The Finishing Touch

The Best Osako 368AS AutoSet saddle stitcher features PLC touchscreen controls to automatically set stitch head positioning and chain timing in less than 15 seconds. The 12,000-cph Best Osako also lets users operate the machine manually if the PLC controls fail.

McCain Bindery Systems offers the McCain S2000 saddle stitcher, an expandable, full-format machine with a rated speed of 13,000 cph. Standard equipment includes movable feeders and an operator control module, which not only provides the operator with important machine function information, but also offers downstream shutoff and sequential start up.
