About CONSAI TRIMMER MACHINE
In the apparel and textile industry, a
Kansai trimmer machine typically refers to industrial sewing machines from the premium Japanese brand
Kansai Special that feature an automatic thread cutter or an integrated fabric trimmer. These specialized multi-needle chain stitch and cover stitch machines are commonly used in garment manufacturing hubs for processes like attaching elastic bands, waistband stitching, and sleeve hemming. [

The primary configurations of "trimmer" setups available for these industrial machines are detailed below.
Under-Bed Thread Trimming (UTC / UTA Series)
These configurations integrate pneumatic or electronic thread cutters beneath the needle plate to cut threads cleanly at the end of a sewing cycle, drastically reducing material wastage and manual labor. [

- Kansai Special FX-4412P-UTC: A highly popular 12-needle, cylinder bed, double chain stitch machine. It features an automatic pneumatic thread trimmer (UTC) and is primarily engineered for attaching pre-closed elastic bands onto sportswear and underwear. [1]
- Kansai Special NC1103GALK-UTA: A 3-needle, small cylinder bed cover stitch machine featuring an automatic under-bed thread trimmer. Its tight 180 mm circumference bed makes it ideal for handling smaller knitwear items like children's apparel. [1, 2]
- Kansai Special NRE9803GALK-UTA: A high-speed, top and bottom cover stitch cylinder bed machine utilizing a pneumatic thread trimmer to finish bottom hemming operations on shirts and activewear efficiently. [1, 2]
Integrated Fabric Side Trimming (Left/Right Knives)
For applications that require simultaneous sewing and raw-edge cleaning, Kansai machines utilize a built-in mechanical knife edge. [

- Left-Hand Fabric Trimmer: Models like the NR9803GALK feature a trimming knife situated directly to the left of the needle plate. This neatly cuts excess fabric during hemming operations on T-shirt bottoms and sleeves before creating a flexible cover stitch. [1, 2, 3]
- Right-Hand Fabric Trimmer: Found on specialized elastic-attaching series like the NW8803GEMK-E, where a right-side edge-cutter and metering device trim uneven fabric edges just as the elastic tape is applied. [1]
