Performance description 2 Performance description Sewing machine 610 The Dürkopp-Adler 610 is a sewing machine for pre-ruffing and sewing on tape. The tape is supplied automatically to the fabric support surface by a tape unwinder. Sewing machine 630 The Dürkopp-Adler 630 is a sewing machine for pre-ruffing sleeves (sleeve crowns) with grading logic.
• Switching from manual sewing to automatic sewing. 2.6 Tape unwinder (610 only) • With the tape unwinder, the 610 sewing machine can be used to tape armholes, necklines etc. • The tape feed guides the tape automatically during sewing. The tape unwinder makes it possible to sew the tape without ten- sion.
