The JUKI DDL-8700 is a cornerstone of industrial sewing excellence, blending speed, precision, and durability to meet the rigorous demands of apparel production. As a flagship model in JUKI’s 1-needle lockstitch series, this machine delivers consistent, high-quality seams on light to medium-weight fabrics. Designed with advanced engineering and operator comfort in mind, the DDL-8700 is the ultimate tool for manufacturers seeking to elevate productivity and craftsmanship.
Superior Balance and Rigidity
Crafted with state-of-the-art 3D-CAD technology, the DDL-8700 features a machine head with exceptional balance and rigidity. This design reduces vibration and noise to minimal levels, ensuring a quiet, comfortable workspace even during high-speed operation.
High-Speed Efficiency
Achieve remarkable productivity with a maximum sewing speed of 5,500 stitches per minute (sti/min) for standard applications or 4,000 sti/min for longer stitch lengths (5 mm). The DDL-8700’s robust performance keeps your production line moving without sacrificing seam quality.
Versatile Material Handling
With a spacious 10.5-inch (263 mm) distance from the machine arm to the needle, the DDL-8700 offers ample room to maneuver fabrics effortlessly. Its 36 mm needle bar stroke and adjustable presser foot lift (up to 13 mm by knee, 5.5 mm by hand) ensure smooth handling of various material thicknesses.
Precision Stitching
The DDL-8700 provides a maximum stitch length of 5 mm, adjustable via a dial, for tailored seam control. Paired with its low-tension sewing capability, this machine adapts to diverse fabrics, delivering beautiful, even stitches every time.
Operator-Friendly Design
Built for reliability and ease of use, the DDL-8700 inherits JUKI’s legacy of intuitive lockstitch machines. Its ergonomic layout and straightforward controls minimize operator fatigue, making it ideal for long shifts and high-output environments.
Customizable with Attachments
Featuring a standard attachment mounting seat, the DDL-8700 supports a wide range of optional attachments. Built to withstand frequent customization, this machine adapts to specialized sewing tasks, offering lasting versatility.
Durable Components
Equipped with a DB x 1 needle (#14 recommended, ranging from #9 to #18 depending on material), the DDL-8700 ensures consistent performance. Its 25.4 mm hook-to-needle distance and 114.3 mm bed-to-needle clearance provide stability and precision during operation.
The optimum-balance and highly rigid machine head were created using the latest 3D-CAD design technology. Thanks to its low vibration and low noise feature, the machine head provides the operator with a comfortable work environment. In addition, the distance from the machine arm to the needle on the front of the machine head is sufficiently wide to allow easy handling of the sewing material.
The machine inherits the desirable features, such as high-speed stitching performance 5,000sti/min, extreme stitching performance, ease of operation, and reliability, from the highly evaluated previous JUKI lockstitch machines. (DDL-8700: 5,000 sti/min.)
By thoroughly investigating and modifying the sewing mechanisms in order to achieve low-tension sewing, the machine flexibly responds to various kinds of materials and produces beautiful seams of consistent quality.
The machine is provided as standard with extra attachment mounting seats for attachment of new auxiliary parts in the future. The extremely high durability of the seats ensures an extended service with frequent replacement of attachments..
By providing a presser foot with a higher lift (13mm), a light-touch stitch dial, a throat plate with marker grooves that can be used as guide for seam allowance, and other easy-to-operate functions, the burden on the operator is lightened, and productivity is further increased.
Thanks to the speed control feature, most users find the machine easier to use. Both beginner and advanced sewers find this feature helpful when stitching projects that require high-speed and precise stitching.
