The optimum-balance and highly rigid machine head were created using the latest 3D-CAD design technology. Thanks to its low vibration and low noise feature, the machine head provides the operator with a comfortable work environment. In addition, the distance from the machine arm to the needle on the front of the machine is sufficiently wide to allow easy handling of the sewing material. The machine inherits the desirable features, such as high speed stitching performance 5,500rpm, extreme stitching performance, ease of operation, and reliability, from highly evaluated previous JUKI lockstitch machines.
