Machine-specific functions

ES Schiffli supports fine tension and speed changes, as well as special devices like Cord and Sequin for specific machines. These functions can be output to disk or tape, and are preserved when read into EmbroideryStudio. Machine-specific functions directly supported by ES Schiffli include:

Fadenleiter Plus/Minus
Thread Brake Plus/Minus
Boring Tension Start/End
Pause
RPM Plus/Minus
Stuepfel In/Out
Cord In/Out
Festoon In/Out

Note: For details of the machine types to which each function relates, see the table Machine-specific functions (Supplement).

Fadenleiter functions

	Use Schiffli > Fadenleiter Plus to instruct the machine to increase the Fadenleiter stroke one increment.
	Use Schiffli > Fadenleiter Minus to instruct the machine to decrease the Fadenleiter stroke one increment.

Fadenleiter Plus/Minus functions instruct the machine to increase or decrease the Fadenleiter stroke one increment. This means increasing or decreasing thread feed where sections become wider or narrower.

Thread Brake functions

	Use Schiffli > Thread Brake Plus to insert a command to increase the application of the thread brake.
	Use Schiffli > Thread Brake Minus to insert a command to decrease the application of the thread brake.

Thread Brake Plus/Minus functions instruct the machine when to increase or decrease tension one increment by Thread Brake.

Boring Tension functions

Start /End Boring Tension functions instruct servo thread machines to feed less thread for stitching in boring holes. For Hiraoka TNS Ein, it overrides/restores Stepp/Blatt tension.

Pause function

The Pause function is usually a conditional Stop on Empty. It is interpreted by the machine according to the machine operator preferences.

RPM functions

	Use Schiffli > RPM Plus to insert a command to increase the turning speed of the machine.
	Use Schiffli > RPM Minus to insert a command to decrease the turning speed of the machine.

RPM Plus/Minus functions instruct the machine to increase or decrease machine speed in increments from current or normal.

Stuepfel functions

Stuepfel In/Out functions instruct the machine when to switch to the Stuepfel device from the borer. Borer In engages both the borer and the Stuepfel.

Cord functions

Cord In/Out functions tell the machine to engage or disengage the cord device.

Festoon functions

Festoon In/Out functions instruct the machine to engage or disengage the festoon device.

Thread Roller functions

Thread Roller Plus/Minus functions instruct the machine when to increase or decrease tension one increment by Thread Roller Feed (2S-55 RCC). Currently this function is not output by ES Schiffli.

Indirectly supported functions

ES Schiffli indirectly supports Saurer Clutch In/Out (when used with Borers). An indirectly supported function means that, although you cannot select the function in EmbroideryStudio, the software automatically inserts it as part of a logical function.
