Foreword

This instruction manual is intended to help the user to become familiar with the machine and take advantage of its application possibilities in accordance with the recommendations.

The instruction manual contains important information on how to operate the machine securely, properly and economically. Observation of the instructions eliminates danger, reduces costs for repair and down-times, and increases the reliability and life of the machine.

The instruction manual is intended to complement existing national accident prevention and environment protection regulations.

The instruction manual must always be available at the machine/sewing unit.

The instruction manual must be read and applied by any person that is authorized to work on the machine/sewing unit. This means:

–Operation, including equipping, troubleshooting during the work cycle, removing of fabric waste,

–Service (maintenance, inspection, repair) and/or

–Transport.

The user also has to assure that only authorized personnel work on the machine.

The user is obliged to check the machine at least once per shift for apparent damages and to immediatly report any changes (including the performance in service), which impair the safety.

The user company must ensure that the machine is only operated in perfect working order.

Never remove or disable any safety devices.

If safety devices need to be removed for equipping, repairing or maintaining, the safety devices must be remounted directly after completion of the maintenance and repair work.

Unauthorized modification of the machine rules out liability of the manufacturer for damage resulting from this.

Observe all safety and danger recommendations on the machine/unit! The yellow-and-black striped surfaces designate permanend danger areas, eg danger of squashing, cutting, shearing or collision.

Besides the recommendations in this instruction manual also observe the general safety and accident prevention regulations!

General safety instructions

The non-observance of the following safety instructions can cause bodily injuries or damages to the machine.

1.The machine must only be commissioned in full knowledge of the instruction book and operated by persons with appropriate training.

2.Before putting into service also read the safety rules and instructions of the motor supplier.

3.The machine must be used only for the purpose intended. Use of the machine without the safety devices is not permitted. Observe all the relevant safety regulations.

4.When gauge parts are exchanged (e.g. needle, presser foot, needle plate, feed dog and bobbin) when threading, when the workplace is left, and during service work, the machine must be disconnected from the mains by switching off the master switch or disconnecting the mains plug.

1.Description of product

1.1Use in accordance with the requirements

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 cooperation with DÜRKOPP ADLER) because on the one hand such fields of application are comparatively rare 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 with this machine. The material must not be thicker than 8 mm when 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 rooms 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 1 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 single-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

1.3Subclasses

Attention!

When changing over from one needle system to the other the distance between looper and needle and the adjustment of the needle protection have to be checked in any case (see service instructions).

Threads

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.

The look of the buttonhole is essentially influenced by		1
–	the used thread.
–	the use of different needle and looper thread sizes.

Gimps

The gimp is meant to stabilize the buttonhole and to give it a relief-type appearance at the same time.

It should have the following features:

–not too thick, but supple and tight

–even thickness

The threads mentioned in the following table are recommendations only. Depending on the sewing equipment (E-No.) and the material also other threads and thread sizes may be required.
