GKN-2U / GKN-2LU Sewing Machine

The GKN-2U / GKN-2LU Sewing Machine is a machine developed on the basis of the GKN-2HS/GKN-2LHS series. Its catalogue identifies an upper feeding mechanism as a key feature and specifies the machine for sewing thick and smooth materials. The machine uses push-cloth up-and-down feeding and double-thread chain stitching type 401. It provides a 7–12 mm stitching range and reaches a maximum sewing speed of 2800 r/min. The machine uses a DRx2-#25 or #26 needle and an automatic lubrication system. With its upper feeding mechanism and specified material handling characteristics, the GKN-2U/GKN-2LU is suited to industrial sewing applications involving thick and smooth materials where controlled feeding is important.
