An industrial sewing machine is a heavy machine designed for commercial or industrial production environments. It is usually used in garment factories, textile production facilities, interior decoration shops, and other industries that need efficient and accurate sewing.
The following are some of the main features of industrial sewing machines. First of all, industrial sewing machines are equipped with powerful motors that can sew at high speed, produce quickly, and improve efficiency. Depending on the machine model and application, the working speed of industrial sewing machines is usually 1,000 to 5,000 stitches per minute. Secondly, industrial sewing machines are made of durable materials, such as cast iron or heavy metal frames, to withstand the strict requirements of continuous use and mass sewing. The solid structure improves the stability, accuracy, and life of the machine, even when sewing thick or heavy materials. Thirdly, industrial sewing machines have spacious working areas and extended sewing tables to adapt to large cloth, heavy materials, and complex sewing projects. Sufficient space makes the fabric better handled, maneuverable, and easy to sew. Fourthly, many industrial sewing machines provide various sewing methods, including straight thread, zigzag thread, decorative thread, and special thread, for different sewing purposes.
The structure of the industrial sewing machine is made up of these basic components. Firstly, stability and support of the whole machine are provided by the base and frame of the industrial sewing machine. To resist vibration and force caused by the sewing process, the frame shall be made from heavy metal or cast iron. Second, the head of the sewing machine is a major mechanical component that includes a needle, presser foot, feed mechanism, thread tensioning system, and so on. The actual sewing operation is carried out here. Thirdly, industrial sewing machines use special needles specially designed for specific fabrics, materials, and sewing applications. Fourthly, when sewing, the presser foot fixes the cloth at the position of the feeding dog to ensure smooth and even feeding of the cloth. Different types of presser feet can be used for various sewing tasks, such as zipper sewing, button sewing, and side sewing.
The type of fabric used, the required stitch pattern, and the production requirements of the production equipment shall be taken into account when choosing an industrial sewing machine. Industrial sewing machines are listed below in their various types. Lockstitch machine is the first type, consisting of two kinds. The single-needle lockstitch machine has a single needle and a bottom feeding mechanism for precise splicing. The double-needle lockstitch machine is similar to the single-needle sewing machine, but there are two parallel lines. It is often used for decoration, surface sewing, and double sewing. The second type is an overlock machine, also called a serger. It is used to trim burrs, sew and create decorative lines. It allows trimming and sewing to prevent wear. Third, the coverstitch machine is suitable for slicing edges, cutting seams, and creating precision cuts. It can sew two or three rows of flat lines at the top of the fabric and a circle at the bottom. Fourthly, in order to ensure that the fabric moves evenly in the machine, the walking foot machine has a walking foot mechanism.
