TRIM&PERF

An extremely versatile and productive line which can incorporate one, two or three work stations for the manufacture of products up to 8 mm thickness, e.g.: diaries, calendars, notebooks, exercise books, children board books, which can be saddle stitched, square back or perfect bound. Ideal for operation in-line with sheet folders or saddle stitchers to perforate and/or cut (with or without trim out); or off-line with separate feeders.

UNRIVALLED TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

Maximum flexibility

• Handles any material from very lightweight stock up to 4 mm cardboard and plastic
• Punches, cuts, splits, die cuts and perforates using specific tools and blades for each task
• Punches and dies for perforating are interchangeable and can be re-sharpened
• Cutting tools are interchangeable and can easily be placed in any unit according to the product requirement
• Hole punching tools can be positioned according to the imposition of multi-up products
• Segmented corner tear off perforating blocks can accommodate any multi-up signature layout without the need to determine the print imposition in advance
• Machines independently synchronised by photocells without the need for interconnections; but other systems are available according to production line requirements
• Infeed belt table adjustable in height for easy connection with upstream machines
• Machine can be used as a conveyor, if removing it from the production line is not desirable

Superior quality

• The cutting and perforating tools are combined with pressing devices, which hold the sheets down before the perforating action, resulting in superior quality with the possibility to use very lightweight paper without any problem
• Single and dual (for trim out) blades cut against counter blades with the upper blade always overstepping the lower surface of the product, thus assuring a perfect cut
• The machines divide two-up signatures, with or without trim out, with a quality level superior to that of the rotary splitting knife action in folding machines
