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

Intelligent and Future-Safe
From job planning and preparation to job costing, the Stitchmaster ST 450 is seamlessly integrated in the Prinect workflow from Heidelberg. The ST 450’s JDF-capable control system accepts presetting data from prepress and makes it available to the entire production line. After a product’s dimensions have been entered, the machine automatically sets itself: the feeders, the stitcher, the trimmer infeed, the trimmer and the compensating stacker all automatically travel to the right positions for the job simultaneously. The gathering chain is automatically synchronized with the stitcher, and the feeders with the chain. In the stitcher, the wire feed length is adjusted to the product’s thickness, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual adjustment. For repeat jobs, stored data is easy to retrieve using a job manager.
