1-NEEDLE LOCKSTITCH SEWING MACHINE WITH DIRECT DRIVE
AND TRIPLE FEED
The consistent use of state-of-the-art control technology has made it possible to program all ma-
chine parameters programmatically, making them directly accessible. This ensures that the process
parameters are free from operator influence and after each setup.
The innovative dynamic machine parameters based on the current speed and the permanent materi-
al thickness measurement open up new paths in terms of processing quality, process reliability and
reducing cycle times.
Typical applications:
Automotive Upholstery Suitcase Bag
INTENDED USE
Any use not approved by the manufacturer is considered improper!
Proper use also includes compliance with the prescribed operating, adjustment,
maintenance and repair measures. Damage due to non-intended use is not covered by
