Computer-controlled Cycle Machine with Input Function

New technologies have helped the AMS Series increase “productivity,” achieve ”energy conservation” in consideration of the global environment, and further improve “quality.”

Product features

  • The AMS-221EN Series comes in two different models which differ in sewing area Medium

Basic performance

  • Cycle time is shortened

    • The sewing machine has achieved the industry's highest sewing speed of 2,800sti/min. The maximum sewing speed is reached by the 2nd stitch from the beginning of sewing. Since the sewing machine maintains its highest sewing speed immediately before the end of sewing and instantaneously decreases its speed, cycle time can be substantially decreased.
    • JUKI's unique stepping-motor controlled thread trimming mechanism is adopted to enable speedy and consistent thread trimming performance.
    • The machine demonstrates enhanced responsiveness due to the adoption of a main-shaft direct-drive system.

  • The maximum sewing speed per
    stitching-pitch (stitch length) is increased

    Sewing at the maximum sewing speed of 2,800sti/min is possible up to stitching pitch of 4mm for the AMS-210EN or 3.5mm for the AMS-221EN (the highest sewing speed and stitching pitch in the industrial sewing machine industry). Even for the larger pitches, the sewing speed is increased by 60% for the AMS-221EN at the maximum when compared with the conventional models, thereby reducing the cycle time.

    *The sewing speed is automatically controlled according to the stitching pitch.

  • Power consumption is substantially decreased

    The AMS Series are an economically-efficient model which has been designed to reduce power consumption.
    The AMS-210EN is an economically-efficient model which has been designed to reduce power consumption. The sewing machine has adopted a direct-drive system by means of a compact AC servomotor that is excellent in energy transmission to drive the main shaft, and has adopted an encoder-control system which drives the stepping motor with a minimum of power in accordance with the material thickness and stitch length to control the X-Y drive mechanism. Power consumption of the new AMS Series is reduced by 45% when compared with the conventional AMS-221E.

  • Improvement of seam quality

    The position of the feed can be checked during sewing by means of the encoder-controlled X-Y drive stepping motor. This remarkably improves accuracy of the feed. As a result, deformation of a sewing pattern which is likely to occur when sewing at a high speed or sewing a heavy-weight material is significantly reduced.

  • Semi-dry head

    The frame (needle bar unit and thread take-up unit) is lubricated with grease, and the hook is fed with a minute quantity of oil from the oil tank. JUKI's advanced dry technology, which is utilized in a number of our sewing machine models, protects your products from being stained with oil.

  • Programmable intermediate presser

    To support the sewing of multi-layered parts of materials, the lower dead point height of the intermediate presser can be changed steplessly during sewing (standard: 0~3.5mm; maximum: 0~7.0mm). The intermediate presser will now be able to clamp the material without fail, thereby preventing troubles in sewing, such as stitch skipping and thread breakage. Furthermore, flaws on the sewing product are prevented by maintaining the intermediate height as desired according to the material thickness. (The intermediate presser stroke is adjustable between 0 and 10mm.)

  • Two different types of feeding frames

    The feeding frame comes in two different types; the monolithic feeding frame and the separately-driven feeding frame. The separately-driven feeding frame enables easy placement of the sewing material on the machine since its right and left frame parts can be operated separately. Both the amount of lift and the ascending/descending speed of the feeding frame can be adjusted differently for the right and left parts of the frame.

  • Double-stepped stroke feeding frame

    The feeding frame can be lowered in two steps. It is very convenient for finely positioning the material on the sewing machine. The stopping height of the feeding frame can be set as desired with ease.

  • Active tension

    Market-proven active tension has been introduced to the needle thread tension controller. With the active tension, pinpoint changes in the needle thread tension during sewing are enabled. The needle thread tension, therefore, can be set in conjunction with the material thickness and can be corrected according to the direction of sewing on a stitch-by-stitch basis through the operation panel. Since the needle thread tension is reproducible, supporting a broader range of sewing conditions, the time required for setup changing upon process changeover can be reduced.

  • The machine supports a broader range of materials and various sewing specifications

    The machine can be used for free pattern stitching, parts sewing, reinforcement stitching, etc.
    Examples of applications include the attaching of labels, emblems and name labels, the attaching of Velcro, various shape-tacking, and special bartacking.

  • Operation panel provided with programmable functions IP-420
    (provided as standard)

    The large-sized liquid crystal touch panel, which has been developed to ensure ease of operation, dramatically increases efficiency in edit work.

    The IP-420 touch panel offers market-proven ease of operation. It is provided with a wide screen and programmable functions. Data can be input/edited while visually checking the needle movement.
    The color LCD unit displays sewing data such as stitch shape, needle thread tension, enlargement/reduction ratio, sewing speed and the number of stitches at a glance. The IP-420 is provided as standard with 14 different display languages.

    • Key-lock customization function
      The key-lock state can be set as desired. It is therefore possible to hide items which should not be handled by the operators.
    • Simplified operation mode
      Simplification of set items and screen transition of the IP-420 increases ease of use and helps reduce operator fatigue.

     

  • The memory storage capability of the main body of the sewing machine has been dramatically enhanced
    Now the USB-ready main body of the sewing machine uses many different kinds of media

    Sewing data created with the IP-420 can be stored in the memory of the main body of the sewing machine. The memory storage capacity is 500,000 stitches and 999 patterns (max. 50,000 stitches per pattern) at the maximum. In addition to the CompactFlash 33 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. The maximum number of stitches that can be stored in the memory for each medium is approximately 50,000,000.
