What’s The StitchLiner Production Process / Workflow?
|
Automated set-up is performed via a user-friendly centralized touch-screen control panel. Job changeover
for the full line is performed in under two minutes. After the operator inputs the job information, the system calculates
and sets the position for size and register, scoring and folding, stitcher heads & clinchers, stitch wire length, the
gap of the spine-pressing rollers, and positioning for head, foot and face trimming knives.
|
|
Sheets are fed and collated from the SpeedVAC towers. Up to six towers can be used. A set of
up to 10 sheets advances through the ST-40 to the AFC-30 accumulate and register module,
where it is jogged and advanced through scoring and creasing rollers for tight, accurate folds. The folded signatures
are dropped onto a saddle in the SPF-30, and remaining sub-sets (if any) are delivered on top. Note:
Sub-set count affects production speed; booklet thickness may limit two-up production.
|
|
When all sub-sets have been assembled and registered, the saddle conveys the complete block to the stitching area. After
stitching, an advanced error detection system automatically rejects any errored booklets. The booklet is then conveyed
through a set of steel spine-pressing rollers in the HTS-30 Trimmer, where it is first face trimmed, then
advanced for head and foot trimming. If the system is outfitted with optional center-cut knives for two-up production,
this occurs on the same stroke as the side trimming.

|
Professionally finished one-up or two-up three-side trimmed booklets are presented to the exit conveyor, which can also be
equipped with an optional batch kicker.
