Sewing examples
Greasing timing is notified automatically
The running time of the machine is stored, so that a
notification for greasing, which is indispensable for dry
head sewing machines, is automatically displayed on the
panel. (Please use Brother’s special grease of good
durability.)
Zigzag width and feed
amount can be changed
for start backtack and
end backtack. Needle stop position at
right or left of zigzag
sewing can be set. With blind stitches, the
number of stitches sewn
in a straight line can be
set as desired. With T-stitches, the width
and the number of stitches
sewn in a straight line can
be set as desired. (The
sewing speed for T-stitch is
to be 1,000 rpm or below.)
Easy maintenance
Brother has established our original “Brother Green Label” for
products in conformity with ISO 14021 and JIS Q14021. The
Z-8550A and Z-8560A are environment-conscious sewing
machines, certified according to the Brother Green Label’s
standards such as “Energy-saving capability: a reduction of
35% or above compared with the previous models”, “A
reduction of lubrication oil consumption of 30% or above by
lubrication-free technology” and “Use of lead-free solder in all
PC boards”.
Environment-conscious
Adoption of the CF (CompactFlash) card as
storage media
Data passing among sewing machines are easily made.
Sewing patterns created using PC (with sewing data
programming software PS-300B) can be added by simple
operation at the operation panel. Version upgrade of
sewing machine control software can also be done with a
CF card.
Reflection pattern function can
produce beautiful scallop stitches
at corners. Numbers of stitches of two zigzag
stitches can be set with the name
label key. Scallop stitches can be started
from the top of a scallop.
