JUKI LG-158-1 750mm Long Arm Unison Feed Head Vertical Hook Industrial Sewing Machine

Juki LG-158-1 Long Arm Unison-Feed Sewing Machine

Overview: The Juki LG-158-1 is a robust 1-needle, long-arm lockstitch machine, specifically designed for heavy-duty sewing applications. Featuring a 750mm arm-to-needle distance and a powerful unison-feed mechanism, this machine excels in handling large, heavy materials like tents, sheets, and other substantial fabrics. Its vertical-axis large hook and advanced features ensure high productivity and consistent seam quality, making it a reliable choice for industrial sewing environments.

Key Features:

• Generous 750mm Long Arm for Large Projects: The extensive 750mm free space under the arm allows for easy handling of large materials. This spacious design is ideal for sewing bulky items, enabling the fabric to be spread comfortably over the machine bed, which is particularly useful for tasks like creating tents and sheets.
• Enhanced Operability: The machine's structure is optimized for user convenience, with a handwheel positioned centrally on the arm for better control and a front-mounted bobbin winder for quick and easy operation. These features enhance the sewing experience, especially when dealing with heavy and large-scale materials.
• High Presser Foot Lift: With a maximum presser foot lift of 21.5mm, the Juki LG-158-1 makes it easy to position and remove extra-heavy materials. This high lift capacity is crucial for managing thick fabrics, ensuring smooth and efficient sewing operations.
• Safety Device for Needle and Hook Protection: Equipped with an automatic safety device, the machine prevents damage to the needle and hook if thread jams occur. A simple press of the reset button restores the machine to its normal operating state, minimizing downtime and protecting vital components.
• Consistent Seam Quality with Unison Feed: The unison-feed mechanism ensures a smooth and steady feed of materials, maintaining consistent seam quality without slippage. The machine also offers a selection of eleven different needle gauges, allowing users to choose the optimal gauge for their specific sewing needs.
• Reduced Bobbin Thread Replacement Frequency: The vertical-axis large hook significantly reduces the frequency of bobbin thread replacements, enhancing efficiency and allowing for longer uninterrupted sewing sessions. This feature is especially beneficial in high-volume industrial settings.
