Saddle Stitching Machines — Saddling the Right Machine

Makeready Saves Time

The makeready presets on the machines is what drew Smith's interest. "The preset makeready feature reduces time significantly. Makeready is primarily accomplished with data input at the console to set-up the entire gathering, stitching, trimming and stacking line. Settings are saved for repeat work," he reports. "The pockets are very flexible to run different configurations. We run at the maximum rated speed of 14,000 bph frequently to reduce production costs and to shorten the production cycle time."
