Product overview

Product features

  • Button sewing machine with the bird's nest preventing / shorter thread remaining functions which eliminates thread nipping work

    Users who are conscious about the finished quality of products manually nip, with scissors, the thread remaining on the material after thread trimming at the end of sewing. Now, the button sewing machine with the bird's nest preventing/shorter thread remaining functions saves such users the trouble of nipping the thread, thereby preventing the sewing product from being damaged by manual thread-nipping with scissors.

  • The sewing machine eliminates so-called "bird's nests" (thread tangling in on the wrong side of the material at the beginning of sewing)

    The thread is retained at the beginning of sewing and any excess thread is trimmed during sewing. As a result, the length of thread sewn in the seam is shortened, thereby achieving high-quality sewing performance while preventing thread from tangling in on the wrong side "of the material."

  • Length of thread remaining on the material at the end of sewing has been reduced to 2 mm or less*

    The newly-developed shorter-thread remaining mechanism trims the thread shorter after the regular thread trimming operation.
    Additionally, thread waste produced by thread trimming is withdrawn by suction. Thanks to this mechanism, the trouble of manual thread nipping is avoided.
    *Remaining length of thread varies with sewing conditions.

  • Management of sewing performance and sewing machine by the utilization of IoT (Internet of Things)

    Data on sewing machine adjustments made according to the product to be sewn can be transferred to a commercially-available Android tablet in contactless mode. This enables quick check for uniform settings as well as confirmation of conditions of sewing machines in a sewing line, thereby facilitating setup changes. The operation panel is also provided as standard with a USB port. Data management and software update can be carried out with ease using a USB thumb drive.
    Data items of sewing can be numerically managed to ensure "stable quality" and "reduction in time required for setup changes".
    Quantified sewing data can be externally taken from the sewing machine using an Android tablet or USB thumb drive.
    *Android OS Version 6.0 is recommended to use JUKI Smart APP.
    (Operation is confirmed with respect to Versions 5.0 and later. )
    Contact JUKI distributor in your area for how to use the application software.

Basic performance

  • Higher productivity

    The machine achieves sewing speed of 2,700sti/min. The machine's starting, stopping, thread-trimming and automatic presser lifting speeds have been increased to significantly shorten total cycle time.

  • Excellent seam quality

    Needle thread grasping mechanism helps produce consistent knot tying at the beginning of sewing.

  • Many different sewing patterns

    • The machine is provided as standard with 50 different sewing patterns. The machine permits easy changeover of sewing patterns for effortless execution of an inexhaustible range of sewing specifications.
    • The LK-1903BN is also able to sew buttons using the same data used for the LK-1903 (Data in EP-ROM are enabled by conversion).
  • The sewing starting point can be corrected

    The sewing starting point can be shifted in the X/Y direction. This enables the correction of a sewing pattern in accordance with the presser foot configuration.

  • Oil stains are eliminated

    • Thanks to our advanced dry-head technology, the frame (needle bar and thread take-up) no longer requires lubrication. This prevents the material from being stained with lubricating oil.
    • Just a small quantity of clean oil is supplied from the oil tank to the hook.
  • Eco-friendly power saving

    An encoder is installed in the pulse motor, thereby achieving substantially improved power-consumption saving.

  • Auto-lifter mechanism utilizing a system

    • The machine is provided as standard with auto-lifter that uses a stepping-motor system. This helps reduce operator fatigue.
    • It is also possible to change over the stroke of the auto-lifter from a onestep stroke to a double-step stroke, which offers easier positioning of a material on the machine. For the double-step stroke, an intermediate stopping height can be established on the operation panel.
    • The work clamp foot lift can be set to a maximum of 13mm.

  • The machine is provided as standard with the active tension 
    (electronic thread tension control mechanism)

    • Since the machine is provided with an active tension mechanism, it is able to set a needle thread tension that matches various sewing conditions (such as thread, material and sewing speed) on the operation panel, store the data in memory and reproduce it.
    • The needle thread tension can be separated according to stitching type or portion of a seam, such as the beginning part of the seam, base stitched part, zigzag stitched part and end of the seam (fastening stitch).
    • When the operation panel is used in combination with the active tension, the needle thread tension can be set on a stitch-by-stitch basis. This helps eliminate undesired thread tension variations at a multi-layered part of a material or with sewing direction, thereby contributing to upgraded seam quality.

  • LED LIGHT

    The LED light can adjust the light intensity to 5 levels, and Off setting is also possible. The operator can set the brightness which is easy to work, improving work efficiency.
