Page 3: Product Description
Product description Designated use Die DÜRKOPP ADLER 579 is an automatic sewing machine designed for sewing buttonholes in light to medium-heavy material. Such material, which is generally made of textile or synthetic fibres, is used in the clothing industry. This sewing machine can also be used to produce so-called technical seams. - Page 4 The use of step motors confers great versatility. No use of control – cams. One-pedal operation for the following functions: – - close/open clamps - switching on the sewing process - rapid halt with needle lift Pneumatically-operated thread-trimming system with short drive –...

Page 5: Subclasses
Subclasses 579-112000 With short trimmer for the upper and bobbin threads. The bobbin-thread trimmer is located in the throat plate, enabling the thread to be severed very close to the material. For taper, round and cross tacks. Can also be used for double-chainstitch eyelets in conjunction with appropriate sewing apparatus. -
