The Fischbein 100 and 101 sewing heads are heavy duty, commercial sewing machines. These

heads sew bags of different materials, such as plastic, woven polypropylene, multi- wall paper

bags, composite bags, jute bags and so forth.

For proper operation, these heads are normally mounted on Fischbein double pedestal stands and

conveyor systems. These enable adjustment of the system for bag height and bag speed through

the system. A variety of infeeds and other special attachments (such as a rotary knife and a needle

cooler) are available to enhance and support the operation of the head.

1.2 WARNINGS

• The model 100 and 101 sewing heads are driven by strong motors, contain moving parts and have

pinch points and sharp edges. Therefore, a certain amount of technical knowledge and familiarity

with this type of equipment are required to operate and maintain the system. Proper eye, hand and

foot protection must be worn while working with the 100 and 101 sewing heads.

• The sewing head is not a stand-alone machine; therefore, care must be taken to provide the correct

drive system and proper protection from the drive components. You should follow the

recommendations in the manual about the drive system.

• Replacement of the Connecting Needle Drive Rod (pages 52-55; Item 20: part#31020) must be

performed by an authorised Fischbein representative, equipped with the special tools necessary.

• Read the manual carefully before making any changes to the sewing head.

• Always use genuine Fischbein spare parts (including Fischbein Lubricating Oil and

Fischbein Oil Filters). Our parts are specifically designed for Fischbein equipment to

provide optimum performance and safety. Use of non-Fischbein parts can void the product

warranty.

• Turn off and lock out air and power sources when performing maintenance.

• Let the machine do the work. Do not pull the bag or the materials through it.

• Consult Fischbein concerning your specific application and sewing need.

• The sewing head is not suitable to operate in an area where explosive materials are present

(explosive gas, vapors, powders or liquids).

• When used in a dusty environment, NEMA 12 (IP54) electrical equipment must be used.

• Frequently clean the machine to prevent accumulation of dust. Do this to prevent accumulation of

material that may cause a fire or malfunction.

• When cleaning the optical controls that may come with the sewing head, consult the accompanying

manuals from the optical manufacturer. These additional manuals can be found in the electrical

control box with the electrical schematics.

• Any sources of leaks of the machine’s lubricating oil must be repaired immediately to prevent

possible contamination of the product being packed and safety hazards around the system.

• When cleaning the sewing head, use only recommended Fischbein cleaning solvent 5-101.

• Do not use aggressive cleaning products as they may damage the rubber seals.

• When in doubt about operation, troubleshooting and maintenance of the sewing head, consult your

dealer or local Fischbein representative.

• Other specific warnings appear throughout this manual.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 UNPACKING PROCEDURES

Every Fischbein sewing head is packaged to protect the unit during normal shipping, storage and

handling. Each sewing head is packed in a corrugated box with cardboard padding surrounding it.

It is then taped shut. Before the unit is unpacked, inspect the box for any signs of damage incurred

during shipping. After the unit is unpacked, inspect the sewing head itself for damage. Report any

damages in writing to the shipper and to your authorized Fischbein representative. Be sure to

locate your sewing head’s serial number and model number and record these numbers for future

reference. Reading from left to right, the first six numbers that are stamped on the housing

represent the serial number. The next three numbers represent the model number. The model

number and serial number are also printed on the plate attached to the side of the housing.

The sewing head is very heavy and can be awkward to handle alone. For safety of the installers

and the sewing head, a dolly platform should be used to transport the sewing head.

2.2 DRIVE MOTOR RECOMMENDATIONS

A 1 HP or 746 W motor is recommended.

WARNING: MAXIMUM RPM FOR THE SEWING HEAD IS

1800 RPM AND MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED.

2.3 MOUNTING THE SEWING HEAD

Due to the size and weight of the sewing head, a cart should be used to transport it. It is best to have a

couple of installers handling the sewing head. Be sure to hold it by the main housing.

The sewing head is attached to the overarm assembly by a mounting plate, which mounts to the back

of the housing with three hex head bolts (Illustration 2). It is extremely important that these bolts be

securely tightened to the sewing head.

Refer to Illustrations 1 and 2. The mounting plate attaches to the overarm assembly with two

hinges. The hinges allow for easy access to various areas of the sewing head as well as the cooling

fan (optional). When the sewing head is rotated into the closed position, the outer swinging edge of

the mounting plate will come to rest on two jack bolts. The jack bolts are used to provide the needed

support during use and enable the latch pin to firmly hold the plate. The mounting plate is locked into

the closed position with a latch pin, which is pushed in and rotated to secure the mounting plate.

(Illustration 3) The locking rod passes through a hole in the sewing frame and then through one in

the mounting plate, when in the closed position.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL

REV. H 2005 / 11

If the jack bolts are not properly adjusted, the sewing head can vibrate possibly causing damage or

other parts to come loose. The jack bolts must be raised or lowered so that they come into firm

contact with the mounting plate. Both bolts come with a lock nut to keep them in position.

The jack bolts are pre-set at the factory for the mounting plate that accompanies the sewing system.

The jack bolts will only have to be adjusted if they become loose or if replacing the plate. To adjust

the jacks, loosen the lock nuts and turn the jack bolts clockwise for about five turns. Rotate the plate

into the closed position until it comes into contact with the jacks and then use the latch pin to secure

the plate. The pin will probably rotate with ease and not actually tighten when turned. Gradually

keep trying the latch pin, while turning the lower jack in increments, couterclockwise. The ideal

setting for the lower jack is when the latch pin tightens firmly before it has rotated the full 90o.

(Illustration 3) Use the lower lock nut to hold it in position.

Gradually turn the top jack counterclockwise until it comes into contact with the plate, when it is in

the closed position, but not locked with the pin. Unscrew the top jack one additional rotation. Lock

the top jack into position using the lock nut. When the plate is in the closed position and secured into

place, the latch pin will tighten completely before rotating the entire 90oand press firmly on the jack

bolts.
