1. Product description
1.1 Description of proper use
The 745-34-2 is a sewing unit which can properly be used for sewing
light to medium-weight material. Such material is, as a rule, material
made of textile fibres or leather. These materials are used in the
garment industry.
In general only dry material should be sewn on this machine. The
material must not contain any hard objects.
The seam is generally made with core thread, polyester fibre
or cotton threads.
The dimensions for needle and hook threads can be taken from the
table in chapter 2.4.
Before using any other threads it is necessary to estimate the
consequential dangers and to take the respective safety measures, if
required.
This sewing unit must only be installed and operated in dry and
well-kept rooms. If the sewing unit is used in other rooms, which are
not dry and well-kept, further measures to be agreed upon may
become necessary (see EN 60204-31 : 1999).
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 usual operations and, where applicable, their risks are
presumed to be known.
1.2 Brief description
The Dürkopp Adler 745-34-2 is a sewing unit for automatic
runstitching of piped, flap and welt pocket openings with rectangular or
slanted pocket corners.
The slanted pocket corners result from the seam offset of the two seam
rows. At the seam beginning and seam end it is possible to sew with
different slants.
Dependent on the working method different feeding devices, corner
knife stations and optional equipment are used.
Machine head
–Twin needle lockstitch version
–Needle bars can be switched separately or together
–Large vertical hooks
–Externally driven center knife, speed and circuit timing
programmable
–Thread trimming device for needle and hook threads
–Needle thread monitor
–Photoelectric remaining thread monitor for the hook threads
–Sewing drive as DC direct drive

Step motors for the material feed and the length adjustment of the
corner cutting device
The step motor technology results in short machine times and
guarantees an absolutely precise corner incision.
Thus, it contributes to a pocket quality as yet unequalled and combined
with high productivity.
New generation of “DAC III” controls (DÜRKOPP ADLER Control)
The graphic user guidance exclusively occurs via internationally
comprehensible symbols and text lines in the corresponding language.
The various symbols are combined in groups within the menu structure
of the sewing and test programs.
The ease of use makes short training times possible.
The user can combine 99 freely programmable pocket programs with
up to 20 seam patterns.
20 pocket sequences can be called up.
Every pocket sequence can be combined of up to 8 pocket programs in
any order whatever.
All slants suitable for practical application can be programmed by the
operator at the touch of a button.
The time-consuming adjustment of the corner knives and the tiresome
programming of seam offsets are not required.
The comprehensive test and monitoring system MULTITEST is
integrated in the DAC.
A microcomputer does the control tasks, monitors the sewing cycle and
signals operating faults and malfunctions on the display.
Optional equipment
By means of a flexible system of optional equipment the sewing unit
can be equipped optimally and economically corresponding to the
respective application.
See chapter 1.4 (Equipment of the 745-34-2).
Sewing equipment and folders
Data concerning the sewing equipment and folders for the various
applications can be taken from the Equipment Sheets of cl. 745-34.
Please direct your enquiries to the DÜRKOPP-ADLER sales offices.

2.4 Needles and threads
Needle system: 2134-85
Recommended
needle size: Nm 90 for thin material
Nm 100 for medium-weight material
Nm 110 for heavy-weight material
High sewing security and good sewability are achieved with the
following core threads:
–Two-ply polyester endless polyester core-spun
(e.g. Epic Poly-Poly, Rasant x, Saba C, ...)
–Two-ply polyester endless cotton core-spun
(e.g. Frikka, Koban, Rasant, ...)
If these threads are not available, the polyester fibre or cotton threads
listed in the table can also be sewn.
Often two-ply core threads are offered by the thread manufacturers
with the same designation as three-ply polyester fibre threads
(3cyl.-spun).This causes uncertainty with regard to twisting and thread
thickness.
When in doubt, unravel the thread and check whether it is twisted 2- or
3-ply.
The label no. 120 on the thread reel of a core thread corresponds e.g.
to the thread size Nm 80/2 (see table values in brackets).
In case of monofilament threads you can use needle threads and hook
threads of the same thickness. The best results are achieved with soft
and elastic threads (software) of the thread thickness 130 Denier.
Recommended thread sizes:

The needles are freely accessible.
–Loosen screw 2 and remove the needle from the needle holder 1.
–Push the new needle into the drill-hole of the needle holder 1 as far
as it will go.
ATTENTION!
Seen from the operator’s side the hollow groove 4 of the left needle
must point to the left and the hollow groove 5 of the right needle
must point to the right (see sketch).
–Tighten screw 2.
ATTENTION!
After changing to another needle size the needle protection on the
hook has to be readjusted (see Service Instructions).

Caution: Danger of injury!
Switchthemainswitchoff.
Thread the needle threads only with the sewing unit switched off.
The threading of the needle threads is done in ascending numerical
order as shown in the illustrations opposite.
–Swing the folding station aside
Left needle
–Put the thread reel on the thread reel holder.
–Thread the thread from the thread reel through the drill-hole 1 of
the thread reel holder.
–Guide the thread through guide 2.
–Guide the thread through the drill-hole in the support plate 3.
–Guide the thread through guide 5.
–Guide the thread through the tension discs of the needle thread
tension 6.
–Guide the thread through the thread controller spring 8.
–Guide the thread through the upper drill-hole in the support plate 10.
–Thread the thread through the upper drill-hole in the thread lever 17.
–Guide the thread downward through the thread puller 16.
–Thread the thread through guide 15 and the needle thread monitor 14.
–Thread the thread through guide 12, through the drill-hole in the
needle holder and through the eye of the needle.
Right needle
–Put the thread reel on the thread reel holder.
–Thread the thread from the thread reel through the drill-hole 1 of the
thread reel holder.
–Guide the thread through guide 2.
–Guide the thread through the drill-hole in the support plate 3.
–Guide the thread through the tension disc of the needle
thread tension 4.
–Guide the thread through the guides 5 and 7.
–Guide the thread through the thread controller spring 9.
–Guide the thread through the lower drill-hole in the support plate 10.

2.6 Winding the hook thread
The external winder makes it possible to wind the hook threads
independent of the sewing operation.
–Remove remaining thread from the bobbin hubs before winding.
–Put the thread reel on the thread reel holder.
–Thread the thread through the drill-hole 1 of the unwinding arm
(see picture on the left).
–Guide the thread through guide 4.
–Guide the thread through the bobbin thread tension 2.
–Prewind the thread to the right in the front and back reserve
grooves of the bobbin hub.
The full reserve grooves guarantee a secure winding, even with
monofilament threads.
With the thread reserves in the reserve grooves the pocket opening
can safely be finished after the remaining thread monitor has
indicated that the bobbin is empty.
The reflecting surface 5 of the bobbin hub is to be kept clean.
–Press the bobbin retainer 3 against the bobbin hub.
The winder starts.
After reaching the set bobbin filling level the winder shuts off
automatically.
See Service Instructions for setting the bobbin filling level.
