Foreword and general safety instructions
Part 1:Operating Instructions Class 531- Original instructions
The Dürkopp Adler 531 is a CNC lockstitch button sewer. The
existing button patterns are scalable and can be saved in this
modified form. In addition it is possible to enter “free” stitch patterns
(programming). The button sewer is fitted with an automatic sewing
foot elevator, a thread cutter, a thread wiper, an electromagnetic
thread tensioner and an integral DC direct drive.
Technical features:
–
The sewing attachment is driven by an integral positioning drive. A
DAC control unit controls not only the sewing drive but also two
step motors for the X and Y movement to create the stitch
geometry.
–
The maximum size of t he sewing area is 40 mm in the X direction
and 20 mm in the Y direction.
–
The thread is tensioned electromagnetically. It can be freely
configured in specific areas of the stitch pattern.
–
The wick is lubricated centrally for the top part and hook. Two
separate oil reservoirs are available for this that are both supplied
by the top container. There is only one refilling point.
–
A maximum of 50 standard button patter ns are available. These
standard patterns can be modified temporarily (changing the
overall length, width, speed). When the machine is switched off
the modified values of the last used bar tack are retained when it
is switched on again.
–
40 modified standard patterns can also be stored.
–
There is also a maximum of 9 free stitch contours with a total of
3000 dynamically managed stitches available. Thus, for example,
free button patterns can be sewn. The co-ordinates of the free
stitch contours are entered on the operating panel. No other
machine is required.
–
25 sewing pattern sequence programs each with up to 20 sewing
patterns can be created and saved.
–
The accuracy of the co-ordinate entry is 0.1 mm.
–
It is possible to block special button and/or button sequence
programs and/ or modifications so that unauthorized use or
modification can be stopped from the technician level.
–
It is possible to perform an intermediate cut without raising the
button clamp so that a connection thread can be avoided.
–
The control unit can respond to exter nal signals (input) and can
also output signals itself (output).
–
There is a hook thread counter and a daily piece counter.
–
The arm shaft on the button sewer is driven directly by a brushless
direct current motor.
–

2Intended Use
The Class 531 is a button sewer that can be used as intended to sew
light to medium weight material. Such material is normally material
made out of textile fibers or leather. Such sewing materials are used in
the clothing, domestic upholstery and automobile upholstery industry.
In addition it is possible that even so-called technical seams can be
done with this button sewer. However, here the operator (in
co-operation with DÜRKOPP ADLER AG ) must assess the possible
risks because such applications are on the one hand comparatively
rare and on the other hand there is an enormous variety. Depending
on the results of this assessment suitable precautions may need to be
taken.
Normally only dry material must be processed with this button s ewer.
The material must not be thicker than 9 mm if it is to be compressed
through the lowered sewing feet. The material must not contain any
hard objects. The button sewer must not be operated without an eye
guard.
The seam is normally created with sewing threads made of textile
fibers (cotton thread, synthetic thread or braided yar ns) with the
following dimensions:
Class 531-21150/3 - 120/3 thread thickness
If you want to use other threads you must also the assess risks arising
from this and if necessary take precautions.
This button sewer must only be installed and operated in dry, tidy
premises. If the button sewer is used in other rooms that are not dry
and tidy other measures will be required that will have to be agreed
(see EN 60204-31: 1999).
As a manufacturer of industrial sewing machines we assume that at
least skilled operating personnel work on our product so that a ll the
normal conditions and if necessary their risks can be assumed to be
known.

7.2Adjusting needle thread tension
321
Pre-tensioning 3
When the main tensioner 2 is open a slight residual tension on the
needle thread is required. The residual tension is created by the
pre-tensioner 3.
At the same time the pre-tensioner 3 affects the length of the cut
needle thread end (starting thread for the next seam).
–
Shorter starting thread:
Turn the knurled nut 1 clockwise.
–
Longer starting thread:
Turn the knurled nut 1 anti-clockwise.
Main tensioner 2
The main tensioner 2 must be set as low as possible.
The threads should intertwine in the middle of the material.
If the thread tensions are too great this could lead to unwanted
crimping and thread tearing with thin material.
–
Adjust the main tensioner 2 so that an even stitch pattern is
achieved.
To increase tension= turn the knurled nut
clockwise
To reduce tension= turn the knurled nut
anti-clockwise
7.3Opening needle thread tensioner
Automatic
The needle thread tension opens automatically when the thread is cut
and when the material clamping feet are raised.
10
7.4Adjusting thread regulator
1
321
Caution, danger of injury!
Switch the main switch off.
Only adjust the thread regulator when the button sewer is switched
off.
The thread regulator 3 adjusts the amount of needle thread required to
form the stitch.
Only a precisely adjusted thread regulator guarantees optimum
sewing results.
If the adjustment is correct the needle thread loop must slide over the
thickest part of the hook with slight tension.
–
Undo screw 1.
–
Change the position of the thread regulator 3.
Thread regulator to the left = greater needle thread quantity
Thread regulator to the right = smaller needle thread quantity.
–
Screw up screw 1.
Adjustment note:
If the greatest amount of thread is required the thread take up spring
2 must be pulled down about 0.5 mm from its final upper position.
This is the case if the needle thread loop passes the maximum hook
diameter.
