Machine Highlights

Excellent Thread Control for Every Fabric

The KE-430HS provides optimized thread take-up for light, medium, and heavy fabrics. Improved thread tension ensures stable stitching quality while reducing thread breakage and skipped stitches.

Short Remaining Thread Technology

The stepping motor-driven thread trimmer cuts threads shorter, quieter, and more accurately than conventional mechanical systems. This significantly reduces manual trimming after sewing, increasing production efficiency.

User-Friendly Colour LCD Touch Panel

The full-colour LCD touch screen uses intuitive icons, making machine operation simple and efficient. Operators can easily create cycle programs, adjust sewing speed, modify stitch sizes, control thread tension, and save frequently used settings as user programs.

Low Noise and Reduced Vibration

The direct drive mechanism and optimized thread trimming system significantly reduce operating noise and vibration, providing a more comfortable working environment while improving sewing consistency.

Expandable Sewing Area

With the optional sewing frame, the sewing area increases from 40 × 30 mm to 50 × 40 mm, enabling more applications including hook-and-loop fasteners, labels, and appliqué work.

• Create custom sewing patterns using a PC.
