Inline premium quality book production from the printed roll. The paper is fed to the thread sewing machine from the Unwinder UW8 and through the Cutter CS6-HS. The Universe Web book sewing machine performs several processes on the fly. These are creasing, folding, collecting folded sheets in 8, 12, 16 or more pages to form one signature, as well as stitching and output. All process steps are executed one after each other. The book blocks are then fed into a multifunctional book production solution. In this machine, the hardcover preparation is performed by applying cover sheets and gauze or in the case of paperback production, with the softcover. The solution is completed by the three-knife trimmer, that features automatic size change without changing parts.
