Peak Performance

1500 Stitches Per Minute | Super Fast Color Change Motor | Durable Commercial Construction | 16 Needles

At 1500 stitches per minute, Melco SUMMIT is one of the fastest stitching commercial embroidery machines available. However, we know commercial embroidery performance is more than just stitch speed. SUMMIT’s high-performance color change motor dramatically cuts down on stitch time for complex, multi-colored designs. A rigid, all-metal frame reduces unwanted flex and vibration to ensure consistent, precise stitching that is critical to commercial embroidery success.

Peak Performance
Melco Acti-Feed™

Melco Acti-Feed™

Automatic thread tensioning not only makes SUMMIT easier to use, but is also a key part of SUMMIT’s rapid stitch speeds. Simply select a garment preset and let Acti-Feed™ deliver thread at an optimal rate based on fabric type and thickness, enabling high-speed stitching while avoiding thread breaks.
Changing Colors

Changing Colors

A super fast-color change motor and 16 needles allow for more flexibility and faster production when stitching designs with many different colors. Further optimize large jobs by loading multiple spools of the same color and letting SUMMIT automatically switch to backup spools for longer runtime.

Intelligent Commercial Embroidery System

SUMMIT is part of Melco’s Intelligent ecosystem, which means it’s been engineered to maximize your commercial embroidery success. With intelligent automation and OFM file support built-in, you can streamline your workflow, consistently get professional results, and tackle challenging jobs with ease.

Intelligent Software

Melco’s software solutions streamline the embroidery design process. DesignShop makes digitizing easier than ever. Enterprise Fulfillment Solutions (EFS) automates digitizing, and mass customization. And Fusion streamlines e-commerce on-demand embroidery tasks.

Intelligent File Management

Melco software generates barcoded embroidery files using our proprietary OFM format. This combines vector design details, design information, and machine settings into a single file. Simply scan the barcode on the design sheet to transfer designs to your machine. The network-stored OFM file and its settings are directly loaded onto your machine, enhancing production efficiency and minimizing operator errors.

Intelligent Machines

Along with OFM compatibility and barcode reading capabilities, Melco embroidery machines are full of intelligent features targeted at commercial embroidery performance. Laser alignment, automatic color sequencing, and Acti-Feed™ thread tensioning simplify tedious parts of embroidery and speed up production time.
