JUKI AMS-224EN Series – Computer-Controlled Cycle Sewing Machine with Input Function (Models: AMS-224EN-4530 & AMS-224EN-6030)

The JUKI AMS-224EN Series introduces a new generation of wide-area programmable cycle machines engineered for maximum productivity, accuracy, and operator usability. With newly enhanced X-Y drive control, improved ergonomics, and high-speed sewing capability, the AMS-224EN Series delivers precise, stable stitching even on heavy-weight and multi-layered materials. High Productivity & Shortened Cycle Time The AMS-224EN Series dramatically reduces cycle time through: Industry-leading sewing speed of 2,500 sti/min for its class Instant acceleration to top speed by the 2nd stitch Maintaining top speed until the end of the cycle JUKI’s stepping-motor thread trimming mechanism, ensuring fast and consistent trimming Direct-drive AC servomotor for immediate responsiveness These improvements allow production lines to run more efficiently and consistently, especially in repetitive sewing operations. Wider Sewing Area for Larger Applications Two new large-area models expand the AMS-EN lineup: AMS-224EN-4530: 450 mm (X) × 300 mm (Y) AMS-224EN-6030: 600 mm (X) × 300 mm (Y) The increased sewing field enables the machine to handle a broader variety of operations including reinforcement stitching, decorative patterns, emblems, Velcro attachment, tacking, and large-format free-pattern sewing. Advanced Encoder-Controlled X-Y Drive System A newly developed stepping-motor encoder system improves: Feed accuracy Pattern quality Speed stability Stitch consistency, even at high speeds or on heavy materials This significantly reduces pattern deformation and ensures superior seam appearance. Significant Power Savings The AMS-224EN Series is designed for energy efficiency through: Direct-drive AC servomotor Encoder-controlled stepping motor regulating power by stitch length & material thickness Power savings vs. earlier model AMS-224C: 30% reduction during operation 45% reduction during standby Semi-Dry Head – No Oil Stains The needle bar and take-up components are grease-lubricated, while the hook receives minimal controlled lubrication from a dedicated oil tank. This semi-dry design prevents oil staining and ensures a cleaner sewing environment. Active Thread Tension System JUKI’s renowned Active Tension enables: Stitch-by-stitch tension control Automatic tension compensation based on fabric thickness & sewing direction Repeatable, stable tension even across process changes This minimizes setup time and improves quality across a wider range of materials. Programmable Intermediate Presser The intermediate presser height can be adjusted during sewing to perfectly match material thickness. Benefits include: No stitch skipping No thread breakage No fabric damage Consistent seam quality on multi-layered materials Preset ranges: Standard height: 0–3.5 mm Maximum height: 0–7.0 mm Stroke adjustable up to 10 mm Enhanced Feeding Frame Design Two feeding frame types are available: Monolithic frame Separately-driven frame – left and right parts can move independently for easier material placement Additional features: 30 mm maximum lift for heavy garments or large parts Double-stepped lowering for precise alignment Independent lift-speed control for left/right frame sections User-Friendly IP-420 Touch Panel The large color LCD touch panel (standard) offers: Multi-language interface (14 languages) Real-time display of stitch shapes, tension, speed, reduction ratio, and stitch count On-screen needle movement visualization Programmable functions Simplified operation mode Key-lock customization to hide sensitive settings This significantly improves editing accuracy and operator usability. Large Memory & USB-Ready Control Box Machine memory capacity: 500,000 stitches total 999 patterns 50,000 stitches per pattern Supported media formats include: USB flash drives Floppy disks (FD) SmartMedia (SM) CompactFlash (CF) SD Cards Maximum storage per media: ~50,000,000 stitches Additional Functional Enhancements Hand Pulley on Machine Arm Allows quick adjustment of: Needle bar height Intermediate presser height Needle entry position during programming Lower Shaft Pulley Allows easy adjustment of hook timing and rotation. PK-2 Pedal Unit with Mechanical Valve Pedal depth controls frame movement, enabling precise positioning of materials before stitching.
