DAF-1560D Direct Drive Double Needle Compound Feed Sewing Machine

Product Overview

The DAPSEW DAF-1560D is a direct-drive, double-needle compound feed lockstitch sewing machine designed for medium-to-heavy materials.

Its compound feeding mechanism coordinates the movement of the needle, feed dog and presser foot to help feed multiple material layers consistently during sewing. The double-needle configuration produces two parallel rows of stitches in a single operation, making it suitable for decorative topstitching, reinforced seams and other industrial sewing applications requiring parallel stitching.

The machine features large rotary hooks, an automatic lubrication system and a hook safety clutch. Its adjustable needle gauge allows customers to select the distance between the two needle positions according to their product design.

The DAF-1560D is suitable for leather goods, bags, sofa upholstery, automotive interiors and other medium-to-heavy sewn products.

Key Features

1. Double-Needle Sewing for Parallel Stitching

The machine uses two needles to produce parallel rows of lockstitches in one operation.

This helps improve production efficiency when two-row stitching is required for leather products, bags, upholstery and other industrial products.

Different needle gauge options allow the distance between the two stitch rows to be selected according to the required seam design.

2. Compound Feed for Consistent Material Handling

The compound feed system coordinates three feeding components:

Needle feed

Feed dog

Presser foot feed

Their synchronized movement helps move multiple material layers together, reducing unwanted shifting and supporting consistent stitch formation.

This is particularly useful for medium-to-heavy materials, synthetic leather, leather goods and multilayer upholstery products.

3. Integrated Direct-Drive System

The DAF-1560D features a direct-drive configuration for responsive starting and stopping and convenient speed control.

The integrated drive system supports efficient operation in industrial sewing environments.

4. Adjustable Needle Gauge

The machine supports multiple needle gauge options to accommodate different product designs and seam requirements.

The available gauges listed in the supplied catalog are 3.2, 4.8, 6.4, 7.9, 9.5, 12.7, 15.9, 19 and 25.4 mm.

The required gauge should be specified when ordering to ensure the machine matches the intended stitching application.

5. Large Rotary Hooks

The machine uses large rotary hooks to support industrial lockstitch sewing.

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

6. Automatic Lubrication System

The machine features an automatic lubrication system to supply oil to relevant moving components.

Proper lubrication helps reduce mechanical wear and supports stable machine operation.

7. Hook Safety Clutch

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

This is a useful protective feature for industrial sewing applications involving thicker or multilayer materials.

8. Adjustable Stitch Length

The standard maximum stitch length is 9 mm, with an optional extra-long stitch configuration of up to 12 mm listed in the original catalog.

The appropriate stitch length depends on the material, thread size and required seam construction. Confirm availability of the 12 mm option when ordering.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are based on the supplied TCF-1560D technical leaflet, with the product name adapted to DAPSEW DAF-1560D. Confirm the final needle gauge, stitch length option and configuration before ordering.
