Histroy of 71008R rope sewing machine

The first generation of extra bar tacking machine was born in 2006. A climbing rope manufacturer in north of China has 20 sets of Adler 266-1 heavy duty zigzag sewing machine, for rope end backing. Very low efficiency and seam quality. They found us in 2003, and requested a sewing automation. Inspired by Durkopp Adler 506-3, our engineers spend over 3 years to computerize the 204-370 heay duty lockstitch machine. It is the prototype of 71008R bar tacking machine. In March of 2006, a technician who have 30 years of experience with Durkopp Adler industrial sewing machine visited us, improved the design.
