Standard Features:
- Advanced Digital Feed Control: The Juki DDL-8000AS-MS features a precision-engineered digital feed mechanism that ensures smooth, stable feeding of a wide range of materials. While not equipped with the same multi-directional feed control as the DDL-9000C series, the DDL-8000AS-MS still delivers excellent stitch consistency, even at high speeds, making it ideal for medium-weight fabrics in mass production settings.
- Knee Lift Mechanism: Built on the machine head. By hand: 8.5 mm, By knee: 15mm (max.)
- Digital Tension Management: The DDL-8000AS-MS is equipped with an active tension control system. Needle thread tension can be adjusted and saved using the machine's control panel. This function streamlines project setup and ensures consistency between production runs—especially valuable when switching between fabric types or sewing applications.
- Active presser foot pressure mechanism: The digitally controlled presser foot pressure system allows for automatic or manual adjustments based on fabric thickness. This prevents issues such as puckering or skipped stitches and helps maintain clean, uniform seams across multi-layered areas. Users can fine-tune settings for optimal performance, especially when working with varied materials.
- Needle Bar Stroke: 30.7 mm (slightly shorter than DDL-9000C for lighter-duty focus)
- Needle Thread Clamp: The needle thread clamp holds the thread and pulls it under the material at the start of sewing, helping reduce thread tangling on the backside of the fabric. This creates a cleaner area around the needle entry and allows for the use of different gauge components.
- Remaining thread at the end of sewing reduced to 3 mm: The Juki DDL-8000AS-MS uses a double-edge driven rotary knife system to trim the thread, leaving only 3 mm of thread remaining. A grooved cam system ensures the thread trimmer releases even if it gets stuck, while the picker device stabilizes the remaining thread length on the material.
- Digital Control Panel: The 4.3-inch touchscreen digital panel makes setting adjustments simple and intuitive. With JUKI's smart sewing interface, you can quickly access essential functions like stitch count, thread tension, presser foot pressure, and operation history.
- Functions necessary for sewing machine operation can be used with the hand switch: Essential machine operations are easily accessible via hand switches, offering up to 20 customizable functions like reverse stitch, needle up/down, and thread trimming. Functions can be configured via the touchscreen for a more tailored sewing experience.
- Juki DDL-8000AS-MS Semi-Dry Head Type – Clean, High-Speed Sewing with Advanced Dry Technology: Experience sewing with confidence—free from oil stains—thanks to Juki's cutting-edge semi-dry head technology. The DDL-8000AS-MS features a newly developed frame that requires no lubrication in key areas, offering superior cleanliness and performance. Designed for high-speed operation, this model also includes built-in safety measures to prevent oil contamination on fabrics. Needle bar and thread take-up components operate completely without lubrication. Hook section uses standard lubrication methods to ensure reliable stitching performance.
- LED Light: The LED light illuminates the needle entry area from both the right and left sides of the needle bar, providing better visibility compared to single-direction lighting. It offers five adjustable brightness levels and can also serve as an auxiliary lamp for enhanced sewing comfort.
- Thread Range: Up to Tex 70 Bonded Nylon
