Abstract
A sewing machine stopping control system brings a sewing machine from a high-speed operation to a stop without varying modes and with high stopping accuracy, for allowing the sewing machine to operate highly efficiently. According to the stopping control system, a motor is decelerated in response to a release of a foot pedal. At a time when a predetermined rotational speed or lower is detected, the deceleration operation is disabled regardless of a decelerating command BKON outputted from a speed command comparing circuit. Thereafter, when a predetermined needle position is detected, the deceleration operation is resumed. When a predetermined low speed is detected during the deceleration, the deceleration operation is again disabled. Thereafter, when a predetermined needle position is detected, the deceleration operation is again resumed so that the motor is completely stopped.
