DAF-1510D Direct Drive Compound Feed Sewing Machine

Product Overview

The DAPSEW DAF-1510D is a single-needle, direct-drive compound feed lockstitch sewing machine designed for medium-to-heavy materials and multilayer sewing applications.

The machine features a compound feeding mechanism that coordinates the movement of the needle, feed dog and presser foot. This synchronized feeding action helps move multiple material layers consistently, reducing unwanted shifting and supporting uniform stitch formation.

Equipped with a large rotary hook, an automatic lubrication system and a hook safety clutch, the DAF-1510D is designed for demanding industrial sewing operations.

The machine offers a standard maximum stitch length of 9 mm, with an optional 12 mm configuration. Its 255 × 105 mm working space provides clearance for handling a variety of medium-heavy workpieces.

Typical applications include leather goods, bags, sofa upholstery, automotive interiors and other medium-to-heavy sewn products.

Key Features

1. Direct-Drive System

The DAF-1510D features a direct-drive configuration for responsive starting and stopping and convenient sewing-speed control.

The integrated drive arrangement supports industrial sewing operations requiring controlled machine operation and efficient production workflows.

2. Compound Feed for Consistent Material Feeding

The compound feeding system coordinates three feeding components:

Needle feed

Feed dog

Presser foot feed

Their synchronized movement helps feed multiple material layers together, reducing unwanted displacement during sewing.

This is particularly useful for leather products, bags, sofa upholstery and other medium-heavy materials.

3. Large Rotary Hook

The machine is equipped with a large rotary hook designed for industrial lockstitch sewing.

The large-hook design provides increased bobbin capacity compared with smaller-hook designs, helping reduce bobbin replacement frequency during production.

4. Automatic Lubrication System

The automatic lubrication system supplies oil to relevant moving components during machine operation.

Proper lubrication helps reduce mechanical wear and supports stable operation during regular industrial use.

5. Hook Safety Clutch

The hook safety clutch helps protect the hook mechanism when abnormal resistance or thread jamming occurs.

This protective mechanism is useful when sewing multilayer materials and other demanding workpieces.

6. Adjustable Alternating Presser Foot Movement

The machine features an adjustment dial for the alternating vertical movement of the presser foot.

This adjustment allows the operator to adapt the alternating movement to different material thicknesses and sewing requirements, helping maintain smooth feeding over material transitions.

7. Adjustable Stitch Length

The standard maximum stitch length is 9 mm, with an optional extended stitch length of 12 mm.

This provides flexibility for different seam constructions and medium-heavy sewing applications.

The optional 12 mm configuration should be confirmed when ordering.

8. Industrial Sewing Performance

With a catalog-rated maximum speed of 2,500 stitches per minute, the DAF-1510D supports productive sewing operations.

Actual operating speed should be adjusted according to material thickness, thread size, seam requirements and operator experience.
