1. Product Description

1.1 Proper Use

The 743-221 is a sewing unit which can properly be used for the

sewing of light to medium weight material.

Such material is, as a rule, material made up of textile fibers or of

leather. These materials are used in the garment, furniture and

automobile upholstry industries. Further, it may also be possible to

execute so-called technical seams with this sewing unit. Here,

however, the operator must in any case (Dürkopp Adler will be glad to

help) make an evaluation of the possible dangers since such

applications are, on the one hand, relatively seldom and, on the other,

the variety is immense. Dependent on the results of this evaluation, it

may be necessary to take suitable safety precautions.

Generally, only dry material may be worked with this sewing unit. The

material may not be thicker than 3 mm. The material may contain no

hard objects.

The seam is generally made with textile fibers of dimensions up to

40/NeB (cotton yarns), 65/2 (synthetic yarns) or 65/2 Nm (covering

twists). Those wanting to use other threads must first evaluate the

dangers arising therefrom and, if necessary, take appropriate safety

measures.

This sewing unit may only be installed and operated in dry and clean

premises. If the sewing unit is used on other premises which are not

dry and clean, further measures, which are to be agreed upon, may be

necessary (see EN 60204-3-1:1990).

We, as a manufacturer of industrial sewing machines, assume that at

least semi-skilled operating personnel will be working on our products

so that all normal operations and, where applicable, their dangers are

presumed to be known.

1.2 Short Description

The DÜRKOPP 743-221 is a sewing unit for the automated sewing

single-point darts with straight or curved seam form and for the

sewing of pleats.

•The unit is equipped with a machine head in lockstitch execution.

•A form set appropriate to the seam form holds and guides the

material.

•The seam length control occurs, as desired, via a light barrier or

through programming.

•Seam securing at the seam beginning and seam end through bar

tacking or stitch condensation in the material

•Thread trimmming system: Controlled chain shears

•Transport carriage drive via step motor.

•The complete control of the sewing unit occurs via a

microcomputer. It assumes the control functions, monitors the

sewing process and signals operating errors and malfunctions.

•Electronic thread monitor prevents a restarting of the sewing

sequence by thread breakage or used-up threads.

2. Operating the Sewing Unit

2.1 Tilting the Machine Head Up

The machine head can be tilted up for maintenance work.

Caution Risk of Injury !

Turn the main switch off.

Tilt the machine head up only with the sewing unit turned off.

–Swing the placement table 1, bundle clamp and smoother to the

side.

–Bring the form set 3 into the left end position.

–Carefully tilt the machine head up at the lever 2.

The machine head is held in this position through the location of

the center of gravity.

2.2 Turning On - Quick Stop - Restarting

Caution Risk of Injury !

Do not reach into the area of moving machine parts.

Turning on

–Turn the main switch 2 on.

The controls are initialized.

The sewing unit requests a reference run.

–Press the " Σ" key.

The reference run is conducted.

The sewing unit is operational.

Turning off

–Turn the main switch 2 off.

The sewing unit is separated from the power supply.

It is not operational.

Quick stop

To immediately stop the sewing unit by operating errors, needle

breakage, thread breakage, etc. the " STOP " key on the controls 1

must be pressed.

–Press the " STOP " key.

All running procedures of the sewing unit are immediately stopped!

The sewing unit is returned to the same status which it is in after

being turned on.

Restarting

ATTENTION !

The restarting of the sewing unit after a quick stop may only occur

after the corresponding malfunction has been corrected.

–Turn main switch 2 off.

–Correct the malfunction.

–Turn main switch 2 on.

The sewing unit is ready to start again.

2.3 Threading the Needle Thread

Caution Risk of Injury !

Turn the main switch off.

Thread the needle thread only with the sewing unit turned off.

–Thread the needle thread as shown in the illustration.

2.4 Setting the Needle Thread Tension

Pre-tensioning 1

If the sewing unit is on, than the maintension is open. For the save

function of the needle thread monitor a residual tension of the needle

thread is necessary.

–Set pre-tensioning 1.

If the needle thread is fixed by the thread trimmer than the thread

clamp 3 should be hold in its highest position by the pre-tensioning.

Maintension 2

The recommended needle thread tension ( app. 60 - 80 g) is the result

of pre-tensioning 1 and maintension 2.

–Turn knurled nut 1 appropriately.

Increase tension = Turn knurled nut 1 clockwise

Decrease tension = Turn knurled nut 1 counterclockwise

2.5 Thread Monitor for the Needle Thread

The switch b14 monitors the needle thread.

Function

–After a breaking of the needle thread the thread guide 1 drops

down.

The switch b14 remains unoperated.

–The machine head positions in position 2 (needle up).

The display of the control unit shows the symbol "-x-" (needle

thread break).

Caution Risk of Injury !

Before threading the needle thread turn the main switch off.

Renewed starting is only possible after turning the main switch off and

on again.

–Thread the needle thread again and lead it through the thread

clamp.

–Turn the main switch on.

–Start a new sewing sequence.

2.6 Setting the Thread Regulator

The needle thread quantity required for stitch formation is regulated

with the thread regulator 2.

Only a precisely set thread regulator guarantees an optimal sewing

result.

The setting of the thread regulator is dependent on the following

factors:

–Stitch length

–Material thickness

–Characteristics of the sewing yarn used

With a correct setting, the needle thread loop 6 should glide over the

hook without excess and with a little tension.

Caution Risk of Injury !

Turn the main switch off.

Set the thread regulator only with the sewing unit turned off.

–Loosen screw 5.

–Set thread regulator 2.

The vertical wire 3 in conjunction with scale 4 serves as a setting

aid (Guideline value: 2.5).

–Tighten screw 5.

Setting note:

With a correct setting of the thread regulator the following must apply:

–When the thread loop 6 passes the maximum girth of the hook, the

thread controller spring 1 must be pulled approx. 1 mm downward

out of its upper end position.

The 1 mm dimension is a guideline. Dependent on the tension of

the thread controller spring, it can be greater or smaller.

2.7 Winding the Underthread

Caution Risk of Injury !

Turn the main switch off.

Thread the underthread for winding only with the sewing unit

turned off.

–For a secure functioning of the remaining thread monitor remove

thread residue from the bobbin hub before winding.

–Thread the underthread as shown in the illustrations.

–Wind the underthread clockwise in the reserve groove 6 of the

bobbin hub.

–Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder shaft 2.

–Pull the thread end through the cutting clamp 3 and cut off.

–Swing the bobbin winder flap 4 against the bobbin.

–Set the bobbin thread tension 1.

The underthread should be wound with the least possible tension.

–Turn the main switch on.

–Start the sewing sequence.

–The bobbin winder turns itself off after reaching the set bobbin fill

capacity.

For setting the bobbin fill capacity see the Service Instructions.
