Overview
High-spec European-built Dürkopp Adler 767-FA-373 single-needle lockstitch flatbed machine with triple transport (bottom feed + needle feed + alternating walking foot). Configured as fully automatic with electromagnetic thread trimmer, electropneumatic reverse/backtack air compressor neded and foot lift,
Plus rapid stroke adjustment (HP) for climbing over thick sections. Driven by a German EFKA DC servo motor (typically DC1550/DC1600 class) with digital control panel/stitch box for precise programming and needle positioning.
Ideal for medium-to-heavy materials in furniture upholstery, automotive interiors, technical textiles, leather goods, and similar applications where reliable feeding of bulky or layered materials is required.
Key Features
- Triple transport system: Bottom feed, needle feed, and alternating upper walking foot for superior material control and reduced slipping on thick or uneven fabrics.
- Fully automatic functions: Electromagnetic thread trimmer, auto reverse/backtack (RAP), automatic sewing-foot lift, and electropneumatic rapid stroke adjustment (HP, knee-operated) for quick climbing over seams/thicknesses.
- EFKA DC servo motor + stitch box: Smooth, quiet, high-torque DC drive with digital operator panel (V810/V820 style or equivalent) for programmable start/end backtacks, speed limits, needle positioning, and easy parameter changes. Excellent low-speed control and energy efficiency.
- Single phase 220–240V: Standard household/industrial single-phase power (plug-and-play in most UK/EU settings).
- Adjustable walking foot stroke: Dial-adjustable up to 7 mm; speed automatically limited according to stroke height for consistent results.
- Large vertical hook: With safety coupling and integrated lubrication for reliable stitch formation with thicker threads.
- Robust construction: Automatic oil circulation lubrication, device racks in the base for quick attachment changes, and sturdy build suited to continuous industrial use.
- Air supply required: Compressed air needed for the pneumatic automatic functions (typical 6 bar operating pressure).
