HCS3-1201 VOYAGER Embroidery Machine

HappyJapan’s 12-needle Voyager is the most capable compact single-head machine in the industry. Within its efficient 11″ x 17″ footprint lies the heart of a true commercial machine, with an oversize sewing motor, heavy-duty drive shafts, belts, and bearings that enable sustained, high-speed production while demonstrating extreme durability.

Its large tubular sewing field, true wide-field cap sewing ability, and unrestricted sewing arm allow sewing flexibility unmatched in its class. The HCS3 is the latest generation Voyager, featuring a redesigned sewing head that’s more robust, easier to thread, and equipped with a built-in laser marker. Other improvements include:

• Ultra-slim profile sewing arm
• Redesigned thread stand for more cone types
• Increased memory capacity
• Refined cut cycle for cleaner embroidery

12-Needle Voyager: A Proven Performer

Since its debut over 20 years ago, Voyager has been a revolution in compact, commercial embroidery machines. Designed with HappyJapan’s heavy-duty industrial standards, the HCS3 inherits the proven drive system that allows continuous high-speed production without fatigue. It can even outperform larger single-head machines in sustained output.

Amazing Capability on Finished Ballcaps

With a max speed of 850 SPM on caps, the HCS3 surpasses all other compacts in quality and efficiency. From 3D puff to trucker-style hats, its ultra-slim sewing arm enables higher sewing on caps and better results on low-profile hats. It offers the widest sewing field in its class: 11.4" wide by nearly 3" tall.
