Computerized Direct Drive Motor

HIKARI designed, and patented the world’s first direct drive overlock in 2007. The use of the maintenance free direct drive motor offers 14,6 % higher efficiency, and 66 - 71,5% less power consumption compared to clutch motor equipped machines. HIKARI is the leading sewing machine manufacturer in the field of innovation with a biggest experience in direct drive technology,  which makes bigger profit in your production site. 
Reduced need for maintenance

The direct drive motors does not require any maintenance. In Europe it’s one of the major priorities, because savings on the operation and the maintenance costs gives higher extra profit, or free sources to distribute on the market.

Reduced energy consumption

Compared to the clutch motors the direct-drive sewing machines saves up to 66 - 71,5% on electricity bills in every shift depending on the application.

Reduced noise level

The main purpose is to improve the working conditions of the operators, to obtain a win-win situation.  If the sewing machine “loads” less on the operator, they are more relaxed in the last 2-3 working hours, so the productivity’s will not decrease as much as with a louder machine, and the produced waste will be less as well.

The power saving technology of HIKARI

In the last few years, there was an exponential growth at the area of industrial sewing machines compared to the past 20 years.  

In 2006 HIKARI made it’s first direct drive single needle lockstitch machine the H8800A. Today the 4th generation the H8800D is on sale, with built in the head control box.

In 2007, the world first direct drive overlock had been released, and now the 3rd generation is on sale, which is the HX6800TA.

HIKARI ® is the leading sewing machine manufacturer in the field of innovation with a biggest experience in direct drive technology,  which makes bigger profit in your production site.

The Engineers of HIKARI developed their patented ideas in co-operation with one of the Universities in Shanghai.

Productivity Growth

The direct drive sewing machines does not have transmission loss like the clutch motor machines. (The belt-drive sewing machine with servo motor has the same transmission loss as well. The increase of the production is about 14,6%. The belt-drive sewing machine sews 1000 meters. Under the same circumstances, the direct-drive sewing machine sews 1146 meters- in every shift. 

With one investment, from the beginning, the direct drive motor equipped sewing machines produces extra profit!
