White Van

An unidentified white van came to our house at 930 this a m and things happened.
Matt, Keith and newbie Jim made it happen today! They installed my AutoPilot; I learned, we laughed, we ate brownies and a quick but late lunch - near 4 p m.

How exciting! Of course the "A" Team did a fabulous job. Worked all day, did other things: installed my Pro-Tension, horizontal spool, and front laser. They also wondered why my old tension system never failed me b/c it was not only installed incorrectly but had an additional spacer that they had never seen. My rule has been not to fix it if it isn't broken hence I had no idea it was wrong.

Sew tonight I'm the happiest person in Gainesville FL. I pray the unmarked van continues to sprinkle its expertise as it safely speeds along the highways and byways!!

Bless this great team and ABM!!

INNOVA has the best service

Hello All,

This is defiantly a shout out to Innova-ABM and Michael. In the past 1 1/2 weeks Michael has guided me through two different issues all which were my fault. He had the patience to get me through timing my machine and did my bobbin set-up with such humor as well. I can’t say THANK YOU enough , it has been a very stressful time that was put to rest with his technical guidance and patience!

The machine is excellent as well as the service I recieve from my dealer- The Quilting Bee and ABM’s service department. I can say you will not be disappointed with an Innova Long Arm machine or the service they provide!

Thank you again

Software Compatibility

The M Series has been constructed with a sleek design in mind—all wiring is now internal. It also features 64-Bit software, which has more power to execute a greater number of tasks, such as initiating a new pattern. This means that your software will run faster and bring less headaches. The updated M Software has bigger buttons, altered layouts, and a horizontal orientation for enhanced user interaction.

M Series software is simple to launch as most of the hardware is already built into the machine. For quick installation, simply plug in the provided hardware and activate the software with a personal serial number provided after purchase.

AutoPilot Mach3

Stitch Regulation

INNOVA longarm quilting machines are shipped with our Lightning Stitch regulator. The stitch regulator regulates the machine speed based on operator movement to control the stitches per inch in and out of corners as well as in turns and tight radii. It is fully programmable through the PLC operator interface. The number of stitches per inch are adjustable from 2-22. When in regulated mode, the machine will automatically accelerate and decelerate based on the quilting operator's movements. Among the many functionalities included are cruise and basting mode.

Pro Frame

The commercial quality INNOVA Pro-Frame is designed to maximize efficiency and ease of use. The gas-assisted, top fabric roller lifting system provides easy access to straighten and inspect batting. Our unique fabric stationary quilt backing roller eliminates the need for raising and lowering as the quilt take up roller increases in diameter.

Pro-Frame Accessories:

Electric Channel Locks

These use electromagnets to stop and hold the machine in either the x-axis or y-axis, making it easier to stitch straight lines.

Locking Casters

These replace the machine leveler legs that come standard on the Pro-Frame, making it easy to move your INNOVA system around and lock it into position.

Pro Frame Specs:

10’ or 12’ length (custom sizes available)
Perforated extruded aluminum tubing
Adjustable height up to 13”
Machine leveling legs
2" diameter stainless steel rollers
Gas assisted lifting top fabric roller
Adjustable two bar take-up roller system
Adjustable stationary quilt backing roller maintains a perfectly level quilt bed
EZ Lock roller system provides infinite adjustment of fabric tension
Super glide carriage system for effortless movement
Manual channel locks
Heavy-duty, laminated wood tabletop that doubles as a cutting table
Includes leaders and 2 side clamps

Rotating Sew Head

The patented swivel sew head is exclusive to the INNOVA. This unique feature is included with all INNOVA quilting machines and makes adding innovative accessories, changing feet, removing broken needles, and completing preventative maintenance a breeze.

Technical Specs

Motor

All INNOVA machines are equipped with a 3000 stitch per minute one horse motor. This allows for faster more efficient quilting and better stitch regulation. The strong motor is capable of piercing multiple layer seam allowances without stalling. Coupled with the patented hopping foot, it easily accommodates the bulk found in the most difficult areas of your quilt. M Series motors have also been relocated to be in line with the lower drive shaft, stabilizing the center of gravity and improving machine smoothness.

Driveshaft

INNOVA has the largest driveshafts of any longarm quilting machine on the market today. They are supported by sealed ball bearings which eliminate the need for oiling or greasing the upper end of the machine, ensuring that your quilts stay clean.

Optional Equipment

Electric Lift System

With the push of a button quickly raise and lower your complete INNOVA system up to 11” in height.
Power Advance

Easily wind and unwind the take up roller by adding this industrial gear drive motor with driver.
