Core Specifications
- Machine Type: 2-Needle, Flat-Bed Lockstitch
- Feeding Mechanism: Needle-feed (ensures uniform material feed and prevents fabric slippage)
- Max Speed: Up to 3,400 RPM (depending on the exact sub-model)
- Standard Gauge Size: Common sizes include 1/4" and 3/8"
- Stitch Length: Adjustable up to 5mm [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Key Features of the Series
- Organized Split Needle Bars: Select models (like the LH-3168) allow the operator to stop either the left or right needle independently. This makes it highly efficient for corner stitching and sharp turns. [1, 2]
- Renovated Thread Path: Designed to maintain consistent thread tension, minimizing common issues like seam puckering, stitch skipping, and thread breakage. [1]
- Industrial Durability: Tailored to stitch two perfect, parallel rows simultaneously on both light and heavy textiles. [1, 2]
