2 Technical Specifications
The Dürkopp Adler 512 is a CNC double lockstitch bartack sewing
machine. Die Dürkopp Adler 532 is a button sewing machine.
2.1 Characteristics of the 512
The existing programs are scalable and can be saved in this
modified form. The machine is equipped with an automatic sewing
foot lifter, thread cutter, thread wiper, a needle thread clamp below
the stitch plate for reliable sewing-on and an integrated DC direct
drive including an operating panel.
Technical features
• The sewing machine is driven by an integrated positioning
drive. A controller controls the sewing drive and also 2 stepper
motors for the X and Y motions required for generating the
seam geometry.

direction (lateral to the arm) and 30 mm in the Y direction
(parallel to the arm).
• The upper section is oil-free. This means that there is no
danger of soiling the sewn material with oil.
• The hook is lubricated by a wick lubrication system, fed from a
reservoir visible to the operator.
• 50 pre-programmed bartacks are available. The standard
patterns can be temporarily modified (changes to the total
length, total width, speed). When the machine is switched off,
the modified values of the most recently used bartack are
restored when the machine is switched on again.
• 50 additional modified standard patterns can also be stored.
• A maximum of 16,000 stitches can be stored.
• 25 sequence programs with up to 30 seam appearances per
sequence can be stored.

4.1 Threading needle thread
CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts
Only thread the needle thread with the sewing
machine switched off.
1. Plug the thread reels onto the thread reel holders and feed the
needle and hook threads through the unwinding bracket.
The unwinding bracket must stand horizontally above the
thread reels.
2. Thread the needle thread as shown in the following figure.
Figure 1: Threading needle thread
3. Pull the needle thread approx. 4 cm through the needle after
threading. This ensures reliable sewing-on.
4. When using silicone oil, also thread the needle thread through
the optional silicone oiler (1).

4.2 Setting the needle thread tension
①
②
(1) – Preliminary tensione r knurled nut(2) – Primary tensioner
Figure 2: Setting the needle thread tension
Operation
Preliminary tension of the needle thread
With an open primary tensioner (2) a small amount of residual
tension of the needle thread is required. The residual tension is
generated by the preliminary tensioner (1).
The preliminary tension also affects the length of the cut needle
thread end (starting thread for the next seam).
1. Turn the preliminary tensioner (1) clockwise (– direction) for
a shorter starting thread.
2. Turn the preliminary tensioner (1) counterclockwise
(+ direction) for a longer starting thread.
Primary tension of the needle thread
1. Set the primary tension of the needle thread (2) to be as low
as possible.
The thread interlacing should be exactly in the middle of the
material being sewn. With thin sewn material, excessive thread
tension can lead to undesired ruffing and thread breakages.

②
Opening the needle thread tensioner
The primary tensioner (2) is automatically opened during thread
cutting and when the clamping foot is raised.
4.3 Setting the thread regulator
CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts
Only thread the needle thread with the sewing
machine switched off.
The thread regulator (1) regulates the amount of needle thread
required for forming the stitch. An optimum sewing result is only
possible when the thread regulator is exactly adjusted.
With the correct setting the needle thread loop must slide over the
thickest part of the hook at low tension.
1. Loosen the screw (3).
2. Adjust the position of the thread regulator (1).
Thread regulator to the left = larger amount of needle thread
Thread regulator to the right = smaller amount of needle thread
3. Tighten the screw (3).
Adjustment note:
When the maximum thread quantity is required then the thread
tension spring (2) must be pulled approx. 0.5 mm down from its
upper end position. This occurs when the needle thread loop
passes the maximum hook diameter.
4.4 Winding the hook thread
Figure 4: Winding the hook thread
Operating Manual 512/532 Version 00.0 - 12/201324
Operation
1. Fit the bobbin (2) on the bobbin shaft (3).
2. Pull the thread through the guide (5) and around the
tensioner (6).
3. Wind the thread counterclockwise approx. 5 x around the
bobbin core (2).
4. Press the bobbin lever (4) into the bobbin.
5. Start sewing.
The bobbin winder stops automatically when the configured
bobbin filling length has been reached (see Service manual).
6. Tear off the thread at the thread clamp (1) after winding.
Note
If the thread must be wound without sewing then the thread winding
mode can be set in the controller.
See 5.9 Bobbin winding, p. 40
4.5 Replacing the hook thread bobbin
CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts
Only thread the hook thread bobbin with the sewing
machine switched off.
Only thread the hook thread tensioner with the
sewing machine switched off.
Figure 6: Setting the hook thread tension
Operating Manual 512/532 Version 00.0 - 12/201327
The required hook thread tension must be generated by the
tensioning spring (1). The bobbin housing upper section (3)
should slowly fall under its own weight when held by the threaded
hook thread.
Adjusting the tensioning spring
1. Remove the bobbin housing upper section (3) with the bobbin.
2. Adjust the tensioning spring (1) via the adjustment screw (2)
until the correct tension is set.
3. Insert the bobbin housing upper section (3).

CAUTION
Risk of injury from needle and moving parts

Operation
1. Loosen the screw (2) and remove the needle.
2. Insert the new needle into the hole in the needle bar (3) as far
as it will go, taking care to ensure that the groove in the
needle (1) faces the hook tip.
3. Tighten the screw (2).
4. Always adjust the clearance between the hook and the needle
after changing to a different needle thickness (see Service
manual).
Otherwise the following errors can occur:
• Changing to a thinner needle:
Missing stitches, thread damage
• Changing to a thicker needle: Damage to the hook tip,
damage to the needle

5.21Externally editing seam appearances
ATTENTION
Damage to the clamp if the sewing field size does not
match the clamp feet.
Check the clamping foot and adjust if necessary.
Seam appearances can externally created and edited on a PC,
e.g. using MS Excel or a text editor.
Each line represents a stitch coordinate in the X and Y directions.
The seam appearance has a maximum size of 400 x 300 x 1/10 mm.
Negative values and comma-separated values must not be
entered.
The operator does not need to perform any calculations in order
to center the seam appearance. The machine automatically
centers the seam appearance in the middle of the sewing field.
To subsequently relocate the seam appearance, see 5.14
Saving seam appearances, p. 42.
