AMS-221F Series

Computer-controlled Cycle Machine with Input Function

Inspire the Knowledge in Sewing Adjustment

Epoch-making Sewing Systems in history

JUKI ECO PRODUCTS The AMS-221F is an eco-friendly product which complies with JUKI ECO PRODUCTS standards for protecting the environment.

The sewing machine complies with the "Juki Group Green Procurement Guidelines" on the use of hazardous substances,
which is stricter than other restrictions, such as those of the RoHS Directive.
For details of JUKI ECO PRODUCTS, refer to: http://www.juki.co.jp/eco_e/index.html
The RoHS Directive is an EU Directive limiting the use of 6 hazardous substances (lead, hexavalent chromium, mercury, cadmium, PBB and PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment.
The Juki Green Procurement Guideline is the voluntarily established criteria to eliminate not only the aforementioned six substances, but also other ones which also adversely affect the environment.
Registered Organization : Head Office
The Scope of the Registration : The activities of research,
development, design, sales, distribution, and maintenance
services of industrial sewing machines, household sewing
machines and industrial robots, etc., including sales and
maintenance services of data entry systems.

enable fine adjustment of the thread tension in the actual area of use. Not only the
thread tension during sewing can be changed at a pin point but also it can be set in
accordance with the material thickness. In addition, the needle thread tension that
is likely to vary with the sewing direction can also be corrected. All of these

with ease. Since the needle thread tensions adjusted in accordance with various
sewing conditions are reproducible, setup changing time is reduced at the time of
changeover of processes.

Two different types of feeding frames

The feeding frame comes in two types; one is the
monolithic feeding frame and the other is the
separately-driven feeding frame (consisting of
separate right and left parts). Since the right and left
parts of separately-driven feeding frame can be
operated independently, easier placement of the
material under the feeding frame is promised. The
