FEACTURES & FUNCTIONS
- ACCURATE FRAME DRIVE & POWERFUL MAIN-SHAFT DRIVE MOTOR.
A special stepping motor featuring almost permanent life and extremely high accuracy is used for assuring stable frame driving.
- SPEED CHANGE
Simple knoh control or (push a numeral key) of infinitely variable speed (within range), and two speeds controlled by tape data (computer) to reduce thread breakage.
- FRAME BACK
If embroidery is damaged because of a thread break or bobbin runout, the frame can be moved backward to the starting point (500 stitches) if operating from tape. Once restarted the machine sews independently on heads where damage occurred before automatically restarting all heads.
- FRAME FORWARD
Frame can be manually stepped forward without stitching
- LON G LASTING STORAGE OF TAPE DATA
If the machine is stopped in the middle of a design and left idle for a long time, the tape data remains stored in memory or (buffer). When restarted the machine will begin to sew at the exact spot where it was stopped
- DESIGN COODINATE CHANGE SYSTEM
16 [8] symmetrical desing positions are possible in 45 degree [90 degree] increments at the push of a button.
- PATENTED AUTOMATIC NEEDLE BAR SELECTOR (FOR EASY NEEDLE/ COLOR SEQUENCING)
Needle bars can be selected for any color change sequence. Color change is possible up ti 99 times.
- JUMP STITCH DEVICE
- AUTOMATIC REPEAT
Embroidery of a design having the same color pattern can be automatically repeated up to 81 [9] times when operating from memory. [ 9 times when operating from tape]
TMEF
With the addition of the TMEF-S series (streamlined with useful functions for easier operation) the TMEF series is now complete. It is the top model series in the embroidery industry today.
The 900 series is the world’s first is the world’s first and only 9 needle machine.
The 300 series (3-needle), 400 series (4-needle), and the 600 series (6-needle) are available in many configurations with 6 to 24 heads and from standard to large embroidery design fields.

Main Feactures and Functions for the H-series
- Accurate Frame Drive
For stable frame driving,special stepping (pulse) motors are used. These motors feature an almost permanent life and pin-point accuracy.
- Automatic Needle Bar Selector (Pantented)
Colors (needle bars) can be selected up to 99 times in any desired sequence.
- Threas Tension Releasing Device (Patented)
During sewing. Tension is automatically released an all unused threads.
- Independent Take-up Lever Drive System
The take-up lever only for the needle bar being used, operates while the other levers are at rest: this prevents the threasd from being entangled. This system also allows the threads to run smoothy for constant ATH trimming.
- Both Binary and Ternary Tape formalts can be used
- Speed Change
Speeds can be automatically changed between High and Low ranges by tape code data: key operations also allow you to adjust the speeds as required.
- Desing Coordinate
A desing can be mirrored both horizontally and vertivally and also rotated in 90-degree increments: 8-diferrent positions can be createcd
- Memory System
Up to 99 desings can be memorized in this system with the remaining capacity displayed in the stitches. (A standard 128.000- stitch memory card is included.)
- Automatic Repeat
A desing can be repeatedly stitche-d up to 9 times during memory operation.
- Frame back function
When a design is damaged by thread Breakage, the frame can be stitched back for repairs up to 500 stitches during memory and tape operation. Also, as soon as the single-head operation to restitch the damaged part is completed, the other heads resart sewing.
- Frame Forward
The frame can be stepped forward without stitching up to the end of the design.
- Scaling Up/Down Function
A design can be scaled up or down in 1-% increments from 50% up to 200%.
- Return Origin
Simple key operations return the frame to the design starting point.
- Offset Function
In addition to the design starting point, a secondary starting point can be set for automatic operation: this function facilitates frame changing, thread trimming, etc.
- Display Function
Various messages are digitally displayed: R.P.M., available memory, and stitch count, stop factors emergency stop codes, etc.
- Automatic Thread Trimming Device (ATH)
This device has the function of trimming both upper and under threads automatically at the same time by pre-punched tape code when embroidery is completed, color change is performed, or stitching is jumped from one design to another.
