iCE StitchLiner Mark IV Saddlestitcher
The iCE StitchLiner Mark IV Saddlestitcher is a
third-generation saddlestitcher from Standard Horizon that combines the
efficiency and ease of operation of flat-sheet collating with the
productivity, versatility, and quality of a traditional saddlestitching
system. All processes, including signature scoring and folding,
saddlestitching, and three-knife trimming are performed in one pass. The
Mark IV can produce a wide range of applications, including A4
landscape booklets and pocket-sized booklets.
- Production speeds:
The Mark IV can run at speeds of up to 6,000 booklets per hour for A4
portrait applications and 5,300 booklets per hour for A4 landscape
applications.
- True variable production:
Stitch length, balance adjustment, registration guides, trim size, and
more can all be changed automatically from booklet to booklet during
operation for true variable booklet production.
- Increased up-time:
The Mark IV can maintain production speeds even while in variable
thickness mode or when cover sheets are inserted. The Mark IV can also
run continuously even if a booklet with an error such as a dropped
stitch or sheet misalignment is detected by seamlessly rejecting the
booklet to a tray.
- Consistent quality:
The Mark IV can stitch booklets up to 10 mm thick (about 50 sheets at
50lb offset). Across all booklet sizes, the system’s scoring function
reduces cracking on the spine and allows for a tighter fold. Depending
on the substrate, the gap and scoring pressure can be adjusted for
consistent scoring quality. The sheet-alignment section of the Mark IV
features 4-directional jogging for a tighter jog and more accurate
alignment across stocks. Improvements to the Mark IV’s transport system
also allows for stable sheet transport across substrates, even for
coated sheets.
- Flexible configuration: The iCE StitchLiner Mark IV can be integrated with VAC series collators and the HOF-400 High-speed Sheet Feeder.
The feeding system and other optional devices can be configured
depending on your specific needs, including for offset or digital print
output. The Mark IV’s infeed height can be adjusted from 28.34” to
43.70” to allow for connections to various unwinders and cutters.
- iCE LiNK ready: The Mark IV is compatible with iCE LiNK, Horizon’s cloud-based information and diagnostics system.
