Real Modular Functionality
Nearly 20 years ago, Melco redefined efficiency with the first networkable, modular embroidery system. Melco EMT16X is the next generation of the most efficient, productive embroidery machine in the world. What does a “modular” embroidery system do? With the Melco Operating System (MOS), you control every machine on the network from a single computer. This enables the management of individual machines as needed, without interrupting production on the entire network. No other system gives you this level of control and flexibility! With Melco EMT16X, there are no limits to how you can configure your system. You can embroider on virtually anything, and grow your embroidery business at your pace by adding single or multiple machines whenever you like. Check out the video to learn more.

Feature Enhancements
Melco EMT16X embroidery machines deliver outstanding performance, efficiency, and stitch quality! Thanks to enhanced Melco stitch dynamics, the frequency of “thread issues” is minimized. This means more run time per machine and greater ROI potential. In addition to amazing efficiency and performance, the stitch quality is outstanding. There are several new performance and time-saving features, most notably the completely redesigned Lower Arm Assembly and Auto Trimming System.
NEW Melco EMT16X Lower Arm Assembly
The new auto-trimming system is durable and reliable. Overall trim time has been reduced dramatically, which in turn reduces overall sew time. The self-sharpening carbide knife assembly consistently slices poly, rayon, metallic, and thick Burmilana thread. It’s also virtually maintenance-free.
Here are some other new features and advancements:
- Automatic Tie-In and Tie-Out Stitches
- 66% Reduction in Bobbin Tail Length
- New Needle Plate Design
- New Hoop Arms
- Redesigned Thread Tube Assembly
- New Grabber Blade

Exclusive Acti-Feed™ Thread Control System
Thread feed is managed by the patented Acti-Feed™ thread control system, delivering the precise amount of thread automatically. Conventional machines require manual thread tension adjustments. With Melco EMT16X, enter a few simple inputs such as fabric type and hoop selection, and this intelligent system will do the rest!
