High-speed, Computer-controlled Buttonholing Indexer

For a more sophisticated appearance, faster operation, and easier use! The latest machine head reduces operating noise and improves the maintainability of the cloth-cutting knife. Comes with a large color LCD touch panel to improve operability.

The preset mechanism helps increase productivity

Since the automatic buttonholing indexer carries out buttonholing successively, the operator conventionally has had waiting time while the sewing machine is in operation (for buttonholing). JUKI’s preset mechanism allows the operator to place the subsequent garment body to be sewn on the preset board while the sewing machine is still engaged in the sewing of the current garment body (so-called overlapping work). Consequently, the operator now can use his/her waiting time effectively during operation to achieve increased productivity.

Sub-clamp device to support the buttonholing of fabrics with vertical stripes

The sewing machine comes with a sub-clamp device that prevents material slippage during transport from the preset mechanism to the sewing machine. The independent sub-clamp device of the carriage unit on the machine head clamps the material to keep it from slipping out of position. This function promises reliable delivery operation and consistent seam quality even when sewing vertical-striped fabrics. The machine is also equipped with a function to eliminate false starts by detecting whether or not a material is present.

A large color LCD touch panel IP-420 for touch operation

The larger screen of the new color LCD touch panel displays sewing data such as the stitch shape and stitch number. The input function on the operation panel enhances ease of use by allowing the operator to input and edit sewing data while watching the area around the needle entry points. The operation panel is equipped with USB and CompactFlash ports for easier software upgrades and data-sharing with other devices.

A single buttonholing indexer for both men’s and ladies’ shirts

The sewing mode can be easily switched between men’s dress shirts and ladies’ blouses on the operation panel. Sewing specifications (buttonhole size, buttonhole interval, etc.) can also be quickly and easily changed with a few touches of the panel interface. Buttonholes can be sewn from the top when sewing ladies’ garment bodies, just as they are with men’s. The machine can also space buttonholes at different intervals on a garment, as required.
