Automatic overlock sewing machine

  I. Control mode and intelligence Ordinary overlock sewing machine: rely on manual operation, need to manually adjust the needle distance, stitch tension, thread cutting and other functions, parameter Settings need manual intervention, high skill requirements for the operator.   Automatic overlock sewing machine: integrated numerical control system (such as PLC or computer control system), can be preset needle distance, tension, trimming parameters adjustment, support simple operation can switch different stitch mode (such as three-thread, four-thread sewing),fabric thickness can be easily adjusted.   II. Function and efficiency Ordinary overlock sewing machine: The basic functions are single, such as threading, thread cutting, and adjusting the presser foot need to be completed by manually. Auxiliary processes (such as fabric feeding and thread cutting) rely on manual operation, and the production efficiency is very low. Automatic overlock sewing machine: Some models needs automatic loading, feeding, sewing, cutting, and collecting functions (such as SOMAX automatic overlock template machine). There is an integrated servo motor to achieve high-speed and stable sewing. Free skilled operator on the whole process.   III. Precision and consistency Ordinary overlock sewing machine: stitch uniformity depends on the worker's experience, prone to problems such as needle pitch deviation and skipped stitches, and high defective rate (about 3%-5%). Automatic overlock sewing machine: The CNC system accurately controls the movement trajectory, with high stitch consistency (error <0.1mm), and the defective rate can be reduced to less than 1%, which is suitable for high-end clothing with strict quality requirements (such as underwear and sportswear)   IV. Operation difficulty and labor cost Ordinary overlock sewing machine: requires professional workers to operate, long training period (1-3 months), high labor cost (depends on skilled workers). Automatic overlock sewing machine: simplified interface (touch screen operation), novices can get started after short-term training (1-2 weeks), reducing dependence on skilled workers, and reducing labor costs by 30%-50%.   V. Applicable Scenarios Ordinary overlock sewing Machine: Suitable for small-batch customization, home workshops, or cost-sensitive low-end markets (such as workwear and home textiles). Automatic overlock sewing Machine: Ideal for garment factories, clothing production lines, and other large-scale production scenarios, especially for fast fashion and branded clothing with large-volume orders, balancing efficiency and quality.   Core Advantages Comparison Dimension Ordinary Overlock Sewing Machine Automatic Overlock Sewing Machine Efficiency Low (High manual intervention) High (Fully automated with significantly enhanced speed) Precision Human-dependent, inconsistent CNC-controlled, high consistency Labor Cost High (Requires skilled workers) Low (Simple operation, short training cycle) Smart Features No integration, purely mechanical Supports program presets & data monitoring Applicable Scenarios Small workshops, low-end markets Factory assembly lines, premium brand production    Case reference (Quanzhou) Quanzhou as textile and garments base, a lot of enterprises for instance Septwolves and XTEP have updated their automatic overlock sewing equipment. According to industry data, automatic equipment will increase the avenue capacity by 40%,lower the labor cost by 60%.Especially suitable for sportswear high frequency and accurately edge binding, for example shoes tongue, T-shirts overlock.

1.Application in garment manufacturing industry Large-scale clothing production: In the daily clothing production of T-shirts, jeans, etc., SOMAX automatic overlock sewing machine can quickly complete the edge stitching process. It can complete many pcs per minute, greatly improving production efficiency to meet the demands of large orders.   High-end fashion customization: For some high-end fashion with complex processes and high detail requirements, the automatic overlock sewing equipment can achieve a delicate and uniform sewing effect through its high-precision control, ensuring the quality and unique design.   2.Apply to home textile products For home textile products such as pillowcases, pillow towels, and dust proof cloths, SOMAX automation overlock sewing machine can quickly complete the splicing and edge overlock of each piece of fabric. Take the pillowcases for example, it can quickly sew each surface and make beautiful edges to prevent the fabric from unraveling, improve the durability of the product,  compared to traditional manual work, it can improve the production efficiency greatly.   3.Applied to cleaning products Mop cloth production: When making cotton or chemical fiber mop cloths, SOMAX automation sewing machine can sew the edges of the cut cloth quickly . It can prevent the mop cloth from falling apart due to frequent friction during used, extending the service life of the mop cloth. For example, for common flat mop cloths, according to the size and shape ,the machine can  complete the sewing of all four sides accurately , and by selecting the appropriate stitching, it can enhance the firmness of the seams ,to meet the high-intensity use requirements of daily mopping.   Cleaning rag production: All kinds of cleaning rags, whether they are oil-absorbing kitchen rags or cleaning car polishing rags, SOMAX automatic overlocking equipment can efficiently complete the overlocking process. For different materials and functions rags, such as microfiber cleaning rags, the equipment can use fine overlocking stitches to ensure the softness, prevent the fiber from being exposed, ensure the cleaning effect, and at the same time improve the overall aesthetics of the product, making it more in line with consumers' demand for high-quality cleaning products.   Sponge Production: During the sponge production process, SOMAX overlock machine can tightly stitch the sponge together with outer wrapping materials, such as non-woven fabric or durable textiles. For example, in the case of common dishwashing sponges, SOMAX automatic overlock equipment is used to stitch the sponge with a coarse fabric that has cleaning capabilities. This not only ensures that the sponge is firmly fixed and less likely to fall off, but also results in a neat and tight seam. This effectively prevents water from penetrating into the interior of the sponge during use, thereby extending the lifespan of the sponge. Additionally, it optimizes the product's appearance, making it more marketable.   4.Applications in Other Fields Automotive Interior Manufacturing: For the production of automotive seat covers and interior decorative fabrics, SOMAX automatIC overlock equipment can accommodate the diverse materials used in automotive interiors, such as leather and textiles. It provides strong and aesthetically pleasing stitching, meeting the dual requirements of strength and appearance in automotive interior manufacturing   Bags making: In the production of various types of bags, such as canvas bags, backpacks and storage bags, SOMAX automatic overlock sewing machine play an important role in quickly completing sewing process, increasing efficiency and quality.   With the continuous advancement of technology, SOMAX automatic sewing equipment will play a greater role in more fields, bring new changes to production and manufacturing.
