A powerful H‑TYPE cylinder arm single‑needle lockstitch machine developed for extreme heavy‑duty applications where maximum penetration force, stitch reliability and material control are essential. The 969 series is designed for sewing very thick materials and coarse threads, making it ideal for technical textiles, safety equipment, automotive and industrial products.
Extreme heavy‑duty performance: Engineered for very thick materials and coarse threads, delivering consistent, secure stitches even under the highest loads.
Large barrel shuttle hook: Extra‑large hook with increased bobbin capacity significantly reduces thread changes during long sewing cycles.
Outstanding penetration power: High needle penetration force ensures reliable stitch formation on multi‑layer and dense materials.
Long stitch length: Maximum stitch length up to 15 mm, suitable for assembly seams and bold decorative stitching.
High material clearance: Sewing foot lift up to approx. 30 mm allows easy handling of bulky and rigid workpieces.
Powerful feed system: Alternating top feed with large stroke height ensures smooth feeding over extreme ply differences.
Modern drive and control: Integrated sewing motor with DAC control and multifunction operating panel for precise adjustment and repeatable results.
Industrial versatility: Well-suited to applications such as safety belts, lifting straps, automotive interiors, upholstery and other heavy industrial products.
