JUKI LU-2818ESAL-7-SC922/CP180

Description

Juki’s latest single-needle lockstitch machine with triple feed for sewing heavy materials such as leather, upholstery, and more. The machine is equipped with automatic functions such as thread trimming, bartacking, presser foot lift, and needle positioning. The walking foot height is adjustable via a graduated dial on the machine head. The ESAL sub-class features a new drive system for higher sewing speeds, an extended stitch length of up to 12 mm, and an XXL hook (2.7 times the capacity of the standard hook). Technical specifications:
– sewing speed 3500 stitches/min
– stitch length 12mm
– presser foot lift 20mm (manual 10mm)
– walking foot lift 9mm
– needles 135×17 Nm 160 (Nm 125 – 200)
– XXL hook capacity x 2.7
– power supply 230V/50Hz

The machine allows programming of the starting and ending bartack lengths and has a function for setting two stitch lengths, which can be changed during sewing using a function button near the sewing zone.
The bartack function can be quickly disabled once in the program.
A quick change function for the walking foot lift is also available.
Automatic functions are programmed using the control panel on the machine head.
A compressed air connection is required.

The new model features a number of improvements that significantly improve operating parameters and make the machine more versatile, including:
a) The machine is driven by a modern, energy-efficient, reinforced servo motor (high torque), mounted in the head directly on the machine’s main shaft. This solution guarantees lower power consumption, reduced vibration, and quieter operation, and ensures full utilization of the motor’s power, which is important when sewing multi-layered, heavy materials.
b) The extended and raised machine arm has increased the working area available to the operator. The distance from the body to the needle is 347mm, and the arm height is 127mm. This increased working area allows for sewing larger materials than before.
c) An improved, new lubrication system ensures lubrication even at low sewing speeds. Oil is supplied to the hook and then filtered to remove any contaminants before returning to the tank. This increases lubrication efficiency and the durability of the machine’s components. The level indicator and the oil filler hole are located in a visible place at the front of the machine body (topping up oil does not require tilting the head).
