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.

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.

Electric Lift System

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

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