending) absorbs the damping characteristics which can occur during high-speed drive control. As a result, there is no widening of the zigzag width during high-speed sewing. And almost no needle deflection when the needle is piercing the material, so preventing puckering.
Soft sewing with high quality The needle and rotary hook timing has been changed. The shape of the rotary hook and thread take-up have also been changed, and the thread path has been improved. These improvements allow stable soft sewing finishes to be obtained even at low thread tensions.
Needle path
Mechanical zigzag stitcher
Electronic zigzag stitcher No needle deflection because the needle moves perpendicular to the material.
High-durability titaniumcoated rotary hook The inner rotary hook has a titanium coating that boosts the rotary hook's heat resistance, so that less oil needs to be supplied for lubrication. This eliminates problems with oil staining the thread and contaminating the material.
Trouble-free hook shaft offset mechanism
Simple condense stitch setting
This mechanism prevents skipped stitches and thread breakages which can occur particularly at the right zigzag position. It makes rotary hook timing adjustment easier and improves ease of maintenance. It also prevents damage to the rotary hook tip from the needle guard.
An adjustment dial for condense stitches is provided. This makes it much easier to set condense stitches in order to produce finer seams (feed amount) during backtacking.
Stable small-amount lubrication for rotary hook A unique oil valve method (patent pending) has been adopted in the rotary hook lubrication mechanism.
Easy-to-use multifunctional panel Settings can be easily changed and restored at the panel •All settings including changing the pattern or zigzag width and moving the pattern to the left or right can be made at the control panel. •Zigzag width settings and pattern movement amounts can be set in steps of 0.1 mm, making fine adjustments possible. •Because settings such as zigzag width are made numerically, it is much easier to restore settings to what they were previously than for lever adjustment-type sewing machines. •The desired sewing speed can also be entered at the panel. The sewing speed can be changed easily to the ideal speed to accommodate changes in sewing processes, sewing materials and threads.
855A-00 and 8570-00
855A-A0, 856A, 8570-A0 and 8580
Lower thread amount and pattern can also be checked at the panel
Zigzag widths can be saved separately for each pattern
The lower thread counter on the panel shows the amount of thread remaining at all times. The selected pattern is also displayed on the panel so that it can be checked at a glance.
The zigzag width changes automatically when the pattern is changed, so that the zigzag width does not need to be set each time.
Combining both ease of use and high cost performance Needle up and needle down stopping
Gentle pedal operating feel
AC servo motors are provided as standard equipment. The needle position function lets you change the material direction easily when the needle is at the down stop position, and replace the material smoothly when the needle is at the up stop position. Furthermore, the sewing speed can be changed easily to the ideal speed to accommodate changes in sewing processes, sewing materials and threads.
The pedal operating feel is much better compared to when a clutch motor is used, making overall operation much more comfortable. Sewing can be carried out with light touches of the pedal even when sewing a small number of stitches.
Efficient energy saving The adoption of AC servo motors provide an energy saving of approximately 40% compared to clutch motors. In addition, there are no clutch parts to become worn, so a major maintenance requirement has been eliminated.
Smooth starting and rhythmical sewing The needle zigzag movement is controlled by a pulse motor, which reduces the load placed on the machine motor.
No thread trimming errors (856A/8580) A grooved cam method has been used to reduce thread trimming errors. In addition the knife mechanism have been combined into a single unit to greatly simplify maintenance.
No thread pulling out at the sewing start (856A/8580) An upper thread feeding device supplies just the right length of upper thread required at the sewing start.
The base material can be trimmed at the same time as lace is being attached, thereby increasing working efficiency. Accurate high-speed trimming (8570/8580) The edge knife is driven by its own motor, so that the knife always operates at high speed to cut the material accurately even when sewing is being carried out at low speed such as at the sewing start and when sewing around curves.
Easy material setting (8570/8580) The knife always stops in the raised position because it is driven by own motor. So that the material can be removed and inserted smoothly.
Accurate cutting width (8570/8580) The knife is located directly to the side of the needle, so that a stable trimming width is obtained even when sewing around curves.
Easy knife height adjustment (8570/8580) The height of the knife can be changed easily to suit the material using the lever at the front of the machine. When the height is set to 0, the knife drive turns off automatically. Because the working surface is flat, the sewing machine can be used as a normal electronic zigzag lock stitcher at any time.
The width of the trimming margin can be set easily using the panel. (8570/8580) The zigzag base line position key on the panel can be used to change the trimming margin in steps of 0.1 mm.
Sewing example You can set patterns which cannot be sewn using mechanical zigzag lock stitchers. This allows you to use the type of sewing which best suits the process and design of the item being sewn. You can change the widths of the backtacking zigzag stitches. (855A-A0, 856A, 8570-A0, 8580) Example
The needle can be set to stop at either the left or right side when the sewing machine is stopped.
The number of blind stitches can be set as desired. Example
Example
Start back tack
5 stitches 10 stitches
Zigzag left stop
End back tack
A reflection function lets you sew attractive scalloping at corner sections. If reflection is applied when the material is turned
Example If reflection is not used Sewing direction

Options Reflection pattern switch set In addition to scallop patterns, 2-step zigzag, 3step zigzag (with no zigzag stop position set) blind stitch and custom made patterns can also be sewn as reflection patterns. In addition, correction sewing can also be carried out using the actuator while the above reflection patterns are being sewn.
Thread tension assy (disc type)/ Tension release pin The difference in thread tightening depending on sewing speed when ladies wear and knitted garments are sewn is more reduced.
Thread guide, F / Felt Prevents upper thread flapping causing skipped stitches and thread breakage when sewing coarse materials.

Thread take-up/Rotary hook for medium materials (tape attachment, plain zigzag) This prevents thread tightening problems from occurring during processes such as attaching tape to medium materials. This is effective especially when continual sewing is performed with plain zigzag.
Presser bar (855A/856A) This is the separate type presser bar for using the presser foot for lock stitchers.
Gauge set for attaching pocket (855A/856A)
Rotary hook (Carbide-reinforced hook tip)
This is used for blind stitching in process of attaching a pocket onto a knit jacket.
This prevents the hook tip from becoming worn and thus increases rotary hook durability.
BAS-PC/300, BPS-3000 Programming software This software is used to create sewing patterns on a computer. It allows you to create patterns which are different from those which have been preset.
