LOCKSTITCH

Feed Gathered papers or book-blocks(sections) manually into the Thread Center Sewing head. The thread is cut automatically at the end of each section.
Then the section is turned upside down over the Belts and fed into the FULL COVER PASTING UNIT.
An operator feeds the Cover through Gluing Machine and collected by another operator who places the same on the section with the help of guides.
After pasting, the book is forwarded to FOLDmaster machine where it is folded in exact center and further forwarded to SQUARE for Edge Squaring, that shapes the book spine perfectly in 90 degrees even for 1000gsm, 400pages book.
Since the adequate pressure is given by folding rollers, there is no need to put the pasted section into the Hydraulic press. This saves Labour, time & Energy.

The squared book block is fed into the PRESTAR : Front Cutting Unit.
Then the book is fed into COPE for top/bottom trimming and separating. COPE is a programmable cutting machine that cuts the book with single knife while the book gets forwarded automatically. The cutting size for both cutting units can be set in the Touch Screen Panel. No need to shift knives individually, hence job changeover time for cutting unit is less than 1 minute.
Make ready time for the whole Line is 30-45 minutes for job changeover.
Any of these machines can be used offline as well as, can be turned on/off as needed.
