1. Product description

1.1 Designated Use

The DÜRKOPP ADLER 580 is a sewing automat designed for the sewing of buttonholes in light to medium-weight material.

Such material, which is generally made of textile or synthetic fibres, is used in the clothing industry. Furthermore, this sewing automat can possibly also sew so-called technical seams. However, in this case the user has to evaluate the possible risks (preferably in cooperation with DÜRKOPP ADLER) since such applications are rather rare and the variety of possibilities is vast. According to the result of this evaluation suitable safety measures are to be taken. Generally only dry fabrics must be processed with this machine. The material must not be thicker than 8mmwhen compressed by the lowered upper fabric clamps.

The material may not contain any hard objects. The person operating the automat has to wear finger and eye protection. The sewing automat must be installed and operated in dry and well-kept rooms only. If it is operated in other rooms, that are not dry and well-kept further measures which have to be agreed upon (see EN 60204-31:1999) can become necessary. We as manufacturers of industrial sewing automats take it for granted that at least semi-skilled operators are working with our products so that we can assume that all usual operations and their risks are known to them.

1.2 Brief description

The DÜRKOPP ADLER 580 is a double-chainstitch buttonhole automat or a single-chainstitch automat for stitched eyelets with CNC step motor technology for the material feed and the rotation of the sewing mechanism.

The buttonhole automat works with two chainstitch loopers, the left one being thread-guiding. For sewing of buttonholes with or without eye, with taper tack, round tack, cross tack or without bartacks.

As eyelet automat it works with two chain stitch-blind-loopers for the sewing of single stitched eyelets.

The automat is equipped with a upper thread trimmer and an electronically regulated upper thread tension.

Depending on the subclass, the 580 comes with different types of thread trimmer systems.

Technical features

The automat is driven by a positioning drive integrated in the machine arm.

The drive for the motion of the axis X, Y and Z is effected by one step motor for each axis. These drives are controlled via an electronic control in conjunction with various pneumatic machine functions.

This drive and control s ystem offers the following advantages:

–

Variable sewing speed according to the sewing parameters (e.g. upper thread, looper thread, material, seam width) up to a maximum of 2200 stitches/min.

–

Quiet running (no mechanical switching on and off). Additional noise reduction by optimized needle bar and looper drive.

–

The use of step motors allows a very variable field of application. No use of control cams.

–

The control panel with membrane keyboard that is able to display graphics is fitted on the right side of the sewing head within easy reach of the operator.

–

The following functions are operated via manual switches:

- Closing and opening the clamp

- Activating the sewing operation

- Quick stop with needle position “up”

–

Pneumatic cutting of the buttonhole.

–

Automatic adaptation of the cutting power for the buttonhole knife dependent on the programmed buttonhole length.

–

Due to the vertically working cutting system support no follow-up work required in case of different cutting block heights.

–

Vacuum extraction of the eyelet cut wastes

–

Central oil wick lubrication from two oil reservoirs.

–

Switch at the head cover for moving to the ideal position for threading in.

–

Electronically controlled upper thread tension.

–

In case of upper thread breakage the upper thread monitor interrupts the sewing cycle, the fabric clamps remain closed and hold the workpiece which can be removed at the touch of a button.

–

Covered, smooth design. The swivelling up of the automat is supported by a gas-pressurized spring which also helps that the machine head is swivelled back slowly.

–

The special design of the machine arm allows for a vertical positioning of the fabric by using a different cloth detention device (additional equipment).

Control

–

Counter indicating the number of buttonholes sewn on the display.

–

You can define up to 50 different buttonholes. Up to 25 buttonhole sequences with up to 5 programmed buttonholes can be memorized. One s equence may contain up to 9 different buttonholes, every buttonhole can be 9 times repeated consecutively within the sequence.

–

Integrated test and monitoring system ”Multitest”. This system allows not only for a monitoring of the sewing process but also for a quick testing of the input and output elements as well as of the motor functions without additional measuring instruments.

–

By means of a setting provision on the display it is made possible that the fabric support plate moves to the initial position of the next buttonhole after releasing the workpiece. This allows for a better view when positioning the fabric.

–

According to the buttonhole type the following parameters can be set at the control:

- with or without eye

-tacktype (with taper tack, round tack, cross tack or no tack)

- max. speed: 2200 min

-1

- buttonhole length

- cutting before or after sewing

- no cutting

- stitch distance

-formofeye

- electronic setting of the stitch row gauge (+/- 0,5 mm)

- number of stitches in the eye
