Title:
To study the feeding mechanism of overlock machine.
Objective:
Students will be able to understand the feeding mechanism of overlock machine.
Equipment And Material:
Overlock Stitch Machine
Screw Driver
Cleaning Cloth
Abstract:
This lab is all about understanding the feeding mechanism of overlock machine
that how stitches are formed by the overlock machine on the fabric due to which
we’ve opened different parts of the machine to study their working.
Theory:
Introduction:
Overlock Machine:
In mass garment manufacturing, after lock stitch machines, overlock machines are
mostly used one among many sewing machine types. Overlock machine also
known as serger, over edge sewing machine and interlock sewing machine. An
industrial overlocker is primarily used to sew edges of a cloth piece with clean
finish.
Feed Mechanism:
Feed mechanism is defined as the process by which the fabric is moved forward in
the feeding zone of the sewing machine.
Functions:
To advance the fabric in the feeding zone of the sewing machine.
To decide the length of individual stitch (spm)
Appropriate feed mechanism is sleeted to confirm case in sewing
Operation and to avoid different sewing faults.
Conclusion:
In this practical we learned about feeding mechanism of overlock sewing machine.
