JUKI LU-1565 Industrial 2-Needle Walking Foot Sewing Machine is a heavy-material flat-bed lockstitch machine designed for professional production requiring two parallel rows of strong, consistent stitching.
Its defining feature is JUKI's organized split needle-bar system, which distinguishes the LU-1565 from standard fixed double-needle walking-foot machines. The split-bar configuration permits selective needle operation, providing substantially greater control when sewing corners and angular sections on products requiring parallel decorative or structural seams.
The LU-1565 employs unison/compound feeding, coordinating the walking presser foot, needle movement and lower feed mechanism to move multiple material layers together. This configuration helps minimize layer shifting and uneven stitch pitch when working with upholstery fabrics, leather, vinyl and other difficult-to-feed materials.
The later LU-1565N, which JUKI continues to document in its current LU-1500N family, preserves this basic concept. JUKI classifies the series for heavy-weight applications and highlights its rectangular feed motion, large-capacity hook and ability to produce stable seams on multilayer materials.
