Unique Floating Needle Technology
Floating needle is an unique technology on the market patented by AMF Reece. Double pointed needle with an eye in the middle is passed through the fabric between two needle bars to perform "true" hand stitching. Just as a seamstress would, a length of thread is passed through the material duplicating the hand stitch with flawless consistency and incomparable speed.
High Resolution Full-Color Touch Screen Display
5,7” LCD high resolution full-color touch screen display incorporates new sewing functions. The use of easily understood symbols makes the machine very easy to operate with minimum requirements for training time. User friendly icons are used for setting parameters such as button type, sewing style, number of stitches and wraps, neck height, stitch depth etc. Currently sewn button parameters are displayed on the main screen while sewing. Please refer to the chart below for more details.

Independent Motors
The combinations of 7 independent motors enable the machine to sew a wide range of buttons and styles along with an incomparable sewing quality. The main drive is controlled by the servo motor while the X-Y movements for the button stitching and wrapping are driven by step motors. The step motors are also used for button feeding; neck height and stitch depth adjustments.
Eletronically Controlled Thread Tension
The step motor controlling the thread tension ensures smooth distribution of pre-set tensions. The thread tension can be separately programmed for four different sewing phases such as stitching the button, show stitch, neck wrapping, and final "locking" stitch. This plays an important role especially when sewing on difficult and thin materials to eliminate puckering and other sewing issues.
Individual thread tension parameters are saved in the machine memory with each button program.
Sewing Speed & Productivity
The sewing speed can be adjusted from 100 to 200 rpm from the touch screen display. To achieve the top sewing quality, a different speed can be separately programmed for button stitching, button wrapping and final “locking” stitch. A lower speed of a final stitch can be required for example when sewing with thinner threads.
The daily productivity is around 500 jackets (3 buttons/ 4-hole sew-through buttons) per 8-hour shift.
Cycle Sewing
The machine offers two different cycle modes – standard and prompt.
The standard cycle mode can accommodate up to 20 different button styles within one program. The prompt cycle mode is designed only for two different button styles, for example when sewing one button with blind stitch and two with show stitch on jacket. In the prompt cycle mode the required button style is activated by the pedal. The operator can pre-set 20 standard and 20 prompt cycle mode programs.
Quick Change between Button Styles
The EBS Mark II machine is supplied with 5 exchangeable button holders that cover all button applications. Thanks to flexible pins that adjust automatically, one holder can accommodate different button sizes. Unlike other machines in the market, the holder does not need to be changed for different button sizes. Please refer to the conversion kit list in the Standard accessories for more details.
No Cross-over Thread Needed
Machine actually duplicates the continuous thread of a tailor’s hand stitching therefore when sewing 4-hole sew-through buttons the cross-over thread is not needed. Other machines on the market either require the cross-over stitch or perform this operation in 2 sequences. Thanks to the floating needle technology the EBS Mark II machine attaches the button in one continuous operation.
Recommended Threads
Compared to former model, which saw only with special waxed threads, the new machine can handle standard polyester cone thread size 30-70 (AMF Reece recommends threads Gütermann Mara), which helps to eliminate color matching issues and reduces thread costs. The Rice waxed threads can be used as well in the sizes 3, 4, 5.
LED Sewing and Marking Lights
Machine is equipped with sewing and marking LED lights fitted as standard. The sewing light is embedded in the sewing head and illuminates the sewing area much better than commonly used work lights. The red LED marking light ensures easy placement of the garment and marks the exact button position.
