Durkopp Adler 967

Heavy Duty Lockstitch Flatbed

A robust H-TYPE flat-bed single-needle lockstitch machine engineered for extreme heavy-duty sewing applications across technical textiles, leather goods and upholstery. The 967 series combines powerful feed, high penetration force and a large XL shuttle hook for exceptional performance on thick materials and bulky workpieces.

Heavy-duty lockstitch performance: Excellent stitch pattern and consistently tight seams, even with extremely thick threads up to Nm 5/3.

High productivity: XL barrel shuttle hook with ~70 % greater bobbin capacity boosts run lengths and reduces thread stops.

Generous stitch range: Maximum stitch length up to 15 mm for assembly and decorative seams.

Bulky material handling: Up to 30 mm sewing foot lift and large clearance under the arm, facilitating the feeding/removal of oversized workpieces.

Advanced feed system: Powerful material feed and alternating top feed up to 12 mm overcome high ply differences.

Industry 4.0-ready control: Integrated sewing drive with DAC classic control and multifunction panel (OP1000).

Ergonomic features: Electronic needle positioning (“Jog-Dial”), electropneumatic foot lift, and integrated LED sewing light.

Variants available: PURE, ECO and CLASSIC configurations with options such as automatic backtacking, motor-driven bobbin winder, and long-arm versions.
