203 & 316 Saddlebinding Systems for Complete Book Production. 

Gathering folded sections, saddle stitching and 3 knife trimming in one pass

FEEDING:

  • The 706 6-Pocket Feeder handles individual signatures or pre-inserted signatures.
  • The stations hold a deep pile of stock and can be loaded on-the-run. Vacuum suckers and air blast assure smooth and accurate feeding.
  • The 706 6-Pocket Feeder is easily positioned over the front or the rear of the saddle plate.
  • Add an optional second (tandem) feeder and saddle extension to get 12-pocket collating.
  • Six top loading pockets permit continuous feeding of signatures or pre-inserted signatures.
  • Air blast and mechanical action opens and inserts signatures one inside the other. The collated signatures area placed onto the saddle stitcher.
  • Station bottom assemblies give support to lightweight paper stock, especially for 4-page and 8-page signatures.
  • Easily accessible valve adjustment for each pocket (318 only).
STITCHING:
  • Two to four stitching heads (Bostitch, Hohner or ISP) can be used. The optional Stitch-Tech detects any book missing a signature and diverts it to the stitcher delivery table without interrupting production.
  • Upto 4 stitching heads can be used at one time. Stitcher heads adjust for 2-1/8” minimum to 9-3/4” maximum spacing, centre to centre. Click to see enlargement
  • Electric eye and clutched heads prevent stitching unless signature is on the saddle.
  • Books can be straight or stagger stitched for easier stacking and boxing of completed work

TRIMMING:
  • Single book, shear action 3-knife trimming is extremely accurate. Each knife has its own built-in clamp, assures a square 3-edge trim.
  • The 3-knife trimmer delivers professionally finished booklets that are shingled onto a delivery table.
  • All three knives use shear action for square, clean cuts and longer life. Books are trimmed one at a time to ensure accuracy and eliminate nicking covers or splitting spines.
  • Several trimmer models are available to cover a wide range of finished sizes.
