969 | The H-TYPE single needle lockstitch cylinder arm machines with XL barrel shuttle hook

The H-TYPE 969 by Dürkopp Adler is a specialized sewing machine designed to meet the growing demands of extreme sewing applications in the technical textiles industry. It addresses challenges such as extreme material thicknesses, large thread sizes, and the need for high productivity in modern production processes. The machine sets a new standard for heavy-duty sewing with its robust construction, powerful triple feed, innovative drive technology, and modern design. Notably, it features exceptional performance parameters, including impressive stitch length, foot stroke, sewing speed, and maximum penetration force, ensuring both efficiency and effectiveness in demanding sewing tasks. The H-TYPE 969 PURE, ECO, and CLASSIC models offer significant advantages for heavy-duty sewing tasks. All models ensure excellent stitch patterns and consistently tight stitches, even with extremely thick threads up to Nm 5/3. They feature a large clearance of 420 mm (1,000 mm in the longarm version) by 225 mm high, making it easier to handle large workpieces. The machines provide up to 12 mm long stitches for assembly and decorative seams, and the sewing foot lift of up to 30 mm facilitates the feeding and removal of bulky materials. High productivity is achieved with the XL barrel shuttle hook, which offers 70% larger bobbin capacity compared to standard hooks, and the alternating top feed of up to 12 mm ensures safe maneuvering over varying material thicknesses. The ECO and CLASSIC versions include additional features like an integrated, motor-driven bobbin winder, DAC classic control with a multifunctional panel, and an electronic needle positioning system. The CLASSIC version further adds advanced features such as a robust thread trimmer, electropneumatic sewing foot lift, automatic backtacking, an integrated LED sewing lamp, and a maintenance indicator, with a maximum sewing speed of 1,250 stitches per minute.
