The GC0388-D is the
latest model in the Highlead range to be introduced in to the UK for
sewing of heavy materials.
It features a top feed walking foot and
bottom feed system that is suitable to sew medium & heavy weight materials
such as leather, synthetics, canvas, plastics, webbing, upholstery,
tarpaulin + heavier than normal standard fabrics.
The sewing arm is higher & longer than
most standard machines: allowing additional sewing clearance for larger
heavy items.
The balanced sewing machine head benefits from automatic lubrication to
reduce wear & tear, resulting in improved durability, lower noise levels,
smoother running and minimal maintenance costs.
The machine is equipped with a automatic thread trimmer
which is mounted under the needle plate for quick & accurate cutting of
thread at the end of a sewing cycle. This saves considerable time when
compared with manual cutting of threads using scissors etc. The
thread trimmer is electronically controlled and uses electric impulse
solenoids to move the cutting knives.
The position of the needle is controlled by an
electronic needle position motor & controller. This will
automatically put the needle in an UP or DOWN position at the end of a
sewing cycle: reducing the need to use the manual hand wheel.
The fitting of a large hook & base as standard, reduces
the number of bobbin changes and helps when using the thicker threads
associated with heavier materials. A large stitch length is available up
to 8mm.
The Highlead GC0388-D is a feature packed heavy duty machine and as well as
the Higher/longer arm and
automatic thread trimming, it comes as standard with programmable auto
back-tack, auto reverse, knuckle quick reverse and
built in stitch program module.
It is fitted with the latest quiet & energy efficient
electronically controlled heavy duty motor, which only runs when you are actually
sewing; If you pause or stop: the motor stops immediately and is almost
silent.
The GC0388-D is a
general purpose walking foot machine with thread trimmer, for use on medium to heavy
weight materials and is suited to sewing, for example, car seats, general leather articles, belts, canvas, tents,
awnings, handbags, outdoor wear, camping goods etc.
