"the making of needles" Materials - ✔✔- Flat Needle Bar
|| || || || || || || || || ||
-round needle bar || || ||
- eye loop
|| ||
-drill gauge: tightens needle
|| || || ||
- souder
||
Making of needles process - ✔✔-clean and sterilize after making needles
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
-Tin the soldering iron
|| || || ||
-drop the needle into Jig, lightly tap to ensure all needles are even ( pointed side should be
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
down ) || ||
-drop a small amount of flux at the end of the needle groupings, tap with soldering iron.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Diameter of a needle - ✔✔Affects ink flow and puncture of the skin
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Tapers ||
- Long Taper : Good for Lining
|| || || || || || ||
- Short Taper : Good for color
|| || || || || ||
Coil Machine how does it work - ✔✔Uses magnets to power machine which moves the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
armature bar and needles towards the coil. || || || || || || ||
This pulls the needle into the skin, breaking the circuit, causing the needle to go back into
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the machine
||
, 2
Coil Machine : Electromagnet ON - coils are not charged, the armature bar is up, pulling
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the needle up - ✔✔Coil Machine : Electromagnet OFF- coils are charged, pulling the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
armature bar down, pulling the needle down || || || || || ||
Tuning - voltage - ✔✔-4 volts for shading
|| || || || || || ||
-5.5 volts for lining
|| || || ||
Rotary ||
7-8 for either beginner lining or shading, 9-10 for lining
|| || || || || || || || ||
Tuning- CPs/Hertz - ✔✔- Cycle per second
|| || || || || || ||
- 130 for lining
|| || || ||
-120 for shading
|| ||
How to adjust CPs/Hertz - ✔✔- Adjust by moving contact screw
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
- Increase : moving closer to the front spring, this also shortens the stroke.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
- Decrease: moving further from the front spring, this lengthens the stroke
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Tuning: Stroke - ✔✔-lining, shorter stoke 3mm
|| || || || || ||
-Shading, grey wash, med stoke 3.5mm || || || || ||
-packing color, longer stroke, 4mm || || || ||
Tuning: Duty - ✔✔Measures how long the needle is in the skin
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
Duty below 50 - ✔✔Machine is spending more time off than on during a cycle
