Stitchmaster ST 450 Saddlestitcher from Heidelberg to Make North American Debut at Graph Expo 2006

Additional features include:

• Four back stops with sheet guides and two conveyor belts to ensure reliable positioning of signatures

• A larger-diameter takeoff drum to reduce bending of signatures for more stable transfer

• Separating suckers that are individually supplied with vacuum, such that if the vacuum for one ever fails, it will not affect the others. If a signature can’t be opened, it is ejected without halting the machine.
