"Speed & Dry" (SD) Technology. Core series include the
Yamato AZ8000SD and
Yamato AZ8500SD lines
Â
Core Engineering Benefits
- Stain-Free Technology: Eliminates oil leakage via minimal lubrication.
- High Production Speed: Runs up to 8,000 stitches per minute.
- Enhanced Internal Durability: Utilizes high-tech components for extended lifetime.
- Self-Cleaning System: Uses the Yamato SC18 System to clear greasy dust.
- Unraveling Prevention: Employs the Yamato ABT20 Back-Tacker for clean finishes.Â
The standard machine color of the Yamato AZ overlock series is industrial off-white featuring signature green and black accents.Â
Visual Color Breakdown
- Main Machine Body: Clean industrial off-white.
- Brand Accents: Signature deep green trim.
- Control Knobs: Dark matte black plastic.
- Text & Logos: High-contrast green lettering.
Functional Design Reasons
- Error Visibility: Light colors highlight dark lint build-ups.
- Oil Tracking: White housing exposes sudden oil leaks.

Seam & Operating Dimensions
- Overedge Seam Width: Scalable options between 3 mm and 8 mm depending on the needle plate setup.
- Needle Gauge/Distance: Standard choices include 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.2 mm, or 5.0 mm spacings.
- Stitch Length Capability: Fully adjustable from 1.0 mm up to 4.0 mm via the push-button system.
- Max Presser Foot Clearance: Raises from 5.0 mm to 7.5 mm depending on the specific heavy-duty submodel configurations
The Yamato AZ-SD Series utilizes an advanced differential bottom-feed mechanism driven by two independent feed dog sets.
Core Feeding Components
- Main Feed Dog: Controls the base stitch length and material flow.
- Differential Feed Dog: Speeds up or slows down relative to the main feed to gather or stretch fabric.
- Micro-Adjuster: Fine-tunes the ratio via an external lever for precise stretch control.
- Differential Ratio: Adjusts from 1:0.7 (stretching action) up to 1:2.0 (gathering action).
Specialized Variants
While the standard AZ8000SD uses a bottom-feed setup, specialized variations exist for difficult fabrics:
- Yamato AZF8000SD (Top Feed): Adds a mechanically driven top feed dog to prevent upper layer slippage on heavy or slippery materials.
- HR Device: Incorporates a needle cooler and thread lubricator to prevent friction melting during high-speed feeding
