Juki LH-3588A-GF – Heavy-Duty Twin Needle Lockstitch with Split Needle Bar

The Juki LH-3588A-GF is a high-performance semi-dry head, heavy-weight 2-needle lockstitch industrial sewing machine designed for jeans, denim, and other tough materials. Featuring large hooks, a split needle bar, and a direct-drive system, this machine offers exceptional seam quality, improved penetration force, and reduced power consumption for efficient, reliable production.

With energy savings of up to 21% compared to previous models, an upgraded oiling system, and advanced thread tension control, the LH-3588A-GF ensures smooth operation and consistent stitch quality—even when sewing multi-layered sections or using thicker threads.

Key Features:

• Split Needle Bar Design – Allows for versatile twin-needle operation, ideal for heavy-weight materials and jeans production.

• Semi-Dry Head – Eliminates oil stains on fabric from the needle bar area.

• Large Hooks (1.8x Standard Size) – Reduces bobbin changes for increased productivity.

• Direct-Drive Motor – Improves responsiveness, stop accuracy, and material penetration force by up to 32%.

• Energy-Efficient – Uses approximately 21% less power with the SC-920A control box and compact motor.

• Advanced Thread Tension Control – Maintains optimal stitch quality for both light and heavy threads.

• Improved Thread Trimming Mechanism – Reliable trimming for thick threads with increased bobbin thread retention.

• Micro-Lifter Presser Foot Adjustment – Reduces fabric distortion when sewing elastic or textured materials.

• Two Selectable Oiling Methods –

  • Eco-Oil (Circulation Type) – Recycles filtered oil to reduce consumption.

  • Clean Oil Method – Supplies only clean oil to the hook for delicate fabrics.

• Production Support Functions – Integrated operation panel with output control, operation measurement, and bobbin counter.
