STAGGERED STITCH

The staggered stitch (available as an option) reduces thread build-up along the book spine by alternating the thread position. It is especially useful when sewing thick books printed on thin paper.

LOW FOOTPRINT AND EASE-OF-USE

The unit features an extraordinary compact design, with a loading and unloading station only 1 meter apart and a footprint of just 4,3 sqm.

100% BOOK INTEGRITY

GigaLynx™ Dual Control is available upon request. The advanced vision system, located in the hopper, allows the reading of barcodes and images, and immediately identifies sequence errors allowing their correction. The position of the device is easily adjusted to allow the checking of signatures that differ only in a restricted area, like agendas.

PEACE OF MIND

Meccanotecnica and its branches have always followed a customer-centric policy. We believe in the importance of customer satisfaction and our after-sales teams are focused on meeting customer needs first. Moreover, machine strong reliability and outstanding up-time are guaranteed by the highest construction standard and quality resulting in higher production efficiency and a quicker ROI.

WEB CONNECTIVITY & INDUSTRY 4.0

Thanks to web connectivity, it is possible to oversee live production from everywhere by simply accessing your tablet, smartphone, or PC. The system is also integrated by an e-mail server that, if requested, notifies preset events.
