DURKOPP ADLER 550-867

The DURKOPP ADLER 550-867 is a sensor upgrade kit for sewing machines. It includes a new thread tension PCB, thread guide, thread lever protection, and BTSR sensor. The new PCB replaces the old one, and the new thread guide, thread lever protection, and BTSR sensor are installed on the sewing machine arm.

The DURKOPP ADLER 550-867 sensor upgrade kit improves the performance of the sewing machine by providing more accurate thread tension control. This can lead to improved stitch quality and reduced thread breakage. The new BTSR sensor also helps to prevent thread breakage by detecting when the thread is running out. The kit also comes with a threaded procedure sticker that provides detailed step-by-step on how to thread the machine with the new sensor installed.
