JUKI DDL-8700-7 Single Needle Lockstitch Industrial Sewing Machine with Automatic Thread Trimmer, AK-85 Automatic Foot Lifter & CP-180A Programmable Control Panel — SC-920C Control Box, Compact M92 Servo Motor — Complete Setup, Table & Stand Included

The JUKI DDL-8700-7 is the semi-automatic evolution of JUKI's global-benchmark single-needle lockstitch platform — the machine every apparel factory worldwide already knows and trusts, upgraded with a full package of production automation: automatic thread trimmer, automatic backtack, automatic reverse, needle positioner, AK-85 automatic foot lifter, and the CP-180A programmable production-support control panel. Built for medium-weight apparel — shirts, blouses, dresses, pants, uniforms, workwear, and general garment construction — the DDL-8700-7 delivers up to 5,000 sti/min with the reliability and finish quality that made the DDL-8700 the world's most-installed lockstitch platform.

This configuration ships with JUKI's latest SC-920C control box and compact M92 servo motor — an integrated drive system engineered for energy efficiency, resistance to voltage fluctuations, and reduced power consumption during standby (approximately 25% savings vs the previous SC-910N control box). The CP-180A operation panel adds production management functions directly on the machine: target vs actual output tracking, sewing machine availability metrics, pitch time, average stitching speed, and bobbin counter — all of the data a supervisor needs to run a production line, without leaving the workstation.

The AK-85 automatic foot lifter raises the presser foot automatically at end-of-seam and pedal release — removing the knee-lift step from every seam and cutting operator fatigue on high-volume runs. Combined with the automatic thread trimmer and backtack, the operator focuses only on handling the fabric while the machine takes care of every seam ending automatically. Complete with industrial table, stand, and all standard accessories.
