AMS-224EN-6030/IP420[600mm(X)×300mm(Y)]

The cycle machine, which has a wider sewing
area, achieves an improved seam quality,
increased productivity and easier operation.

The machine not only achieves higher productivity due to instantaneous
increases/decreases in sewing speed at the beginning /end of sewing and
increased speed of thread trimming, but also achieves a flexible responsiveness to
materials to promise enhanced seam quality due to JUKI's unique active tension
and programmable intermediate presser.
The AMS-EN Series has been favorably received in the market because of its ease
of use, achieved by the smooth setting of sewing material and the large-sized color
liquid crystal touch panel.
The following two additional models are now added to the Series:

The AMS-224EN-4530 [450mm(X)×300mm(Y)]
The AMS-224EN-6030 [600mm(X)×300mm(Y)]

A newly developed encoder-controlled stepping motor system has been adopted
for the X-Y feed mechanism. This contributes to more accurate sewing
performance and increased productivity.

The machine performs various kinds of stitching, making the most out of its
wider sewing area in various sewing applications such as attaching
handles to bags and pouches, attaching belts, sewing many small parts at
a time, attaching parts to shoes and sports shoes (one pair of shoes) and
sewing air bags.

materials and stitching types.

Power consumption is

substantially reduced

The AMS-224EN has been designed laying importance on electrical
power saving for increased economization. The machine has adopted the
direct-drive system utilizing a compact-sized AC servomotor to drive the
machine head. It has also adopted an encoder control system which
drives the stepping motor with a minimum electrical power according to
the weight of the material and stitch length for the material-feeding X-Y
drive. With these two systems, the average power consumption of the
machine is reduced by 30% during operation and 45% during standby as
compared with our conventional model (AMS-224C) which does not
incorporate the encoder control system.

＊The graph provides a comparison between the AMS-224EN and AMS-224C when sewing

shape tacking (approximately 1,000 stitches) of the upper parts of right and left shoes under
 the continuous sewing mode.

Power conservation

Higher productivity

●The machine achieves the highest sewing speed of 2,500sti/min among
those with a similar sewing area. The maximum sewing speed is reached
by the 2nd stitch from the beginning of sewing. The machine remains at
the maximum sewing speed until just before the end of sewing and
decelerates instantaneously.

●JUKI's unique stepping-motor controlled thread trimming mechanism is
adopted to enable speedy and consistent thread trimming performance,
substantially reducing the total cycle time.

●The machine demonstrates enhanced responsiveness due to the
adoption of a main-shaft direct-drive system.

JUKI ECO PRODUCTS

The AMS-224EN is an eco-friendly product which complies with JUKI ECO PRODUCTS standards
for protecting the environment.

The sewing machine complies with the "Juki Group Green Procurement Guidelines" on the use of hazardous
substances, which is stricter than other restrictions, such as those of the RoHS Directive.

For details of JUKI ECO PRODUCTS, refer to:http://www.juki.co.jp/eco_e/index.html

The RoHS Directive is an EU Directive limiting the use of 6 hazardous substances (lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, cadmium, PBB and PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment.
The Juki Green Procurement Guideline is the voluntarily established criteria to eliminate not only the aforementioned six substances, but also other ones which also adversely affect the environment.

beautiful seams. With these features, the machine
dramatically improves seam quality.

Quality

Quality

The position of the feed can be checked during

sewing by means of the encoder-controlled X-Y

drive stepping motor. This remarkably improves

accuracy of the feed. As a result, deformation of a

sewing pattern which is likely to occur when sewing

at a high speed or sewing a heavy-weight material

is significantly reduced.

Semi-dry head

The frame (needle bar unit and thread take-up unit) is lubricated with grease, and the hook
is fed with a minute quantity of oil from the oil tank.
JUKI’s advanced dry technology, which is utilized in a number of our sewing machine
models, protects your products from being stained with oil.

Active tension

Market-proven active tension has been introduced to
the needle thread tension controller. With the active
tension, pinpoint changes in the needle thread
tension during sewing are enabled. The needle thread
tension, therefore, can be set in conjunction with the
material thickness and can be corrected according to
the direction of sewing on a stitch-by-stitch basis
through the operation panel. Since the needle thread
tension is reproducible, supporting a broader range
of sewing conditions, the time required for setup
changing upon process changeover can be reduced.

Programmable intermediate presser

With the programmable intermediate presser, the height of the lower dead point of the
intermediate presser can be set according to the material thickness, thereby not only
preventing troubles in sewing such as stitch skipping and thread breakage, but also protecting
the sewing product from being damaged by the presser. The height setting can be changed
with ease even during sewing. The machine finishes beautiful uniform seams free from stitch
skipping even on multiple parts of the material by the ideal combination of the active tension
and programmable intermediate presser.

The height of the intermediate presser is constant.

IP-420

The IP-420 touch panel offers market-proven ease of operation. It is
provided with a wide screen and programmable functions. Data can be
input/edited while visually checking the needle movement.
The color LCD unit displays sewing data such as stitch shape, needle
thread tension, enlargement/reduction ratio, sewing speed and the
number of stitches at a glance. The IP-420 is provided as standard
with 14 different display languages.

Key-lock customization function
The key-lock state can be set as desired. It is therefore possible to hide items which should not
be handled by the operators.

Simplified operation mode
Simplification of set items and screen transition of the IP-420 increases ease of use and helps
reduce operator fatigue.

The large-sized liquid crystal touch panel, which
has been developed to ensure ease of operation,
dramatically increases efficiency in edit work.

The memory storage capability of the main bod y of the sew ing
mac hine has been dramatically enhanced. Now the USB-ready main
body of the sewing machine uses many different kinds of media.

Sewing data created with the IP-420 can be stored in the memory of the main
body of the sewing machine. The memory storage capacity is 500,000
stitches and 999 patterns (max. 50,000 stitches per pattern) at the maximum.

In addition to the CompactFlash 33 card, the main body of
the sewing machine is provided as standard with a USB
connector. Now, data can be input/output to/from various
kinds of media (FD (floppy disks), SM (SmartMedia), CF
(CompactFlash), SD (Secure Digital Card) etc.) by means
of a USB thumb device and a card reader. The maximum
number of stitches that can be stored in the memory for
each medium is approximately 50,000,000.

Programming software for computer-controlled sewing machines 「PM-1」Ver.3

On the PM-1 programming software, a sewing
data shape can be checked more precisely as
compared with the IP-420.
As a result, frequent trial stitching can be directly
done in repetition when editing complicated and
fine sewing shape data, thereby allowing the
operator to create a sewing shape as desired
free from stress possibly caused by editing.

plates of the cassette holder while the machine is still engaged in the
sewing of the currently set material.

Metallic feed plate blank for machining

It reduces the load applied to thick thread by being used in combination
with the active tension.

The unit can be mounted on the main body of the sewing machine to
carry out the milling operations of work clamps or feed plates.

So as to prevent any accidents that may be caused when the feeding
frame does not match a program, a program which matches the feeding
frame can be invoked by reading the bar-code.
