Brand New JUKI LU 1508 Walking Foot Sewing Machine

1-needle, Unison-feed, Lockstitch machine with Vertical-axis Large Hook

The Juki LU-1508NS is a single-needle, straight stitch, walking foot industrial sewing machine that can sew heavy weight fabrics. It has a rectangular feed and a higher needle stroke that makes it easy to sew heavier materials like leather. The top-loading bobbin system and vertical-axis hook are ideal for sewing extra-heavy material. It has a maximum sewing speed of 2,500 stitches per minute and a maximum stitch length of 9mm. It also has a needle bar stroke of 38mm and a presser foot lift of 16mm.

Our machine will come complete with brand new head from Juki. Brand new table tops and stand which comes with wheels make it easy to move.

We can ship the machine to you. Please contact us for shipping information before you place an order.

The basic machine and its outstanding response to the sewing of heavy materials.

JUKI’s unique feed mechanism promises excellent efficiency of feed. In addition to the standard models of 1-needle and 2-needle machines, other models intended for special purposes are available, including models for extra heavy materials and one having a thread trimmer. The machine is applicable to an extended range of heavy materials for industrial use, such as cargo handling belts and containers, as well as those for general use, such as car seats, sofas and bags, thereby contributing to both improved quality and increased productivity.

The alternating vertical movement mechanism prevents irregular stitches

The machine has adopted a new mechanism that does not change the ratio of alternate vertical movement of the walking foot and presser foot even when the material thickness changes. Even when a heavy-weight material is used, the presser foot lift does not decrease. This means that the presser foot comes into contact with the material at exactly the same time that it does when sewing lighter-weight sections of the material. As a result, the walking foot retains the material with a consistent pressure to prevent irregular stitches. The amount of the alternating vertical movement of the walking foot and presser foot can be adjusted up to the maximum of 6.5mm according to the height of multilayered portions of material.

Consistent seam quality

With the adoption of a new rectangular feed mechanism, an alternating vertical movement mechanism, and a unison feed mechanism, the machine can feed heavy materials powerfully and smoothly. Well tensed seams are consistently produced without pitch errors. With its maximum stitch length of 9mm, the machine can be applied to a broader range of uses.

The machine comes with a dual-tension mechanism

The 1-needle type machine has adopted a dual-tension mechanism, with which the machine can support high-tension sewing with thick thread. This means that the machine produces seams of excellent quality on a broader range of materials, extending from light- to heavy-weight.

The highly efficient vertical-axis double-capacity hook is equipped as standard

With the adoption of this vertical-axis double capacity hook, the frequency of bobbin thread changing is reduced, promising sewing work of increased efficiency.
