Product Specifications

Key Features

1. High-Speed & Versatile Stitching

The machine is equipped with a stepping motor-controlled feed mechanism, enabling continuous sewing at high speeds . It comes standard with 14 different types of stitching patterns grouped into 20 variations, including straight stitch, standard zigzag, 2-step zigzag, 3-step zigzag, scallop, blind stitch, T-shape stitching, and covering stitches . This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from sewing labels and topstitching welt pockets on men's garments to decorative stitching on ladies' jackets and blouses .

2. Advanced Operation Panel (IT-100)

The newly developed IT-100 operation panel features a liquid crystal display (LCD) that shows stitch shapes, zigzag width, and baseline settings all on one screen using pictographs for easy operation . Operators can easily select stitch patterns, adjust zigzag width and needle throw position, and set up program stitching, cycle sewing, and continuous sewing directly from the panel . Custom pattern data can be stored and shared via USB memory .

3. Newly Developed Machine Head with Long Arm

The LZ-2290A features a new, more rigid, and well-balanced machine head with a long arm that is one size larger than conventional models . This design provides:

• Wider space under the arm for easier handling of larger materials.

• Improved visibility of the needle area.

• Reduced noise and vibration due to the direct-drive system and robust frame, helping to reduce operator fatigue .

4. Reliable Thread Trimming Mechanism

The machine employs a knife-sliding method for the thread trimmer, which guarantees a clean cut regardless of the needle throw position . The knife unit is conveniently installed under the bed slide for easier maintenance .

5. Model Variations & Specialized Options

The LZ-2290A series is available in several subclasses to meet specific needs:

• Minute-quantity Lubrication Type (-SS, -SU): Provides lubrication to the hook and needle bar with minimal oil, reducing the risk of oil stains on products .

• Dry-head Type (-DS, -DU): Eliminates the need for regular oiling and completely prevents oil stains on sewing products .

• Anti-material Slip Capability (-U): Equipped with a micro-lifter to help prevent material slippage or damage, especially when using elastic materials .

• Bird's Nest Prevention Type (-CB): An optional specification that prevents thread tangling (bird's nests) on the underside of the material at the start of sewing, resulting in high-quality seams and eliminating the need to trim thread ends afterward .
