                   Further search for ease 
                    of operation has added cylinderbed type machine for sewing 
                    cylindrical goods to the EX Series. 
                     
                    Small cylinderbed for small cylindrical goods 
                    The circumference of the cylinderbed is only 148mm. The new 
                    type of cylinderbed overedgers includes all the features of 
                    the celebrated EX Series. Sews small cylindrical goods smoothly 
                    such as hemming sleeves on T-shirts or children's wear. In 
                    addition, there is no obstacle around the cylinderbed, provideing 
                    a 10mm space to the right of the needle drop. This ensures 
                    easy installation of various kinds of equipment, thus producing 
                    quality products. 
                     
                     
                    The feautures of the variable top feed machines have been 
                    also added.  
                    The EXT5100 Series that adopts the independently driven top 
                    feed mechanism allows the machines to obtain latger differential 
                    feed ratio than the conventional EX/EXT Series, dramatically 
                    increasing the feeding efficiency. This feature lengthens 
                    the effective distance of the top feed dog, thus feeding the 
                    fabric accurately and straightly to produce a beautifully 
                    finished hem.

                        The sensor detects the cross seam sections to automatically 
                        slide the hemming guide and keep the fabric from misaligning.

                   Fabric tensioner 
                  Stretches the rib knit fabric according to the diameter of the 
                  body, so that you can attach rib knit fabrics uniformly to neck 
                  openings, bottoms, cuffs of training wear, sports wear, etc.
