DX-70 Plus
Folding and sewing system with automatic feeding
Smyth DX-70 Plus is a fully automatic modular system that enables the processing of digitally printed flat sheets into sewn books, collating into sections and automatic thread cutting. It is the ideal solution for the production of sewn books and catalogues composed of 4-page and 8-page inserted signatures.
The possibility of inserting also 8 page signatures into the system gives the advantage of optimizing the used printing area of digital printers, drastically reducing production costs.
Only one operator is needed to manage the whole process
Possibility of feeding B2 sheets also on 707 mm side
Large size automatic sheets feeder
Perfect folding quality and compact sewn books
Quick and easy changeovers
The system is composed of the New Automatic Inserting and Cross Folding station mod. PB, equipped with one buckle folder, connected in line with the new FX-70 book sewing machine.
mod.PB – Automatic Inserting and Cross Folding equipped with one buckle folder
Large size sheets feeder
Smyth DX-70 Plus comes equipped with a large size automatic sheets feeder to run B2 sheets (landscape or portrait) up to 720 x 720 mm.
One buckle folder
The system is supplied complete with one parallel buckle folder to produce 8-page signatures.
This feature allows to reduce the number of printing clicks, thus lowering the production costs of the sewn book compared to its conventional production in 4-page signatures, bypassing the cutting operation.
Inserting Station
It is positioned just after the folding unit. The inserting station enables combined collating of flat and folded sheets. Then, the sheets are aligned on both sides and transferred to the cross knife unit to perform the cross fold.
Cross Fold Unit
It is equipped with a brushless motor driven knife. This cross knife folds the inserted sheets by means of its vertical movement from bottom to top, preparing the signatures to be sewn. The resulting folding quality is excellent.
Patented Indexing System
The Indexing System is composed of two pneumatically driven plates that press the signature spine again, before being transferred onto the fix saddle of the book sewing machine.
