Description

Product Overview

The HighTex ASM911 brings programmable automation to manufacturers who need to improve production efficiency without moving immediately into the highest-priced automatic sewing systems.

Designed for heavy-duty applications, the ASM911 combines a robust sewing mechanism with modern electronic controls and production-oriented features. Its 1000W motor provides substantial torque even at low speeds, helping generate the needle penetration required for stiff webbing and heavy synthetic materials.

The machine is particularly well suited to height safety harnesses, cargo lashing belts, heavy-duty webbing straps and similar industrial products.

A major advantage is its three-times-capacity full-rotary hook, which provides substantially greater bobbin capacity than a conventional hook. This allows the machine to run thick thread up to Metric #10 / T-270 / V277 / 840d×3 while reducing the frequency of bobbin changes.

The ASM911 also incorporates several features normally associated with more sophisticated programmable production equipment, including touchscreen controls, barcode pattern selection, quick-change clamps, programmable cycle sewing and presser-foot control.

Key Features

Affordable Heavy-Duty Automation

The ASM911 is designed to provide an accessible route into automatic programmable pattern sewing.

Its lower investment level compared with larger specialized automation systems makes it suitable for manufacturers that need programmable production capabilities while maintaining control over equipment costs.

---

Powerful 1000W Motor

The ASM911 uses a 1000W motor designed to deliver strong torque, including at slower sewing speeds.

This supports the machine’s ability to penetrate stiff webbing and other heavy-duty materials while maintaining controlled sewing operation.

---

Three-Times-Capacity Rotary Hook

The machine comes standard with a full-rotary hook with three-times bobbin capacity.

The larger bobbin capacity is particularly useful when working with thick synthetic thread because it allows longer sewing periods between bobbin changes.

Maximum specified thread size:

Metric #10 / T-270 / V277 / 840d×3

---

Automatic Thread Trimmer

The integrated thread trimmer is designed for reliable cutting during automated production cycles.

This reduces manual thread finishing and helps keep repetitive production operations moving efficiently.

---

Touchscreen Operation

The ASM911 features a convenient touchscreen operation panel from which operators can:

• Select sewing patterns
• Change sewing speed
• Set the bobbin thread counter
• Store cycle sewing programs
• Select from 15 languages
• Manage machine operating functions

This provides a straightforward interface for operators working with multiple programmed sewing patterns.

---

Up to 2,000 Sewing Patterns

The machine can store up to 2,000 patterns, allowing manufacturers to maintain a library of different production programs.

This is useful for businesses producing multiple harness, strap, belt or webbing configurations.

---

Quick-Change Sewing Clamps

The quick-exchange clamp system allows one clamp to be prepared while another is being sewn.

This creates an overlapping workflow:

Machine sewing → operator prepares second clamp → cycle finishes → clamp is exchanged → next cycle begins

This can reduce idle time between sewing cycles and improve overall machine utilization.

---

Presser-Foot Control Mechanism

The presser-foot control system automatically responds to changes in material thickness to help maintain consistent thread tension.

The stepping presser-foot height can be adjusted according to the material thickness without requiring tools, helping simplify setup when working with different webbing configurations.

---

Hold-First-Stitch Function

The ASM911 includes a hold-first-stitch function designed to secure the thread at the beginning of the sewing cycle.

This helps reduce thread tangling and bird nesting at the start of the seam, contributing to cleaner stitch beginnings and less manual thread cleanup.

---

Barcode Pattern Recognition

An optional barcode reader can identify tooling and automatically select the corresponding sewing pattern.

This can help reduce operator errors when switching between different production patterns and is particularly useful in production environments handling multiple product configurations.

---

Optional Thread-Break Detection

An integrated thread-break sensor is available as an option.

When thread breakage is detected, the system can stop the sewing cycle to help prevent defective or wasted workpieces.

---

Wi-Fi Connectivity

The supplied product information also identifies a Wi-Fi device as part of the ASM911’s available technology package, adding another modern connectivity feature to the programmable sewing platform.

---

Applications

The HighTex ASM911 is particularly suited for:

• Safety harnesses
• Cargo lashing belts
• Heavy-duty webbing straps
• Industrial belts
• Safety straps
• Reinforced textile components
• Heavy synthetic webbing
• Heavy-duty pattern sewing
• Repetitive industrial sewing applications

Technical Specifications

Designed for Heavy Webbing

The ASM911 is particularly effective when sewing stiff webbing with thick synthetic thread.

Its long needle-bar stroke, powerful motor and three-times-capacity hook provide the mechanical capability needed for demanding webbing applications.

The supplied product information specifically identifies its ability to sew approximately 7mm stiff webbing using thread up to Metric #10 / V277 / 840d×3.

This makes the ASM911 a practical choice for manufacturers who need more capability than a conventional industrial sewing machine but don’t necessarily require the extreme material capacity of HighTex’s largest automatic systems.

---

Production Efficiency Through Quick-Change Clamping

For repetitive manufacturing, machine downtime between cycles can have a meaningful effect on productivity.

The ASM911’s quick-change clamp system allows the operator to work on the next piece while the machine is completing the current sewing cycle.

This creates a more efficient workflow and makes better use of the machine’s automatic sewing capability.

For businesses producing large quantities of similar webbing products, this feature can be particularly valuable.

---

Operator-Friendly Automation

Automation doesn’t have to mean complicated operation.

The ASM911 was designed with a number of features intended to make programmable production easier for operators, including:

• Touchscreen controls
• 15-language interface
• Pattern selection
• Pattern memory
• Cycle programming
• Barcode pattern recognition
• First-stitch thread control
• Automatic thread trimming

This combination makes the ASM911 a practical option for businesses introducing programmable sewing technology into their production workflow.

Where the ASM911 Fits in the HighTex Range

The ASM911 is best positioned as the entry-level automatic programmable option within the HighTex range.

It doesn’t compete directly with the 733PLC or WEB911-7X on extreme material capacity or complete production-line automation. Instead, its appeal is its balance of:

Lower investment + programmable automation + heavy-duty sewing + modern production features

For a manufacturer producing safety harnesses, cargo lashing belts or heavy webbing who wants to automate repetitive pattern sewing without investing in a $20,000–$70,000+ production system, the ASM911 is a very logical starting point.
