The Sigma Trimmer makes use of the digital solutions technology of the SigmaLine as the first fully integrated industrial-grade total solution for digital book production, and with the new offline solution of the three-knife trimmer it gives graphics companies flexible application options.
The final format for each book is read in individually during infeed with a barcode scanner, and all settings are made automatically.
Because the knives on the SigmaTrimmer are permanently mounted and the products are moved towards them on a turntable, books in an extremely wide range of formats, sizes and print runs can be trimmed at up to 1000 cycles per hour without interruption (zero make-ready).
According to Muller Martini the solution is ideal for:
- Printers with a mixed job structure
- Printers that want to enter the digital printing market with smaller machines
- Printers that print books using both digital and offset processes
- Printers with small print runs (down to one run) because they frequently trim a wide variety of final formats from just a few standardized raw book formats.
Muller Martini is presenting the solo version of the SigmaTrimmer – as well as a combination line consisting of the SigmaBinder, SigmaTower and SigmaTrimmer – from September 11 – 14 at Graph Expo in Chicago.
