The BEAT 100 Series was a lineup of multi-head embroidery machines manufactured by Barudan from 1981 - 1987. The 100 Series was the first series in the long-running BEAT series of embroidery machines. It was succeeded by the Barudan BEAT 700 Series.

Models

The BEAT 100 series came in a 2-head configuration - the Barudan BEAT 102-UF, and a 6-head configuration - the Barudan BEAT 106-UF. The heads were the round or "turret-style" type with single take-up levers.

The 100 Series had five needles per head and did not come with trimmers or automatic color change. The machine had a keyboard lettering system and a three-line LCD display.

Upgrades

The Barudan BEAT models can be upgraded with the Embroidery Black Box which is an external file reader which allows the BEAT 100 series to upload design files from a modern USB flash memory stick.
