In the latter case, the machine had a problem cutting, which in turn caused the catcher error.
This can either be due to a catcher problem, or, if the thread is still not cut after a cut cycle, the catcher tried to grab the uncut thread, which is strong enough to prevent the catcher from retracting. On multi-head machines, the moving knives are linked by a common shaft, so if the knife on a particular head position is not at the home position, check knives on other heads on the machine to verify that the problem is with the common shaft/cam and not an individual knife out of position.Į-193 Catcher – this is caused by the catcher (upper thread hook) failing to fully retract upwards.
