Juki DP2100 SZ Lockstitch Sleeve Setting

JUKI DP-2100

Computer-controlled, Dry-head, Lockstitch Sleeve Setting Machine with Multi-programming Device

The machine is the culmination of JUKI's leading edge technologies to enable a sleeve setting process, which is the most difficult of all sewing processes, thereby more easily achieving upgraded seam quality. The machine comes with a newly developed belt feed mechanism that offers excellent responsiveness to materials and ease of their handling.

Color panel, IP-420C, with upgraded operability

• Since the machine comes with a touch-sensitive operation panel with a
  color LCD, data required for sewing, such as the shirring amount, needle
  thread tension and stitch pitch can be entered with ease.
• In addition to the CompactFlash TM, the machine is provided as
  standard with a USB connector. As a result, the use of a USB flash drive
  or card reader enables the storage and transmission of sewing data by
  means of various kinds of media (such as a floppy disk, SmartMedia,
  CompactFlash and SD card) to enable sewing using the same sewing
  data among sewing machines in a plant or among subcontract plants.
• The operating screen gives a graphic display of an armhole.
  The operator can, therefore, easily confirm the portion to be sewn and
  enter/edit data.

Operation mode selection is enabled

The operation mode of a single machine can be changed over between
manual, semi-auto and full-auto according to the ease of use for each
operator.

Dry-head sleeve sewing machine

The DP-2100 is the world's first sleeve sewing machine that has adopted
the dry-head technology, which does not need oiling. The machine
protects the sleeve sewing process, which determines the quality of men's
and ladies' garments, from troubles such as oil stains. No need for
lubrication facilitates maintenance.

Highly-reliable direct-drive system

The machine comes with the direct-drive system, in which a compact AC
servomotor is directly joined to the main shaft. It offers a quick startup,
increased stopping accuracy and excellent responsiveness.

Increased lift of the presser foot

An increase in the lift of the presser foot facilitates placement of the
material under the presser foot as well as the removal of a finished portion.

Stitch length is increased

The maximum stitch length has been increased to 6 mm.
With this large stitch length, an adequate shirring amount is
ensured even when a heavy-weight material is used.

An excellent new type belt feed mechanism

• Thanks to JUKI's unique right-and-left independent drive system of
  the top feed belt, right and left feed amounts can be adjusted
  separately. This prevents the material from slipping out of position,
  thereby sewing sleeves with a consistent seam allowance.
• The machine comes provided with a mechanism for moving the belt
  feed and intermediate presser up and down alternately, enabling it
  to eliminate tucks produced at the sleep cap as well as irregular
  puckering produced in the neighborhood of the sleeve cap.
• By introducing the belt feed, the machine reduces scratches to the
  material made by the feed.

The machine has solved the problems of conventional sleeve-attaching machines.

The introduction of active-tension enables the separate setting of
suitable thread tensions for sewing sleeves on a portion-by-portion
basis. This prevents an inadequate thread tension at a portion
where the shirring amount is large or an excessive thread tension
at a portion where the shirring amount is small. In addition,
specified tension settings can be stored in the memory on a
pattern-by-pattern basis and can be reproduced with ease.
