Uniplex, gathering and sewing line, integrates the gathering of printed signatures to the book sewing process. This is the ideal solution to minimize production and labor costs thanks to the elimination of non-productive processes such as storage and transport of pre-gathered signatures. The line is a combination of 4-station gathering modules (MX4) connected to one automatic book sewing machine such as asterPRO, asterPRO/52, or asterTOP. In a compact configuration, Uniplex can be operated by just one person thanks to the short distance between the loading and unloading stations.
