Preface and general safety hints
Part 1: Operating Instructions cl. 559
(Edition: 07/2007)
1.Description of product
1.1Use in accordance with the requirements ...................................5
The DÜRKOPP ADLER 559 is a sewing automat determined for
sewing buttonholes in light to medium-weight material, i.e. fabrics
made of textile or synthetic fibers.
Such sewing materials are 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 estimate the possible risks
(preferably in c ooperation with DÜRKOPP ADLER) because on the one
hand such fields of application are comparatively r are and on the other
hand there is an immense variety of possibilities. According to the
result of this estimation suitable safety measures are to be taken.
Generally only dry fabrics must be processed w ith this machine. The
material must not be thicker than 8mmwhen compressed by the
lowered upper fabric clamps.
It must not include any hard objects. When working with the sewing
automat the operator must wear a finger and eye protection.The
sewing automat must be installed and operated in dry and well-kept
room s only. If it is operated in other rooms, which are not dry and
well-kept, further measures can become necessary which have to be
agreed upon (see EN 60204-31:1999). We as manufacturers of
industrial sewing machines 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.

1.2Brief description
The DÜRKOPP ADLER 559 is an automatic double-chainstitch
buttonholer or a s ingle-chainstitch automat for stitched eyelets with
CNC step motor technology for the material feed and the rotation of the
sewing mechanism. The automatic buttonholer works with two
chainstitch loopers the left of which is thread-guiding. For sewing of
buttonholes with or without eyelet, with taper tack, round tack, cross
tack or without bartacks. The automat is equipped with a needle thread
trimmer and an electronically regulated needle thread tension.
Technical features
The automat is driven by a positioning drive integrated in the machine
arm.
The drive for the motion of the axes X, Y and Z is effected via one step
motor each. These drives are controlled via an electronic control in
conjunction with various pneumatic machine functions.
The control panel is fitted on the machine arm in such a way that the
operator has a good view on it and that it is easily accessible. This
drive and control system offers the following advantages:
–
Variable sewing speed according to the sewing parameters
(e.g. needle thread, looper thread, material, seam width)
up to 2200 stitches/min. max.
–
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.
Control cams are not used.
–
The control panel with 8-digit LED display and membrane keyboard
is fitted on the right of the sewing head within easy reach of the
operator.
–
The following functions are operated via push button:
- Closing and opening the clamp
- Activating the sewing operation
- Quick stop with needle position “up”
5
–
Pneumatic cutting open of the buttonhole.
–
Automatic adaptation of the cutting power of the buttonhole knife
dependent on the programmed buttonhole length.
–
Due to the vertically working cutting block support no follow-up
work required in case of different cutting block heights.
–
Central oil wick lubrication from two oil reservoirs.
–
Switch at the head cover for moving to the ideal position for
threading in.
–
Electronically controlled needle thread tension.
–
In case of needle thread breakage the needle 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.
Control
–
A counter of the number of buttonholes sewn is shown in the
display.
–
5 programmable buttonholes can be memorized.
–
Integrated test and monitoring system ”Multitest”. Apart from the
monitoring of the sewing process this allows a rapid test of the
input and output elements as well as of the motor functions without
additional measuring instruments.
–
Electronic alteration of the throw width in lip and eyelet.
–
By means of a setting provision in 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 means a better view
when loading the workpiece.
–
According to the buttonhole type the following parameters can be
set at the control panel:
- with or without eyelet
- max. speed 2200 min
-1
- buttonhole length
- cutting before or after sewing
- without cutting open
- number of stitches in the eyelet
- stitch distance
- taper tack length

The look of the buttonhole is essentially influenced by the used sewing
thread.
Threads of synthetic fibre or even silk threads can be used as needle
and looper threads.
