Horizon iCE StitchLiner Mark V Saddlestitcher

• Individual creasing and scoring: Dual creasing rollers at the in-feed crease every sheet individually before they are folded and accumulated, making tighter, flatter booklets and increasing fold accuracy. Individual sheet creasing and stream folding eliminates the need for sub-setting on higher pager counts, increasing productivity for booklets as high as 200 pages.
• Stable sheet transport: A newly designed sheet register allows for more stable transportation of a wider range of paper stocks, including very thin stocks, and a redesign of the accumulating section significantly reduces static build-up between pages, ensuring continuous production.
• No manual touchpoints: Variable production on the Mark V is fully automated, requiring no operator intervention whatsoever. The system can automatically change stitch length, belt and roller pressure, and registration control in the trimmer based on page count.
• Optional cover feeding: The optional dual-bin cover feeder merges covers into the print stream without affecting production speed. Additionally, up to three dual-bin feeders can be combined in one system allowing for the pre-staging of covers and the option to interpose up to 3 sheets anywhere within the booklet. This feeder can also function as a digital feeder to expand production capabilities.
• Intelligent tracking: The Mark V’s tracking system ensures booklet integrity with optional barcode reading, cover and book block matching, sheet separation verification, and automated rejection of booklets with detected errors.

HIGH QUALITY
Newly designed saddle-stitching system achieves high
quality booklet production at a high speed. The sheets
are tightly folded along the accurate scoring lines made
one by one for consistent quality production without
any special skill.

HIGH PRODUCTIVITY
Newly developed sheet transport system enables
smooth and stable transportation of thin sheets at a
high speed. The system can produce 6,000 booklets
per hour at maximum.

VARIABLE DATA HANDLING
Variable page count applications can be handled
without any operator intervention. The in-line
confi guration insures sheet-to-sheet integrity.

FLEXIBLE INSERTION
The optional cover feeder CF-50D enables fl exible
insertion of up to 3 sheets in the booklet. The top-feed
mechanism enables smooth sheet insertion of a wide
variety of sheets.

FORMAT EXPANSION
