Juki DDL-8700H Industrial Single Needle Lockstitch Sewing Machine for Medium & Heavy Fabrics

JUKI DDL-8700H – 1-Needle Lockstitch Sewing Machine for Medium & Heavy Fabrics with Automatic Lubrication

For medium- to heavy-weight materials where seams get thicker and handling gets harder, the JUKI DDL-8700H brings stability to everyday lockstitch production. It runs up to 4,000 stitches/minute with a low-tension sewing design that helps keep stitch formation uniform as fabric and construction change. Practical production details — eccentric pin for feed-dog adjustment, throat plate guide grooves, 13 mm foot clearance, and automatic lubrication — keep setup, guidance, and long-run operation straightforward. The payoff is steady output and clean seams that stay consistent across demanding work.

What Sets Juki DDL-8700H Apart?

• 4,000 Stitches/Minute for Controlled Production Sewing
  Delivers true industrial sewing speed to keep output high and cycle times predictable on continuous runs.
  
  

• Medium & Heavy Materials Specification 
  Configured for medium- and heavy-weight materials, making it a better fit where thicker seams, denser fabrics, and higher needle penetration demands are part of daily production.

• Low-Tension Sewing Design for Uniform Stitch Formation
  Optimized for low-tension sewing so stitch formation stays stable as materials change, supporting consistent seam appearance and reducing the need to “chase” tension.

• Throat Plate Marker Grooves for Seam-Allowance Control
  Marker grooves provide a reference at the needle, helping operators hold seam allowance and alignment more consistently on repetitive runs and long topstitching passes.
  

• Eccentric Pin Adjustment for Faster Feed Tuning
  Feed-dog setting via eccentric pin reduces trial-and-error during setup and service when the job depends on correct material movement.
  
  

• Light-Touch Stitch-Length Dial for Quicker Changeovers
  Makes stitch length easier to adjust and easier to repeat, reducing downtime when switching operations and helping keep stitch settings consistent between operators.
  
  

• 13 mm Presser-Foot Lift for Clearance
  Up to 13 mm lift by knee lifter improves clearance for loading or repositioning heavier or layered workpieces without fighting the material.
  
  

• Automatic Lubrication for Stable Running Over Long Shifts
  Specified with automatic lubrication to support continuous operation and help maintain stable performance with less day-to-day maintenance.

How This Improves Your Workflow?

• More Reliable Output on Medium-to-Heavy Work
  A dedicated medium/heavy configuration and high speed help keep production stable on tougher operations, reducing disruptions when materials get denser or assemblies get bulkier.

• More Consistent Seam Quality Across Mixed Runs
  Low-tension sewing design supports uniform stitch formation as styles and materials change, helping reduce quality variation and rework.

• Less Time Lost in Setup, Changeovers, and Tuning
  Eccentric pin for feed-dog adjustment and straightforward stitch-length setting reduce trial-and-error during maintenance and speed up routine operation changes.

• Smoother Handling and Fewer Stops in Continuous Use
  13 mm knee-lifter clearance and seam-allowance guide grooves support faster handling, while automatic lubrication helps keep the head running steadily over long shifts.

Who Benefits Most?

✔ Workwear and uniform manufacturers – utility shirts, heavier uniform trousers, construction seams on dense woven fabrics
✔ Denim production shops – jeans assembly, denim panels, thick join areas on denim garments
✔ Outerwear and heavier woven apparel facilities – jackets in denser wovens, heavier overshirts, thick-twill pants/chinos, pockets and waist areas, facings and seam build-ups
✔ Soft-goods shops – aprons, covers, simple tool pouches, heavier-canvas totes, woven synthetic bags, stitching on structured textile panels
