With an energy-saving and maintenance-free direct sewing drive integrated in the machine head the new generation of high speed sewing machines 281 sets new standards. The “Semi-Dry-Head” (with minimum lubrication of the needle bar and hook lubrication) avoids stains on the workpieces and guarantees quiet running and durability.

The Premium design laid out according to ergonomic aspects with handily placed function keys, as e.g. the push button for manual backtacking, improves the handling in case of difficult sewing operations. The handwheel for adjusting the sewing foot pressure allows a quick and reproducible adaptation to various materials.

Apart from the thread nipper for a neat seam beginning, the thread trimmer and the automatic backtacking the basic equipment of the 281 also includes the motor control panel as well as a sewing equipment for light-weight to mediumweight material. The machine is also equipped with an electromagnetic sewing foot lift .

The high-performance technology, the excellent seam quality and the manifold fields of application make the 281 a universal operating means with high flexibility of use on all sectors of the garment industry.
