Jack's top industrial lockstitch, for shirt, trouser and uniform lines.

The Jack A5E-B AMH2 in 30 seconds

What it is

Jack's top single-needle lockstitch, with the most features of the Jack lockstitch machines we supply: a built-in direct-drive motor, automatic thread trimmer, digital presser foot lift, voice guidance, an oil-free head and Jack's AMH2 adaptive fabric system, which senses each fabric and sets the machine for it.

Who it's for

Garment, uniform and workwear factories in the UAE, the GCC and Africa, from Ghana and Benin to Kenya and Ethiopia, sewing shirts, trousers and uniforms on production lines. Smaller garment workshops use it too, because it sets itself for each fabric they sew.

Why this model

Pick it when you want Jack's top lockstitch on the line. It has more features than the Jack A2C and A4C, and it is the one that senses each fabric and sets itself as it sews. For operators who want no automatic features, we supply the Jack F6.

What the A5E-B AMH2 does on a factory floor

Jack A5E-B AMH2 sewing machine stitching across thick denim cross seams

AMH2 adaptive fabric system

It feels the fabric change and adjusts itself

Jack's dual-core Octopus AI chip reads the fabric and seams under the foot and sets the machine for them as it sews, with no manual adjustment. Jack quotes 22 million device data models and 100,000 operations a second.

On the factory floorBecause the machine reads the fabric and seams under the foot and sets itself, operators keep sewing through fabric changes with no manual adjustment.

Dual-drive APE motor

11.3 N·m of torque for thick seams

Jack rates its response at four times faster than a standard motor, with 22.5% higher power density. Jack shows it sewing through 18 layers of denim.

On the factory floorBecause the motor gives 11.3 N·m of torque and responds quickly, the machine keeps stitching steadily through thick seams such as layered denim.

Oil-free head

A sealed oil pan, so it never leaks oil

The head runs dry. Only the hook is lubricated, from a sealed oil pan that also keeps dust out. Jack states it sews 10,000 m without losing a drop.

On the factory floorIts sealed oil pan means it never leaks oil, so the head stays dry and clean through every shift, whatever colour the line is sewing.

  • Automatic thread trimmer

    Trims the thread at the end of every seam, so there is less hand trimming down the line.

  • Digital presser foot lift

    Driven by a stepper motor and set in 13 levels from the control panel, one setting per fabric.

  • 305 mm arm

    Jack gives it 305 mm of space under the arm for long panels and bulky garments.

Also built in: a simplified control panel and voice guidance that talks operators through functions and error messages.

Questions about the Jack A5E-B AMH2

Anything else, ask us on WhatsApp. We usually reply within one working day.

Ask on WhatsApp

Is the Jack A5EB the same machine as the A5E-B AMH2?

Yes. A5EB, A5E-B and A5E-B AMH2 all mean the same Jack machine. AMH2 is the name of its adaptive fabric system.

Is the Jack A5E the same as the A5E-B AMH2?

When a factory asks us for a Jack A5E, we supply the A5E-B AMH2, the A5E model we sell today. AMH2 is Jack's second-generation adaptive fabric system, with a dual-core AI chip and the 11.3 N·m dual-drive motor, and Jack builds the A5E-B with an oil-free head.

What is the price of the Jack A5E-B in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait or Qatar?

It depends on the quantity, the table and stand, and where it is delivered. For a factory line we quote all the machines together. Send your city and quantity on WhatsApp or through the enquiry form and we reply with the AED price and delivery time, usually within one working day.

What is the price of the Jack A5E-B in Ghana, Kenya or Ethiopia?

It depends on the quantity, the table and stand, and delivery to your city. Send us those on WhatsApp and we reply with one quotation in AED covering the machines, delivery to your factory and installation, usually within one working day.

Is the A5E-B suited to a factory production line?

Yes. It runs at up to 5,000 stitches a minute, trims the thread automatically and adjusts itself to each fabric, so operators do not stop to re-set it when the fabric changes. We supply it by the line, with tables, stands, installation and operator training.

Jack A5E-B AMH2 or Juki DDL-7000A for shirts and trousers?

Both are direct-drive lockstitch machines with an automatic thread trimmer, and both run at up to 5,000 stitches a minute on light and medium fabric. The A5E-B is Jack's top lockstitch and has more features: its AMH2 system senses each fabric and sets the machine as it sews, it has a digital presser foot lift and voice guidance, and its sealed oil pan means it never leaks oil. We supply both, so send us your fabric and daily output and we quote either.

Can you equip a whole line, not just this machine?

Yes. Tell us what you make and your daily output target. We recommend the machine mix for the line, from lockstitch to overlock, interlock and special machines, and can visit your factory for an assessment first.

Does the A5E-B leak oil onto the fabric?

No. Its sealed oil pan means it never leaks oil. Jack builds it with an oil-free head: there is no oil in the head, and only the hook is lubricated, from that sealed pan. Jack states it sews 10,000 m without losing a drop.

What fabrics can the A5E-B sew?

Thin to medium-thick materials for shirts, trousers, uniforms and workwear. Jack shows it sewing through 18 layers of denim. For heavy materials Jack makes the A5E-B-H-7, with a 7 mm stitch and a heavier needle. Ask us if you need it.

Do you deliver the Jack A5E-B to Riyadh, Accra, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Cotonou and Lomé, and train our operators?

Yes. We ship from Sharjah across the Middle East and Africa, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iraq, Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Benin, Togo, Ivory Coast and Tunisia. We have offices in the UAE and Ghana and a presence in Kenya. We install every machine at your factory and train your operators. After that we support you with genuine spare parts and annual maintenance contracts.

Do you supply the Jack A5E-B manual, parts book and spare parts?

Yes. We can send Jack's instruction manual and parts list for your exact version on WhatsApp, and we supply spare parts. For a part, send us the part number from the parts list or a photo of the part.

What warranty does the Jack A5E-B AMH2 carry?

Every Jack machine from Al Borj carries a 2-year warranty, handled by our own service team, with genuine Jack parts.

Can I see the A5E-B working before I buy?

Yes. Book a demo at our showroom in Industrial Area 4, Sharjah, and bring a sample of your own fabric to test.
