THE ULTIMATE COMPACT EMBROIDERY MACHINE

Happy Japan’s 12-needle Voyager (3rd Generation) embroidery machine is the most capable compact multi-needle machine on the market. Within its efficient 11-inch x 17-inch 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. Happy Japan’s HCS3 is the latest generation Voyager, bringing further capabilities with a redesigned sewing head that’s more robust, easier to thread, and has a built-in laser marker. Other improvements include an ultra-slim profile sewing arm, redesigned thread stand that accommodates more types of thread cones, increased memory capacity, and refined cut cycle for cleaner embroidery.

12-Needle Voyager: A Proven Performer

When the original 12-needle Voyager embroidery machine was released over 20 years ago, it started a revolution in compact, yet truly commercial embroidery machines.  As HappyJapan had up to that point specialized in full-size, heavy-duty industrial embroidery machines, the company naturally transferred that design ethic to the original Voyager.  2 decades of continuous improvements later, the newest version – the HCS3 – inherits that proven heavy-duty drive system, which continues to impress owners with its ability to maintain high production speeds, hour upon hour, year upon year – without tiring.  There is simply no machine in Voyager’s size class that can begin to match this machine’s continuous output and profit potential, and it will even outrun many larger, full-sized single-heads on that metric.  Voyager is simply the most capable compact machine on the market. 

Other Great Benefits:

Ultra-slim Sewing Arm

  • The redesigned sewing arm on the HCS3 makes it easier to embroider in tight spots like pockets, sleeves, koozies, and more! There is also a built-in laser marker for your convenience.

Easy Maintenance

  • Happy Embroidery machines beat the competition on ease of maintenance, with very simple lubrication and cleaning requirements.

Redesigned Thread Stand

  • The redesigned thread stand can accommodate even the largest, widest thread cones in the industry. Did we mention that the stand allows 250 color changes per design?

Easy Touchscreen Control Panel

  • Acknowledged to be one of the easiest to learn and operate, HappyJapan's touchscreen interface requires very few button presses to accomplish most tasks. Common, everyday tasks, like loading and setting up designs, are accessed directly on the front screen without any menu-diving. Built-in help and auto-error correction help minimize downtime and maximize productivity.

Built to Last

  • The main motor is several times larger than that of any machine in its class. This heavy-duty, stepper-class motor not only maintains higher speeds, but has an extreme durability rating whose limit is as-yet untested in this model. Since the machine's debut in 2003, our service department has never had to replace a main motor due to wear.

Unlimited Flexibility

  • The HCS3 provides an unrestricted sewing area around the sewing arm. This allows very large objects such as golf bags, suitcases, or market totes, to be mounted on the machine for embroidery. Normally, large objects such as these would be blocked by the 'legs' that would otherwise flank the sewing arm on a more traditional machine layout.

Take your business to the next level

The HCS3-1201 Voyager punches far above its weight. Its oversized motor and heavy-duty drive system enable it to accomplish what almost no other machine in its class can. Imagine having an employee working multiple shifts for months or even years on end. The HCS3 produces embroidery at higher sustained sewing speeds, for longer periods of time. Since the machine’s debut in 2003, our service department has never had to replace a main motor due to wear. While Voyager’s maximum sewing speed is similar to others in its class (1000spm), its heavy-duty drive system allows it to run at the higher range of these speeds for much longer than its competition. This gives you the potential for a greater profitability.
