Speed Up Book Production with SMYTH DX-70 Plus Sewing & Folding Line + Unwinder & Cutter

Smyth and Tecnau have launched a new partnership to produce a folding and sewing system with automatic feeding from a continuous roll for digitally printed books and catalogs. The solution unwinds, cuts, and stacks 4-page and 8-page printed signatures; these are subsequently folded and accumulated to form larger signatures which are then sewn together.

Thanks to the Tecnau Unwinder and Cutter, it is possible to process variable page lengths in total automation, without any operator intervention, and with a feeding capacity of up to 600 signatures/min.

Smyth’s DX-70 PLUS, with the folding system with (2) parallel pockets followed by the collating station, also permits the production of multiple 16-page signatures (a unique feature) printed on a single sheet, effectively reducing costs and production time while minimizing operator intervention.

The highly versatile system guarantees dramatic time and cost reductions during production while offering extreme ease of use, allowing the entire production process to be managed by a single operator. Able to meet the highest quality standards of sewed commercial print production even down to very short runs.
