Lockstitch, Automatic Welting Machine
APW-895

IIGM-Juki Union Special Machine time is reduced to provide increased productivity
High-speed machine head with a maximum speed of 3000rpm
Direct drive method with excellent responsiveness
Increased traveling speed travel (jump and forward-travel) of the clamp foot

The machine supports the sewing of parallel welts (with flaps) on suits, jackets and pants.
Double- / single-welt sewing can be changed over by the simple touch of a key on the operation panel.
Increased adjustable range of sewing lengths (min. 18mm to max. 220mm)

IIGM-Juki Union Special The machine promises consistent seam quality with its enhanced responsiveness to materials
The welting patch folding mechanism compensates for any changes in material thickness with JUKI's unique damper mechanism. For material thickness ranging from 0.7mm to 2.0mm, troublesome replacement of the clamp foot sole rubber is not necessary.

Automatic changeover of the marking position
which indicates a garment body placement position The machine adopts a newly-developed system which electronically controls the position of irradiation. This enables the machine to respond to various sewing specifications through laser marking. For example, for cycle sewing or alternate stitching, the system supports the front reference/rear reference/dart (center) reference to automatically change over the position of irradiation.

Time required for setup changing is substantially shortened
The machine is equipped with a simple gauge changing mechanism which enables the changing and adjustment of the position of the hook driving shaft saddle from the top of the bed without tilting the machine head. The time required to change a needle gauge is less than a half of that required by conventional machines.
The position of the folding plate and needle does not change even when double-/single-welt sewing is changed over. This means that the folding plate does not need any adjustment.
The machine is provided as standard with a micro-adjusting function for adjusting the clamp foot position. This enables both accurate and quick adjustments of the welting width.

IIGM-Juki Union Special Increased sharpness of the center knife
An independently driven (speed can be changed) stepping motor is adopted for the center knife. The center knife therefore remains unaffected by the sewing speed and cuts more sharply and cleanly. In addition, the knife shape is improved to prevent bending and demonstrates increased sharpness when an elastic material is being sewn.

The corner knife is easily adjustable
The corner knife, which can be drawn out in the entire knife unit is adopted. The knife is easily adjusted and can also be changed with ease. The slim corner knife cover helps reduce material thrusting, thereby achieving material cutting with accuracy.

Highly-visible and easy-to-use large color LCD touch-panel (IP310)
The graphic display and touch panel on the large color LCD help dramatically increase ease of use. Basic operations are carried out with the graphic screen and pictogram buttons. Error messages are given with characters.

Newly developed stacker which is able to handle small articles
Two kinds of stackers are available; i.e., clamp bar stacker (SP-46) and roller stacker (SP-47). With the stacker, the machine is able to handle materials with a shortest distance of 250 mm from its edge to the pocket. A stacking sensor is also provided as standard to prevent stacking errors.

IIGM-Juki Union Special Power consumption is substantially reduced
The reduced energy consumption of the APW-895 ensures superior power-conservation and cost effectiveness. The adoption of a direct-drive system (compact AC servomotor) with superb energy-transfer properties cuts the average power consumption by 60% compared with the forerunner of the APW-895. The power consumption during standby is reduced by as much as 90 %.
