M-LEC4DSCFY5
Double Knit Electronic Jacquard Machine with Double Needle Selection and 5-Color Auto Stripers (Needle Selection via SS Actuators)
M-LEC4DSCFY5 is a double needle selection model on which the auto-striper was changed from a four color setup like on the conventional M-LEC4DFY4 to a five color setup. Moreover, a stitch cancelling mechanism has been equipped to ensure needles which are selected to the welt position do not draw yarn while passing the stitch portion of the cams. This mechanism better stabilizes the knitting of multi-color patterns which use numerous feeder take-offs.
Main Functions and Characteristics:
- Double side needle selection mechanism.
- Stitch cancelling mechanism (patent pending).
- 5 color striper
- ACT-7 motor-driven automatic take-up
- High-leg specification for large roll take-up devices (optional specification).
- FMC-50 controller
* KNIT SERVER SOFTWARE (option) is a Windows application software for use in a LAN (TCP/IP) environment. PC (Windows7/8/10) HUB and LAN cables are separately required.
- FDS Fukuhara Design System (optional).
- Color LCD touch panel (FCP-60) installed
M-LEC4DCSFY5
This model is based on M-LEC4DFY4.
(A) Stitch Cancel Mechanism In case of current LEC model, Even at tuck & welt position, all needles are stitched and yarn breakage sometimes happened. If 6 color Jacquard fabric (like knit calendar), welt position needles are also stitched at 5 feeder. This stitching action damage yarn. However, this new mechanism can decrease yarn breakage.
(B) 5 color striper instead of 4 color striper
(C) LGL Twin for Electric Jacquard striper machine This is very compact type new model for striper Jacquard machine. At this stage, this feeder needs more practical testing. The price is also high, and will be going down gradually.
“F-type” Auto-Striper Units

OD7-M2XC-A3.2RE
Single Knit Raceway Machine
M2XC-A3.2RE is a single knit raceway machine developed as the successor to the conventional S3.2RE and E3.2RE models. The knitting head, frame, fabric take-up, and top assembly on this Fukuhara flagship model were all newly designed to combine the highest possible knitting performance with user-friendliness.
Machine Functions and Characteristics:
- SF1350 (same for OD frame) high speed operation
- Newly designed “A” cylinder (patent pending).
- Energy savings.
- Excellent convertibility.
- Newly designed MCT-10, OD7 take-up
- FAFS (Fukuhara Air Flow System) cooling and cleaning device (optional).
- Color touch screen operation panel (FCP-60).
- FMA (Fukuhara Mobile monitoring Application) machine information display via WiFi (optional).
Notes of caution:
FMA can only be used on machines fitted with an FCP-60 operation panel FMA can only be used on devices installed with the Android operating system. The FMA is currently not compatible with iOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad. A Wi-Fi connection must be available in the user’s factory in order to use the FMA.
Note 1) precise amount of energy savings can vary greatly depending on fabric construction and stitch density.
Note 2) precise value changes depending on fabric construction, stitch density, et cetera and the maximum value is around 20%.
Note 3) ACT-7 servo motor type take-up is also available as n optional specification.
