Increased productivity

In addition to the high-speed machine head with a maximum

speed of 3,000 sti/min, faster movement (jump and forwarding)

of the clamp foot achieves a shorter machine time.

Power consumption is substantially reduced

The reduced energy consumption of the APW-895/896 ensures

superior power-conservation and cost effectiveness. The adoption

of a direct-drive system (compact AC servomotor) with superb

energy-transfer properties cuts the average power consumption by

75% compared with the forerunner of the APW-895. The power

consumption during standby is reduced by as much as 90%.

JUKI ECOPRODUCTS

The aforementioned d escr iption a pplie s to the APW- 896 Se ries. T he APW-895 Ser ies is also a JUK I ECO PROD UCTS cer tified product.

The APW-896 Series are an eco-friendly product which complies with
JUKI ECO PRODUCTS standards for protecting the environment.

This model has cleared "JUKI Group's Green Procurement Guideline"*, a set of standards stricter than the relevant international
restrictions on the use of hazardous chemical substances (e.g., the RoHS Directive)*.
The introduction of a servomotor has reduced the electrical power consumption by 75%, as compared with the conventional model.
Through design adjustments in the mechanical balance, the vibration of the new model is reduced by 9 dB, as compared with the
conventional model.
The cabinet-retraction design of the stacker helps reduce the package size. As a result, the load capacity of a container for
transportation has been increased by about 80%, as compared with the conventional model.
The number of man-hours required to manufacture the sewing machine has been reduced by 14%, contributing to reduced energy
consumption during the production process.

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.

gy

D

Time required for setup changing is
substantially shortened

.

The machine is equipped with a simple gauge changing

mechanism which enables the changing and adjustment of the

position of the hook driving shaft saddle from the top of the

bed without tilting the machine head. The time required to

change a needle gauge is less than a half of that required by

conventional machines.

.

The position of the folding plate and needle does not change

even when double-/single-welt sewing is changed over.

This means that the folding plate does not need any adjustment.

.

The machine is provided as standard with a micro-adjusting

function for adjusting the clamp foot position. This enables

both accurate and quick adjustments of the welting width.

ustments of the welting width.

The blade point stays

motionless even as the

hook driving shaft

saddle moves.

Increased sharpness of the center knife

An independently driven

(speed can be changed)

stepping motor is adopted

for the center knife.

The center knife therefore

remains unaffected by the

sewing speed and cuts

more sharply and cleanly.

In addition, the knife shape

is improved to prevent

bending and demonstrates

increased sharpness when

an elastic material is being

sewn.

The corner knives are easily adjustable

The corner knives, which can be drawn out in the entire knife

unit is adopted. The knives are easily adjusted and can also be

changed with ease. The slim corner knife cover helps reduce material

thrusting, thereby achieving material cutting with accuracy.

Highly-visible and easy-to-use
large color LCD touch-panel (IP-420)

The graphic display and touch panel on the large color LCD help dramatically

increase ease of use. Basic operations are carried out with the graphic screen

and pictogram buttons. Guidance messages are given in your selected language.

Now the USB-ready main body
of the sewing machine uses many
different kinds of media.

In addition to the CompactFlash 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.

Two kinds of stackers are available; i.e., clamp bar stacker

(SP-46) and roller stacker (SP-47). With the stacker, the machine

is able to handle materials with a shortest distance of 250 mm

from its edge to the pocket. A stacking sensor is also provided as

standard to prevent stacking errors.

A world-

first feature!!

The world's first "corner-knife cutting
adjustment" through the operation panel
is achieved

There are many different kinds of welting patches in terms of

specifications and materials. The corner knife cutting at the corner

part of a welt needs fine adjustments. This can now be easily

adjusted in 0.1 mm steps only through the operation panel since the

corner knife comes with "computer control of the cutting position"

and an "independent right- and left-blade lifting/lowering"

mechanism. Fine adjustments of the amount of knife cutting to the

stitch can be done both in the crosswise and lengthwise directions,

not through the use of a tool, but simply by operating the operation

panel. This substantially reduces the adjustment time and finishes

high-quality welt.

Equal stitch-length right/left backtacking
function is installed

The machine comes with an added function for equalizing the

right and left backtack stitch length for the sewing of slanted

pockets. This function helps improve the backtack seam quality.

The machine is provided as standard with the
"automatic left-flap angle detecting function"

By pressing the automatic angle detection button on the operation

panel when sewing a left flap, the two sensors detect the flap

angle to adjust the sewing starting (sewing end) position of the

right and left needles when sewing a left flap.

This function is provided as standard only on left-flap sewing.

When automatic detection finds a difference of less than 0.5 mm,

parallel stitching is performed.

For the sewing of single welt, the flap-angle detecting sensors

cannot be used. Only the flap sensor can be used.
