JUKI APW-896NS-12ZR2K Automatic Pocket Welting SA117/SA119/SA141 Industrial Sewing Machine

Juki APW-896NS-12ZR2K

Lockstitch, Automatic Pocket Welting Machine (For Slanted Pockets with Flaps)

The Juki APW-896NS-12ZR2K is a cutting-edge automatic pocket welting machine designed to handle a variety of pocket sewing applications with exceptional efficiency. Specifically tailored for slanted pockets with flaps, this machine sets the standard for productivity and adaptability in heavy-duty sewing operations.

Enhanced Productivity

With a high-speed machine head capable of up to 3,000 stitches per minute, the Juki APW-896NS-12ZR2K excels in reducing machine time. The rapid movement of the clamp foot, both in jump and forward actions, ensures quicker operation cycles, significantly boosting overall productivity.

Versatile Pocket Sewing

Designed to meet the demands of sewing straight pockets with flaps on suits, jackets, and pants, this machine simplifies the process of switching between double and single welt sewing with a simple touch on the operation panel. The adjustable range of sewing lengths has been expanded, accommodating from a minimum of 18mm to a maximum of 220mm.

Specialized Slanted Pocket Sewing

In addition to the capabilities of the APW-895N, the APW-896NS-12ZR2K offers support for sewing slanted pockets with slanted flaps. This is made possible by the world's first computer-controlled sidewise cutting position of the corner knives, allowing easy and precise adjustments directly from the operation panel.

Quick and Easy Setup

Equipped with a simplified gauge changing mechanism, this machine significantly reduces setup time. The position of the hook driving shaft saddle can be adjusted from the top of the bed without tilting the machine head. This innovation cuts the needle gauge change time to less than half compared to conventional machines. Furthermore, the folding plate and needle position remain constant when switching between double and single welt sewing, eliminating the need for adjustments.

User-Friendly LCD Touch Panel

The large color LCD touch panel (IP-420) enhances usability with its graphic display and intuitive touch controls. Basic operations are easily managed through a combination of pictogram buttons and graphical interface, with guidance available in multiple languages.

Advanced Data Management

The Juki APW-896NS-12ZR2K supports a variety of external media, including Compact Flash cards and USB devices, for seamless data input and output. The machine’s enhanced memory storage capabilities and USB connectivity ensure flexibility and ease of use across different media formats.

Superior Knife Sharpness and Adjustability

An independently driven stepping motor for the center knife ensures consistent and sharp cuts, unaffected by sewing speed. The improved knife design prevents bending, delivering superior performance even with elastic materials. Additionally, the corner knives are easily adjustable, allowing for precise material cutting with minimal thrusting.

Small Article Handling with Advanced Stacker

The machine features two types of stackers – the clamp bar stacker (SP-46N) and the roller stacker (SP-47N) – capable of handling materials with a minimum distance of 250mm from the edge to the pocket. A standard stacking sensor prevents errors, ensuring accurate and efficient stacking of small articles.

Innovative Corner-Knife Cutting Adjustment

The Juki APW-896NS-12ZR2K introduces the world's first "corner-knife cutting adjustment" via the operation panel, allowing fine adjustments in 0.1mm increments. This computer-controlled mechanism enables precise cutting positions for high-quality welts and reduces the time required for adjustments, achieving impeccable results.

Equal Backtack Stitch Length for Slanted Pockets

To improve seam quality, the machine incorporates a function to equalize the backtack stitch length for both right and left sides when sewing slanted pockets. This feature ensures consistent and high-quality backtack seams.

Automatic Left-Flap Angle Detection

Standard on the APW-896N, the automatic left-flap angle detection function utilizes sensors to adjust the starting and ending positions of the needles when sewing left flaps, achieving parallel stitching even with minor differences in angle. This feature enhances the precision and quality of flap sewing.
