UYX128GAS-NY2 #100|16| 040 Coverhem Needles (Titanium) 10PK
The UYx128GAS NY2 is a high-performance version of the standard coverstitch needle system, specifically engineered by Organ Needles to prevent skipped stitches and needle breakage during high-speed industrial sewing.
Key Features of the NY2 Series
The "NY2" designation indicates several structural enhancements over the standard UYx128GAS system:
Tapered Blade Design: Instead of a standard double-swaged blade, the NY2 features a long tapered blade that increases needle strength by 30%. This design dramatically reduces needle flexibility and vibration, which are primary causes of skipped stitches at high speeds.
"Cliff Scarf": A long, deep scarf designed to facilitate more reliable thread loop pickup by the looper or hook, even as sewing speeds increase or when using diverse thread types.
Slim Needle Point: The point has an acute shape with a slimmer profile. This reduces penetration resistance and minimizes needle deflection, especially when sewing through thick or hard materials.
Optimal Needle Eye: The eye is shaped to act as an ideal thread guide, ensuring proper spacing and smooth feeding of the thread to the stitch.
