JUKI DDL-8700H – HEAVY-WEIGHT SINGLE NEEDLE INDUSTRIAL LOCKSTITCH MACHINE

Juki DDL-8700H is a 1-needle, straight-stitch industrial lockstitch machine specially designed for heavy-weight fabrics such as denim, canvas, vinyl, and upholstery materials. It combines Juki’s renowned precision with the extra power and durability required for thick, multi-layered seams.

The optimally balanced, rigid machine head—engineered using advanced 3D-CAD design—ensures low vibration, quiet operation, and exceptional stability. A wider arm-to-needle space provides excellent material handling, even with bulky projects.

Its low-tension sewing mechanism adapts to different heavy materials, delivering smooth, even seams of consistent quality. With a presser foot lift of up to 13mm via the knee lifter and a maximum stitch length of 5mm, it’s ideal for heavy-duty garment production, leather goods, and workwear manufacturing.

Equipped with the SC-920C control box and M92 compact servomotor, the DDL-8700H offers improved energy efficiency, reducing standby power consumption by approximately 25%.
