5-Thread Overlock Machines

5-Thread Industrial Overlock Machines – Stitching and Overcasting Fabrics in One

Overlock machines are primarily used for the task of overcasting the edges of fabrics. The goal is to use built-in knives to trim the edge and then secure it to prevent fraying. However, this is not the only function of 5-thread overlock machines. These advanced sewing machines are designed not only to secure the fabric edges but also to stitch the materials together. 5-thread industrial overlock machines combine two functions in one stitch.

Professional 5-Thread Overlock Machines – Key Features

As the name suggests, 5-thread overlock machines use five threads, resulting in a significantly stronger and more durable stitch. The 5-thread overlock machines we offer are equipped with the latest Servo motor, installed in a Direct Drive system. This motor ensures quiet and reliable operation of the 5-thread overlock machine. Once you invest in such a sewing machine, you will quickly appreciate its advantages. These machines are also very robust, even used 5-thread industrial overlock machines will serve you perfectly for a long time. It’s an excellent investment for the future of your workshop or sewing studio. In addition to a powerful motor, 5-thread industrial overlock machines typically feature upper and lower differential fabric feed, which helps prevent the edges of the fabric from puckering or stretching excessively—an extremely practical function. We also recommend features such as lower looper threading aids, automated needle positioning, presser foot pressure adjustment, stitch length and width regulation, and stitch type selection.

Applications for 5-Thread Overlock Machines

5-thread overlock machines are versatile, suitable for medium and heavy tailoring as well as light fabrics. The differential upper and lower feed in 5-thread overlocks handles even the thinnest or most elastic fabrics exceptionally well, as well as the thickest and most challenging ones. Additionally, it’s important to note that a 5-thread stitch includes both a 3-thread narrow and wide overcast stitch and a 2-thread chain stitch for joining. 5-thread industrial overlock machines create extremely strong seams, making them ideal for demanding tailoring projects such as jersey garments: pajamas, pants, sweatshirts, T-shirts, tunics, knit dresses, wraps, etc. A 5-thread overlock machine operates with two needles, dual feed, at a speed of around 7,000 to 8,000 stitches per minute, often in fully automated mode.
