PLC-1700 Series
Post-bed, Unison-feed, Lockstitch Machine with Vertical-axis Large Hook
Product features
High-quality stitches which match the car seat designs Soft-to-the-touch stitches help create a relaxed state of mind, as if sitting on a sofa
The alternating vertical movement mechanism prevents irregular stitches
Consistent stitching performance
The PLC-1700 Series machines have substantially been improved in their overall "efficiency of feed. " The machine smoothly handles large and heavy-weight materials with an increased efficiency of feed, thereby producing consistent seams free from irregular stitches (differences in stitch length).
Powerful rectangular-feed mechanism
Dual-tension mechanism
The machine is able to perform sewing with low-count thread under a higher tension, which is difficult for the conventional single-tension method, with ease. The machine comes with a dual-tension thread tension system (two tension posts are used for a single thread).
The machine performs sewing with consistency with a broader range of needle counts up to #0 In addition, it achieves the maximum stitch length of 12mm
Basic performance
The basic performance (specifications) has been dramatically improved
Higher lift of the presser foot
The presser foot lift is as high as 16mm, allowing the user to handle the material with ease.
Simple-setting of the amount of alternating vertical movement
The vertical strokes of the presser foot and walking foot (alternating vertical movement) can be easily changed using a large dial mounted on the top surface of the machine head. In addition the sewing speed is automatically adjusted with the set value. With this feature, ideal sewing conditions are maintained at all times.
Instantaneous change-over device for the alternate vertical movement amount (DL device)
Safety mechanism
Even in a situation such that the thread is caught in the hook, the safety device automatically works to prevent the hook from breaking. Resetting is possible only with a button.
Thread trimming without fail (PLC-1710-7, PLC-1760-7)
