173-141610
Single needle double chainstitch machine with bottom feed, intermitted working puller feed and DAC eco+ control; without thread trimmer, suitable for light to medium weight fabrics
173 – Your advantages:
Feed length of the top puller feed is adjustable by setting wheel
The top puller feed with up to 6.000 stitches/min. runs constantly and works effective extremely close behind the needle.
The top puller feed can be swiveled upwards – unrestricted clearance like class 171.

Single needle double chainstitch machine with bottom feed, intermitted working puller feed, electro-pneumatic thread trimmer, foot lifting, stitch condensing and DAC classic control in combination with panel OP1000, suitable for light to medium weight fabrics
Top puller feed can be swiveled upwards – unrestricted clearance like class 17
The puller feed allows by its small distance from the roller to the needle, a perfect seam quality for smooth seams. For seams, in which do not require puller feed, the puller is swivellable and allows a usable clearance as with the 171
Optimum stitch formation due to automatic adaption of the looper thread quantity - tight but elastic seams
Automatic functions like thread trimmer, foot lifting and stitch condensing (depending on the subclass)
