Pitney Bowes announces saddlestitcher ‘breakthrough’

The mailroom technology manufacturer’s integrated saddlestitcher combines the speed of Pitney Bowes‘s continuous roll-feed and cut-sheet inputs, the control of Pitney Bowes direct connect software and the productivity of the saddlestitching system.

The system also includes a Horizon ACF-30 Accumulator/Folder, SPF-30 Saddlestitcher and HTS-30 Trimmer.

According to the company, this allows production of booklets containing personalised or confidential information from continuous or cut-sheet stock. It is even possible to merge individually printed content pages with personalised covers, it said.

Direct Connect software monitors and controls every stage of the booklet assembly process. Pitney Bowes claims this guarantees the correct pages are combined to form accurate booklets every time.

The full range of Pitney Bowes inputs can be used in conjunction with the saddlestitcher, including the API 50C, which can deliver up to 50,000 sheets an hour from a continuous roll feed, and the API 36S, which delivers 36,000 sheets from cut-sheet stock.

The SPF-30 features a centralised automatic set-up, which controls all of the finishing stations.

In addition, the unit can stitch collations of paper up to 5mm thick to produce booklets 10mm thick. The stitching wire length is automatically adjusted according to the booklet thickness.

The HTS-30 three-knife trimmer provides three-sided finishing in one pass. Optional centre-cut devices allow for two-up booklet production allowing up to 11,000 booklets per hour.
