Automatic book sewing machine: the solution for layflat books when speed is a must

asterTOP has shattered any speed record with its 18.000 cycles/h. It is the ideal solution when the top output is a “must”. Perfect for high-performance gathering and sewing lines.

The automatic book sewing machine features three cam boxes: two for the sewing and one for the feeder. These devices minimize vibrations and maintenance despite high output speed.

The secret of this model is increasing the speed by lowering paper stress. This has been achieved thanks to a new driving system, a new feeder squaring station and particularly by lowering the feeder speed and reducing the head register transfer.
