Technical Specs
Building on INNOVA’s ability to sew 3000 stitches per minute, the maximum travel speed is 15 inches per second with an average travel speed of 8 inches per second. The AutoPilot® Mach 3 operates under true servo control, the same as found on our large format industrial quilting machines. Our robotics system controls the speed of the sew head and carriage. Through a complex mathematical program, AutoPilot® looks ahead at the pattern path being sewn, calculates its position, and maximizes its speed to maintain accurate stitches per inch and pattern quality.
Hi-flex cables
Extends life of wiring for objects in motion over ordinary copper cables.
Power Assist
The motors sense quilter feedback and assist in machine movement to bring great ease to quilting, reduce strain, and help individuals with ailments.
Channel Lock
Guarantee straight line stitching by locking the movement on either the x-axis or y-axis.
Tension Check compatible
Easily view stitching beneath the quilt by plugging a USB camera into the PC and mounting it to the sew head below the quilt.
Thread Break Recovery
An excellent safeguard in the event the bobbin thread runs out, the sew head can be moved to the exact location and stitching can resume from that point.
