Product features
The machine speedily finishes a wider sewing area. It substantially reduces the cycle time.
The cycle machine, which has a wider sewing area, achieves an improved seam quality, increased productivity and easier operation

Applications
The machine performs various kinds of stitching, making the most out of its wider sewing area in various sewing applications such as attaching handles to bags and pouches, attaching belts, sewing many small parts at a time, attaching parts to shoes and sports shoes (one pair of shoes) and sewing air bags.

Basic performance
Power consumption is substantially reduced

Higher productivity

Sewing quality leap forward
The position of the feed can be checked during sewing by means of the encoder-controlled X-Y drive stepping motor. This remarkably improves accuracy of the feed. As a result, deformation of a sewing pattern which is likely to occur when sewing at a high speed or sewing a heavy-weight material is significantly reduced.
Semi-dry head

Active tension
Market-proven active tension has been introduced to the needle thread tension controller. With the active tension, pinpoint changes in the needle thread tension during sewing are enabled. The needle thread tension, therefore, can be set in conjunction with the material thickness and can be corrected according to the direction of sewing on a stitch-by-stitch basis through the operation panel. Since the needle thread tension is reproducible, supporting a broader range of sewing conditions, the time required for setup changing upon process changeover can be reduced.

Programmable intermediate presser
With the programmable intermediate presser, the height of the lower dead point of the intermediate presser can be set according to the material thickness, thereby not only preventing troubles in sewing such as stitch skipping and thread breakage, but also protecting the sewing product from being damaged by the presser. The height setting can be changed with ease even during sewing. The machine finishes beautiful uniform seams free from stitch skipping even on multiple parts of the material by the ideal combination of the active tension and programmable intermediate presser.


Sewing data created with the IP-420 can be stored in the memory of the main body of the sewing machine. The memory storage capacity is 500,000 stitches and 999 patterns (max. 50,000 stitches per pattern) at the maximum. In addition to the CompactFlash 33 card, the main body of the sewing machine is provided as standard with a USB connector. Now, data can be input/output to/from various kinds of media (FD (floppy disks), SM (SmartMedia), CF (CompactFlash), SD (Secure Digital Card) etc.) by means of a USB thumb device and a card reader. The maximum number of stitches that can be stored in the memory for each medium is approximately 50,000,000.

Hand pulley
With the hand pulley which is laid out on the machine arm, not only the height of the needle bar or intermediate presser but also the needle entry point at the time of data programming can be adjusted with ease

Feeding frame
The feeding frame lift is 30mm at the maximum. This enables easy setting of a heavy-weight material on the machine.

The mechanical valve goes up and comes down corresponding to the depressed depth of the pedal. This enables easy positioning of a part to be sewn.

Hook driving shaft pulley
A pulley is also provided on the lower part of the machine. This enables easy adjustment of the hook.
