The Brother Nexio RH-982A-01-2D is a high-speed, electronically controlled eyelet buttonhole machine designed to bring industrial-grade precision and versatility to modern garment production. As part of the Nexio series, this model is specifically engineered for a wide range of materials, from the heavy-duty fabrics used in jeans and workwear to the delicate, high-end materials found in formal suits.
Superior Ease of Operation
The RH-982A-01-2D prioritizes the operator's experience through several thoughtful design features:
-
Intuitive Touch Panel: It features a user-friendly color LCD touch panel that uses illustration icons to guide users through settings. This interface simplifies the process of setting cycle programs, sewing speeds, and stitch lengths.
-
Enhanced Visibility & Space: The machine is built with a deep 120mm arm pocket, providing ample room for smooth material handling, which is especially beneficial for large garments. Standard LED lighting and an optimized arm shape ensure a clear view of the needle area during operation.
-
Reduced Fatigue: Brother has overhauled the internal mechanisms to minimize impact noise and vibration. This creates a quieter, more comfortable work environment that significantly reduces operator fatigue during long shifts.

Effortless Shape Selection
Versatility is a hallmark of this model, particularly in how it handles buttonhole variety:
-
Digital Pattern Selection: Operators can quickly select from a vast library of 31 standard programmable shapes and eyelet sizes directly from the control panel.
-
Customizable Parameters: Beyond presets, the machine allows for the fine-tuning of buttonhole length (up to 42mm), stitch density, and zigzag width through a simple push-button recall system.
-
Precision Cutting: The -01-2D sub-model is equipped with an air-cylinder-driven hammer that ensures stable and accurate cutting across diverse materials. It also offers "cut before" and "cut after" options that can be toggled instantly, ensuring the perfect finish for any garment style.
Large Arm Pocket for Easy Handling
The 120mm deep arm pocket provides ample space for material handling, making it ideal for vertical buttonholes and pocket sewing. The ergonomic design ensures better visibility of the needle area for precise operation.

Precision Buttonhole Finishing
The highly rigid feed mechanism with servo control ensures accurate stitch placement without feed drifting, even at high speeds. Enhanced looper design and optimized thread control reduce skipped stitches and maintain consistent tension across different materials.

Low Noise & Reduced Vibration
Engineered for quieter operation, the machine minimizes vibration and noise, creating a more comfortable working environment and reducing operator fatigue.
Semi-Submerged Installation Option
Supports semi-submerged installation for improved ergonomics and workflow efficiency in industrial environments.
