A machine that is very capable that we used in our sewing operations for about 10 years is the Juki DL555 and the DL5550. It is a lock stitch, has needle positioning, auto backtack and a trimmer. Very durable machine. Mitsubishi, Phaff and Brother to name a few also are good. 220 v panasonic motor is the way to go if you have 3 phase, but a 100 works too, just longer to wind up.
