New-Tech GC-18E  

is a specialized single-needle over-edge machine designed specifically for the seamless joining of fabric ends. Often referred to as a "butt-seamer" or "piece-end" joiner, this machine is essential in textile dyeing, finishing, and printing plants. It creates a flat, durable over-edge stitch that allows continuous fabric processing through rollers and machinery without bulky seams that could cause jams or damage. Equipped with a modern Servo Motor, it provides the high-torque, quiet operation necessary for industrial environments. 

  • Specialized Over-Edge Stitch: Engineered to join two pieces of fabric with a low-profile edge stitch, ensuring a smooth transition during continuous textile processing. 
  • Heavy-Duty Feeding: Designed to handle a wide range of materials, from lightweight knits to heavy woven textiles, without slipping. 
  • High-Speed Efficiency: Built for rapid operation to keep up with the demands of high-volume textile finishing lines. 
  • Adjustable Speed Servo Motor: The included electronic motor provides silent operation and precise speed control, allowing the operator to manage difficult fabric starts with ease. 
  • Industrial-Grade Durability: Features a rugged cast-iron head and a reinforced table stand to withstand the 24/7 demands of a production facility. 
  • Simplified Maintenance: The open-frame design allows for quick cleaning and easy access to oiling points, minimizing downtime. 
  • Stitch Type: Single-Needle Over-Edge (Butt-Seam) 
  • Max. Sewing Speed: 2,500 – 3,000 Stitches per Minute (SPM) 
  • Stitch Width: 10mm – 15mm (Adjustable) 
  • Max. Material Thickness: 5mm 
  • Needle System: Specialized Industrial Needle (Refer to manual for specific gauge) 
  • Motor Type: 550W High-Torque Servo Motor (110V) 
  • Lubrication: Manual with centralized oiling points 
  • Table Type: Full-size industrial wood top with heavy-duty K-leg stand 

The GC-18E is the primary tool for textile preparation and finishing: 

  • Dyeing & Finishing: Joining fabric rolls for continuous passage through dyeing vats and drying ranges. 
  • Textile Printing: Preparing long "runs" of fabric for screen or digital printing machines. 
  • Fabric Inspection: Connecting remnants or rolls for high-speed inspection processes. 
  • Laundry & Processing: Used in industrial-scale laundry facilities for mending and joining large textiles. 

U.S. WARRANTY:

90 Days labor on defects in materials and workmanship.

JUKI DDL-8700 FAQs

What kind of needles do you use in the DDL-8700?

The needles with your JUKI are the Organ DBx1, available on our website. This machine uses size 16×257, size 8 through 20 or 16×97. The 8700 can also use standard needles, sizes 9 through 21, universal or fabric-specific needles such as knit.

Where does the machine oil go?

A pan directly underneath the machine supplies oil to the machine with a cotton wick. Lift the machine up and over to access the oil tank while on the table. You must keep the machine’s oil level consistently at the «high» mark, either by adding more oil or draining it and refilling it as needed. If the oil pump can’t get the oil into the machine, it can cause serious problems later.

What kind of oil does this machine require?

You need a specific type, like motor oil in your car, to keep this machine running. The DDL-8700 requires JUKI New Defrix Oil No.1, equivalent to ISO VG7.

What size table can I get with this machine?

Our table has legs and is 22"w x 47"l. It includes a knee and foot pedals and a left-hand drawer for accessories.

Does the DDL 8700 make buttonholes?

No. The 8700 only does straight stitching, with a horizontal bar on the right side for a reverse stitch.
