Star product: Tecnau and Smyth roll-fed folding and sewing book solution: Turnkey solution for converting printed rolls into sewn books

摘要

What does the machine do? The solution essentially converts Smyth's sheetfed DX-70 Plus folding and sewing system into a roll-fed solution thanks to the addition of Tecnau's Unwinder u10 and a Cutter TC 7000 HS. It's able to produce digitally printed thread-sewn books directly from the reel. The system can feed printed rolls to the cutter, stacking the resultant sheets into four- and eight-page printed signatures that can be folded and accumulated to form larger signatures and then sewn together.
