Juki DLN-9010ASSWB/AK118 Single Needle High Speed Direct Drive Needle Feed Sewing Machine Complete Unit with Table and Servo Motor

This is a direct-drive, high-speed needle-feed lockstitch machine designed for light- to medium-weight materials that tend to slip, shift, or pucker. Its needle-feed system helps keep layers aligned for cleaner seams. A standard micro-lifter and pedal-driven auto-lifter make it especially well suited for delicate or hard-to-handle fabrics, helping improve control and efficiency during positioning and repeated sewing.

MACHINE FEATURES:

• Needle-Feed Mechanism for Slippage-Prone Fabrics: The needle advances in sync with the feed dog, carrying the top layer through the stitch line rather than letting it slide under the presser foot. This minimizes ply shift and puckering on low-friction or unstable materials such as synthetics and linings, and helps maintain register over longer seams.
• Convertible Needle-Feed / Bottom-Feed Operation: By a simple adjustment and gauge change, the machine can be switched from needle feed to conventional bottom feed. This lets you run stable needle-feed programs for tricky fabrics, yet still use the same head as a standard lockstitch where needle feed isn’t needed.
• Compact Direct-Drive Servomotor for Stable High-Speed Sewing: The compact servomotor is directly connected to the main shaft, supporting sewing speed up to
• High Presser-Foot Lift up to 15 mm: The presser foot can be raised to a maximum of
• Micro-Lifter for Sensitive Fabrics: A standard micro-lifter keeps the presser foot slightly floating above elastic or other hard-to-sew materials, helping reduce layer slippage and minimizing marks or damage from foot pressure.
• Pedal-Driven Auto-Lifter: The AK118 auto-lifter raises the presser foot by pedal, so operators can lift the foot without letting go of the material, making repeated positioning quicker and helping reduce fatigue over long runs.
• Automatic Thread Trimmer for Shorter Cycles: A timing-controlled trimming mechanism cuts threads up to about
• Automatic Reverse + Thread Wiper for Cleaner Seam Ends: The machine combines an automatic reverse-feed function, which performs programmed backtacks at the start and end of seams, with a thread wiper that pulls the needle thread away after trimming. Together they secure the seam automatically and leave less loose thread to clean up by hand.
• Safety Switch for Safer Maintenance: If the machine head is tilted while the power is still on, a safety switch disables drive so the machine cannot run even if the foot pedal is pressed. This helps protect operators and technicians during threading, cleaning, or service work under the head.
• SC-920A Control Box: The reliable control box includes an energy-saving mode that cuts power consumption in standby by about
• CP-18A Operation Panel: The user-friendly operation panel provides centralized setting of functions such as automatic reverse-feed stitching and multi-layer stitching, as well as access to key production data. Output control shows target piece count and the live difference from target, while operation-measuring modes display machine availability, pitch time and average stitch speed. A dedicated bobbin counter tracks usage per run. Together these readouts give a quick view of station performance.
• More Consistent Quality Across Difficult Styles: Needle feed, micro-lifter and controlled reverse stitching hold layers in register and stabilize seam formation on slippery, layered and mark-sensitive fabrics, raising first-pass yield on light- to medium-weight programs.
• Higher Effective Output Per Station: Direct-drive,
• Cleaner Process, Fewer Oil-Related Losses: Dry-type needle feed and lubricating system without an oil pan keep oil away from the fabric zone, sharply cutting the risk of stains and the rework they generate.
• Better Control Over Line Performance: The CP-18A panel’s counters and operation-measuring modes show target vs. actual pieces, availability, pitch time, speed and bobbin use, giving supervisors hard data to balance the line and spot issues early.
• Needle Feed for Challenging Fabrics: The needle moves in sync with the feed dog, carrying the top ply through the seam instead of letting it slide under the foot. This keeps layers aligned and reduces puckering on low-friction materials, especially on longer runs.
• Switchable Needle / Bottom Feed: With a simple adjustment and gauge change, the head can run either in needle-feed mode or as a conventional bottom-feed lockstitch. One machine can cover tricky, shift-prone fabrics and standard styles without changing stations.
• Enhanced Lubrication System with Dry-Type Needle Feed: The needle-feed mechanism itself requires no oil; only a small amount is supplied to the hook and needle bar. With no oil pan and minimal circulation, the risk of leaks and oil stains on garments is significantly reduced.
• Direct Drive & 5,000 stitches/minute Maximum Speed: A compact servomotor is connected directly to the main shaft, supporting speeds up to
• 300 mm Needle-to-Arm Working Space: The
• Presser-Foot Lift up to 15 mm: The presser foot can be raised as high as
• Micro-Lifter for Mark-Sensitive Materials: The built-in micro-lifter lets the foot float slightly above elastic or delicate fabrics, reducing surface marking and helping layers feed evenly without being crushed.
• Pedal Auto-Lifter: The AK118 unit raises the presser foot by pedal action, so operators can lift the foot without releasing the work. This speeds up repeated positioning and helps reduce fatigue on long runs.
• Fast Thread Trimmer: A trimming mechanism cuts thread tails at the end of the seam faster than previous designs, while keeping cut quality reliable. Seam ends are finished cleanly and the overall cycle per piece is shorter.
• Automatic Backtack and Thread Wiper: Programmed reverse stitching secures the seam at the beginning and end, and the wiper pulls the needle thread away after trimming. Together they reduce loose thread cleanup and standardize seam securing across operators.
• Safety Switch for Maintenance: When the head is tilted with power on, a safety switch disables drive so the machine won’t run even if the pedal is pressed. Threading, cleaning and under-head service can be done with less risk of accidental start.
