A Grand Finish at drupa
The SigmaLine digital book solution headlined Muller Martini's product display at drupa, going from PDF to finished book in a single, integrated operation. The Connex data and process management system is the central control element of the SigmaLine, linking all production stages utilizing JDF and JMF. Also featured was the Alegro perfect binder, operating at up to 7,000 cph. It was complemented by Muller's latest three-knife trimmer, the Solit. Based on the success of the Orbit trimmer, this mid-range trimmer utilizes many of the same design elements, including the SmartPress adaptive pressing system, tool-less changeover in less than three minutes, and separate servo drives for all major areas.
