The machine offers an integrated hardware system and a micro controller with 64 kb memory. The motor drives have an IC based driving system to give more accuracy.

Both the software and hardware for this machine have been developed in-house which gives the company the advantage of upgrading the same as and when needed as per market requirements.

As for the DUKE D-26 Feed-Off-the-Arm machine, the company has automated the basic machine to get higher efficiency and power saving. The direct servo motor, besides improving power efficiency, reduces the vibration level even at the maximum speed of 5500 spm. Other features include a pneumatic auto pressure foot lifter allowing easy operation of the machine, an automatic joint thickness sensor to slow down the machine as per pre-programmed speed, and a programmable needle cooler.

A suction censor has also been added which controls the chain cutter and suction device ensuring that the same do not work if there is no contact with the garment. This results in the saving of air and also improves the life span of the chain cutter and the motor.

Both the machines got an excellent response from the manufacturers at the fair and a number of orders have already been placed for them.
