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 s eams. 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 c onjunction with various pneumatic machine functions.
This drive and control system 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.
5
1
–
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 sequence 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 s ewing 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 (-1,0 mm to +0,5 mm)
- number of stitches in the eye

4. Swivelling the automat up and down
Caution: Danger of injury !
The automat must only be swivelled up when the machine is
switched off or in the “Threading mode” (see chapter “Threading
mode”).
For various operations (e.g. for threading the looper thread or the gimp
thread) the automat has to be swivelled up.
Swivelling up:
–
Pull the locking bolt 1 and lift the automat at the front.
–
Let the locking bolt 1 go again and let it click into one of the
drill-holes (maybe you have to move the automat up and down a
little).
–
You should not let the automat go before the locking bolt 1 has
snapped in.
Swivelling down:
–
Keep hold o f the automat and pull the locking bolt 1.
–
Swivel the automat down slowly.
Important !
When the automat is swivelled up very high, the effect of the
gas-pressurized spring that is to slow down the downward
movement is rather low at first. Therefore keep hold of the automat
when you s wivel it down.
Operating the automat when it is swivelled up can lead to injuries and
damage.

5. Thread tension
5.1 Upper thread and looper thread tension
The thread tensions are dependent on the type and quality of the
threads and fabrics. The buttonhole looks best if it is sewn with the
lowest possible thread tension.
Too tight thread tensions can lead to undesired ruffling and thread
breakage, particularly when processing thin materials.
Upper thread tension
In general the upper thread tension has to be tighter than the looper
thread tension. The upper thread tension is designed as an electronic
tension. It consists of the main tension for the sewing process and a
remaining tension (cutting tension) for tightening the upper thread
during the cutting operation under the throat plate.
Depending on the elasticity of the upper thread used, the remaining
tension (cutting tension) has to be adjusted in such a way that the
upper thread end hanging out of the needle is long enough to ensure a
safe sewing start.
–
Adjust the main tension for the sewing operation via the control
panel (see chapter 9.3.2 Adjusting the thread tension in the main
level).
–
Adjust the remaining tension (cutting tension) via the control panel
(menu item 130).
19

Looper thread tension
–

Turn the tensioner in clockwise direction in order to increase the
looper thread tension.
Turn the tensioner counter-clockwise in order to reduce the looper
thread tension.
–
Swivel the machine head down.
Caution: Danger of injury !
The looper thread tension must only be adjusted when the machine
is switched off or in the “Threading mode” (see chapter “Threading
mode”).
Hint
The length of the starting thread can be adjusted by changing the
thread tension a t the start.
