Automatic Pocket Welting Machine
with Automatic Welting Patch Feeder
APW-297
(for straight pocket with flap)
APW-297B
(for sewing bottoms)
APW-298
(for slanted pocket with flap)
In addition to improved seam quality and increased
productivity, the APW-297 and APW-298 also delivers dramatic
improvements in basic performance such as better maintainability,
reduction in thread length after thread trimming, and the
adoption of a needle-feed type machine head and direct-drive
machine-activating method.
Newly developed welting patch cutting device and automatic
flap/ pocket bag feeder are now optionally available. These
components work to upgrade seam quality and further increase
productivity over all processes, including the after-process.

Features
| Newly
developed devices (optional) for upgrading
the basic performance of the machine |
| *The same optional parts
are offered for the APW-297 and APW-298.
Since optional parts can't be retrofitted
to the machine after purchase, be sure
to specify any that you may need when
placing your order. |
| Welting
patch cutting device: SA102 |
| The
knife is motor-driven. To cut
the welting patch as short as
possible, it automatically adjusts
itself to the sewing length established
on the operation panel. This enables
more consistent welting patch
feed and folding operations. |
| |
| The
welting patch cutting knife is
located under the welting patch
table. This keeps the knife from
damaging the garment body. In
addition, the knife can be changed
with ease. |
| |
| Welting
patch cutting, a job conventionally
done by hand in the after-process,
is no longer required. The result
is a substantial reduction in
the processing time. |
| |
| The
clamp exclusively used during
welting patches cutting allows
the cutting device to cut welting
patches even when the binder is
in the lower position. This further
eliminates wasted time due to
welting patch cutting. |
| |
 |
|
|
| Automatic
flap and pocket bag feeder: SA104 |
| The
device works to sew the flap and
pocket bag at the same time with
the pocket bag placed on the flap. |
| |
Simultaneous
sewing of a flap and pocket bag
produces beautifully finished
welts free from uneven material
feed.
In addition, there's no longer
any need to attach the pocket
bag on the flap side, a task normally
required in the after process. |
| |
 |
| Automatic
flap feeder: SA103 |
| The
fulcrum at the center of the automatic
flap feeder claw clamps flaps
securely and automatically feeds
them to the sewing position. This
promises increased productivity. |
| |
 |
|
| The
length of thread remaining after
thread trimming is further reduced
to eliminate thread picking. |
| The
length of thread remaining at
the beginning and end of the seam
has been shortened to 15 mm for
needle thread and 22 mm for bobbin
thread. |
| |
| Thread
picking to streamline the after
process is no longer required. |
| |
| The
shortened remaining length of
thread can reduce bobbin thread
waste, increase the number of
welts sewn per bobbin, and reduce
the frequency of bobbin thread
changing. |
| |
 |
|
|
| When
running at its maximum sewing
speed of 3,000 rpm, the machine
increases the traveling speed
of the clamp foot and promises
an extremely rapid response time
at startup and stop. This explains
the machine's unrivalled production
speeds among automatic welting
machines. |
| |
| The
operator can set the next welting
patch, flap (with the automatic
flap feeder), and garment to be
sewn while still sewing those
currently set. This shortens the
cycle time and increases productivity. |

| Sewing welts with

|
| (Sewing conditions: Sewing
length...150 mm; Allowance...25%) |
|
|
| The
machine is equipped with excellent capabilities
as standard |
| Needle-feed
system using a stepping motor. |
| The
needle-feed completely synchronizes
with the clamp foot travel. This
reduces resistance between the
clamp foot and material, thereby
improving seam quality. |
| |
| The
operator can set the length of
needle-feed and the ON-OFF condition
of the needle-feed system on the
operation panel. As a result,
the machine can quickly respond
to a wide variety of materials
and sewing conditions. |
| |
The
operator can also establish the
needle-feed length for reverse
feed sew-ing individually on the
operation panel. |
| |
 |
|
|
| Newly
developed division binder. |
| The
front binder goes up during sewing.
This upgrades productivity by
allowing the operator to easily
set the next garment to be sewn
while the machine is still sewing
the current one. |
| |
The
binder comes straight down after
clamping a welting patch. This
prevents the welting patches from
sagging due to air resistance,
thereby improving the consistency
of welting patch feed.
In addition, the operator has
a wider view around the sewing
area when the binder is in the
upper position. |
| |
 |
|
|
| Crank-type
folding plate. |
The
folding plate folds the welting
patch and presses it down.
This ensures that the folding
plate
can flexibly respond to changes
in material thickness. |
| |
| The
folding plate clamps welting patches
securely and prevents slippage
of welting patches made of slippery
material. |
| |
 |
 |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| Automatic
welting patch feeder. |
| To
ensure consistent welting patch
feed, the automatic welting patch
feeder securely clamps welting
patches made of soft materials
or without interlining cloth. |
| |
With
the automatic welting patch feeder,
the operator can set the next
welting patch to be sewn while
the machine is still sewing the
current welt.
This increases productivity. |
| |
 |
|
|
| Large-size
operation panel with improved
capabilities. |
| The
panel is an interactive type that
uses large icons for easy operation. |
| |
The
error messages that appear on
the display are highly detailed
and
given in characters. The messages
clearly inform the operator of
the appropriate corrective action. |
| |
 |
|
|
| As
many as 100 different patterns
can be stored in memory and 10
different cycle sewing programs
can be established. |
As
many as 100 different sewing patterns
can be stored in memory, each
with its own settings for sewing
length, operation of the knife,
operation of the stacker, and
other sewing conditions.
In addition, new patterns can
be created quickly using the copy
function. |
| |
| For
cycle sewing, as many as 10 different
programs can be registered. As
many as 5 different sewing patterns
can be programmed in combination
in each program. |
| |
 |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| The
direct drive method is adopted
to drive the machine. |
| The
direct drive reduces machine time
by instantly responding to machine
startup and stop commands from
the operator. |
| |
| The
direct drive uses no belt. This
eliminates sewing troubles caused
by the belt such as contamination
of the material and thread entanglement. |
| |
| The
direct drive reduces noise and
vibration during operation to
create a more comfortable work
environment. |
| |
 |
|
|
| APW-298
for slanted pocket with flap. |
| The
function to separately drive
the needle bars allows flexible
setting of the welt angle,
- a key advantage in the
sewing of various kinds
of pocket shapes such as
slant pockets and welt pockets. |
| |
| The
machine is equipped as standard
with JUKI's unique seven-set
turret-type corner knife.
By responding to various
sewing conditions such as
slanted sewing angles, different
sets of corner knives can
be used separately to produce
welts with increased accuracy. |
|
|
 |
|
| The
machine is equipped as standard with
a host of capabilities that increase
efficiency |
| Dart
reference marking lamp. |
| The
lamp makes it easier to set a
garment body on the machine. Moreover,
the positioning of the garment
body no longer has to be marked. |
| |
 |
|
|
| Bobbin
thread remaining amount detecting
device. |
| The
detecting device warns the operator
to replace the bobbin thread before
it runs out. This prevents sewing
troubles such as re-sewing. |
| |
 |
|
|
| Since
the bobbin thread winder is driven
by an external motor mounted outside
the sewing machine, the bobbin
thread can be quickly wound while
the machine is at rest. This improves
the workability of bobbin thread
changing. |
