The machine is designed for improved stitching with heavy thread tension. JUKI’s unique active tension mechanism which has been re-designed specifically for heavy-weight materials, as well as the special thread take up which is suited for sewing heavy-weight materials, increase the maximum tension by 50% more compared to that of the standard models of the JUKI AMS Series machines. The new model improves seam quality (thread tension) for sewing seat belts and general heavy-weight materials such as container belts and bags. A remarkable degree of energy conservation is achieved by the adoption of the encoder-control system. The sewing machine has been designed with additional consideration for the environment. Market-proven active tension has been introduced to the needle thread tension controller. Since mechanism is reproducible, supporting a broader range of sewing conditions, the time required for setup changing upon process changeover can be reduced. The large-sized liquid crystal touch panel, which has been developed to ensure ease of operation, dramatically increases efficiency in edit work. The sewing machine is provided with the wiper-returning detection sensor and two optical sensors to prevent thread entanglement after the occurrence of the error and to detect the flow of the two threads. This ensures highly-accurate thread breakage detection.
