JUKI LS-2342S-70B Industrial Cylinder-Bed Single Needle Direct Drive Lockstitch with Auto Thread Trimming (SC-922B Control Box, CP-18C Operation Panel)

JUKI LS-2342S-70B — Cylinder-Bed, 1-Needle, Unison-Feed, Semi-Dry, Direct-Drive Lockstitch with Auto Thread Trimmer for Heavy Materials (SC-922B Control Box, CP-18C Operation Panel) 

Purpose-built for bags, leather goods, and upholstery, the JUKI LS-2342S-70B pairs a slim cylinder bed and true unison feed with a vertical-axis 1.6-fold-capacity hook to sew tight curves and tubular parts cleanly down to about Ø40 mm; high-torque direct-drive head with automatic thread trimming runs up to 2,500 sti/min, while the high, semi-long arm improves access on bulky work for tidy finishes with fewer reworks.

What sets JUKI LS-2342S-70B Apart

• Cylinder Bed with Slim Plate for Small-Diameter Parts
  Slimmed throat plate lets you sew small tubular articles down to about φ40 mm, keeping control on tight curves for bags, leather cases, wallets, and furniture details.
  
  

• High, Semi-Long Arm for Bulky Work
  The extended distance from arm to needle improves handling and placement on large or three-dimensional pieces common in furniture and bags.
  
  
• True Unison-Feed Traction with Consistent Stitch Pitch
  Feed dog, needle, and presser move in sync; the model is tuned to maintain consistent stitching pitch and an outstanding ability to sew sharp curves even across multi-level assemblies.
• Vertical-Axis 1.6-Fold-Capacity Hook
  Large-capacity vertical hook supports longer runs and stable stitch formation in heavy applications.
• Dual Needle-Thread Tension (Standard)
  Factory-equipped double tension stabilizes sewing with thicker thread at higher tensions so stitch tightness stays even through thickness changes.
• High-Torque Direct-Drive Motor
  Direct-drive head optimized for heavy materials improves responsiveness and needle penetration on multi-layer parts.
  
  
• Semi-Dry Head Lubrication
  Semi-dry design minimizes oil around the needle area to reduce staining and keep finishes clean.
• Multi-Functional 6-Switch Pad on the Head
  One-touch one-stitch correction, stitch-length changeover, and needle-thread tension changeover; unused switches can be assigned optional functions.
  
  
• Automatic Thread Trimming
  The head’s auto-trim function removes manual thread cutting between operations, reducing handling and keeping work clean.
  

Included Components

• Control Box SC-922B 
  Energy-saving control box engineered to resist voltage fluctuation, noise, and vibration while cutting standby power without sacrificing performance.
  

• CP-18C Operation Panel
  Production-support modes (output control, operation measuring, bobbin counter) that standardize output and reduce setup time.

How This Improves Your Workflow

• Tighter Control on Curves and Small-Diameter Parts
  Slimmed throat plate and dedicated gauge enable sewing down to about φ40 mm while maintaining consistent stitch pitch on tight radii.

• Higher Throughput with Cleaner Finishes
  Automatic thread trimming and up to 2,500 stitches/min shorten cycles; 20 mm auto presser lift speeds handling of bulky work.

• Power and Penetration on Heavy Stacks
  High-torque direct-drive motor improves responsiveness and needle penetration through multi-layer, heavy materials.

• Stable Quality on Thicker Threads and Step-Ups
  Unison feed with dual needle-thread tension keeps stitch tightness even across thickness changes.
