Melco Fast Clamp PRO Upgrade Kit
Upgrade your Melco Fast Clamp PRO with the Melco Fast Clamp PRO Upgrade Kit, designed to make challenging embroidery projects easier, cleaner, and more consistent. This upgrade kit enhances the original Fast Clamp PRO system with new Backing Holder Arms and Garment Stoppers, giving embroiderers improved control when working with hard-to-hoop items.
The upgraded lower arms allow you to use backing with Fast Clamp PRO projects, helping support lightweight, stretchy, or difficult materials during embroidery. The included garment stoppers also help with repeatable placement, making it easier to position items consistently from one project to the next.
Designed to Improve Fast Clamp PRO Performance
The Melco Fast Clamp PRO is already a valuable tool for embroidering products that are difficult to hoop with standard hoops. This upgrade kit takes that system even further by adding backing support and improved positioning control, helping embroidery shops save time, reduce handling frustration, and produce more accurate stitch placement on specialty items.
Key Features
- Upgrade kit for the Melco Fast Clamp PRO embroidery clamping system.
- Includes upgraded lower arms with backing holder functionality.
- Allows backing to be used with Fast Clamp PRO projects.
- Includes garment stoppers for easier and more consistent product positioning.
- Helps improve control on lightweight, stretchy, narrow, or hard-to-hoop items.
- Supports more accurate repeat placement for production embroidery.
- Includes short, medium, and long backing holder arm sets.
- Designed for compatible Melco embroidery machines using the Melco Fast Clamp PRO.
Better Backing Support for Specialty Embroidery
The included backing holder arms are designed to help secure stabilizer during embroidery, which is especially useful when working with products that are small, flexible, stretchy, or difficult to hold flat. This added backing support can help improve stitch quality and reduce material movement while embroidering.
Consistent Placement with Garment Stoppers
The garment stoppers help make positioning easier by giving you a repeatable reference point when loading products into the clamp. This is especially helpful for shops producing multiples of the same item, such as pockets, straps, collars, sleeves, socks, small garments, bags, and other specialty embroidery projects.
Compatible Machines
The Melco Fast Clamp PRO Upgrade Kit is compatible with Fast Clamp PRO setups used on Melco SUMMIT, EMT16 and E16 models, Amaya XTS, Amaya XT, and Bravo machines.
Please note: This upgrade kit requires the Melco Fast Clamp PRO. The Fast Clamp PRO is not included. See part number 34866 for the Melco Fast Clamp PRO system.
