artisan® will introduce into our line of cutting machines, a New dual direct drive servo motors skiving machine. It will be available in 2024.

The New NP-4 D2 has two direct drive servo motors. The first motor will spin the bell knife at high speed, up to 3500 RPM for sharp clean slicing. The second motor will run the feed stone at variable speed (100-400 RPM) for controllable feeding for precise skiving of the leather or synthetic materials. The two direct drive servo motors control box will let you regulate and set the preferred optimal operating speed for both motors separately. There are toggle switches to stop (not run) each motor or set each one to run continuously and the feed motor can be set to operate by pedal. There are dial knobs to regulate the motor speed. The advantages of a two motors skiver over a single motor one is better controllability with cleaner sharper cuts. Being able to feed the material slowly, either by varying pressure with the foot pedal or setting the continuous feed will let you better maneuver around corners or handle smaller round curvy objects. Having the bell knife spinning at high speed will slice the slow feeding material cleaner, sharper, and with more precise control.

Give artisan® a call if you have more questions or to inquire about pricing.

The latest iteration to the artisan® servo motor line is the introduction of the ACF-628 750 watt, 1.0 HP electronic servo motor designed for very heavy sewing machinery applications. The new artisan® model ACF-628 is absolutely the best economical sewing machine motor available today for sewing slow and controllably.

We have a new medium duty Cylinder bed compound needle feed, walking foot machine with reverse called a 335 B. The machine is designed for stitching light weight to medium weight leather and canvas fabric projects. The new 335 B is a big bobbin sewing machine with forward and reverse feeding designed for stitching handbags, purses, messenger bags, belts, mobile phone cases and smaller type three dimensional projects with either nylon or poly threads from size z-33 up to z-138. The machine sews from light weight leather and fabrics up to about 3/8" total thickness of medium weight seams. The cylinder bed machine is compatible with a Pfaff model 335-6 and most all of the spare parts are interchangeable.
Check out the new artisan® 335 B. We think that this high quality stitcher may fit your budget and your needs.

Another new model added to our full line of quality stitchers is a new style single needle sewing machine.
The artisan® model ZJ 9503 B/01 is designed to control sewing speeds from very slow operation up to high speed sewing in production sewing shops, drapery work rooms, tailors shops, with dressmakers, seamstresses, dry cleaners and alteration shops. Even home sewers will appreciate the new ZJ 9503's fully complete sewing machine system.
The system includes a new style Direct Drive Sewing Machine with a Needle Positioner Servo Motor built into the sewing machine head. This system eliminates the need for a v-belt driving the sewing machine from the undertable mounted motor. The ZJ 9503 is just one of our new style Single Needle Lockstitch Sewing Machines including Automatic Lubrication and a Reverse Feed Mechanism too. Major new features include the speed programmable built-in direct drive, 110 volt digital electronic needle positioner motor enabling the motor to stop the sewing machine with either the needle in the down position or in the needle up position. The old style v-belt drive system is eliminated. A Large Dial stitch length regulator and a large reverse lever handle for back tacking is standard. The new economical artisan® sewing machine may be the smoothest and quietest lockstitch on the market. Our new motor is digitally programmable and one is able to easily adjust the ceiling or top end speed of the machine from super slow, crawling, up to very high production sewing speed. This 9503 runs very well and creates a beautiful stitch formation at the slowest operating speeds up to very high performance levels with extremely low vibration and almost no noise. One may adjust the machine for sewing from light weight knits and sheers to medium heavy woven's and light weight apparel leathers including topstitching boot uppers.

A third new product we are introducing is our new Rivet, Grommet, Spot and Button Covering Machine. The new artisan® model A-03-100 is a Pneumatic operated setter with three different heads fixed on an operator changeable turret. One can mount three different size dies for setting different spots, rivets, or grommets on the same one machine. Please telephone artisan® for additional information about the A-03 series or about any artisan® product.
