Our sewing head design is the lightest, smoothest, most reliable longarm sewing machine available on the market.
ABM Pro-Frame commercial quality quilting frame is made from the finest lightweight rigid aircraft grade aluminum, anodized to provide years of service with no maintenance
The unique patented spring loaded hopping foot is easy to make height adjustments to overcome problems of quilting varying thicknesses and for ease of applying appliques.
The Innova's sealed ball bearing design eliminates the need for greasing and oiling the main drive system, and it provides for years of maintenance free operation.
ABM INNOVA long arm machines glide effortlessly on our Pro-Glider composite non-marking wheels. The machine moves with the slightest touch and reduces operator fatigue.
The ABM INNOVA longarm quilting machines are so well balanced that you will be amazed at just how quiet and smooth they are while running.
It comes standard with a style "M" large capacity hook for fewer bobbin changes and longer runs.
The machine is shipped complete with operation manual, sewing light, Laser stylus, stylus, front and rear handle bars, front and rear controls, needle up and needle down switches.
The ABM INNOVA longarm quilting machines are shipped with our standard stitch regulator. However, customers can order a machine without stitch regulation if desired. The stitch regulator, regulates the machine speed based on operator movement to control the stitches per inch, in and out of corners as well as in turns and tight radius's. It is fully programmable through the PLC operator interface. The number of stitches per inch are adjustable from 5-22. When in regulated mode, the machine will automatically accelerate and decelerate based on the quilting operator's movements.
The Pro Touch stitch regulation is optional. This option adds an LCD touch screen operator interface to the front of the machine, along with improved stitch regulation control. When pro touch is added to your standard Innova, stitch regulations adjustments are made more easily and fine tuning your machine becomes a breeze. Pro touch adds a yardage counter, bobbin low alert, and I/O maintenance diagnostics.
The Lightning stitch regulation system is optional. This option is the finest stitch regulation control available in the industry and is ABM's exclusive technology. When Lightning stitch is added the standard 4 pole bruch type motor is replaced with a Digital servo motor and control system. This system has 6x greater acceleration and deceleration then our standard stitch regulation. Which allows the Innova to create the finest stitches in the Industry. Never again will you have a large stitch in a corner, point or feather and running in cruise mode is no longer required.
INNOVA longarm's ship with a stand alone bobbin winder that has an automatic shutoff. Much better than on-board bobbin winders which lose tension control and provide poorly wound bobbins.
The Innova pro-frame has a unique front roller design. It is placed below the surface leaving the quilter no obstructions or interference. Now more then ever it is easy to use rulers for guiding with our cross hatch ruler sysyetm.
The unique patented rotating sewhead allows the operator to twist the head out of the way for easy removal and maintenance. It is an excellent tool for straightening out the fiber to remove bumps. The rotating sewhead is a necessity for attachments such as our exclusive couching system, "Ecording Multitech".
