Heidelberg) signed over the 100th Stitchmaster ST 400 gang-stitcher to Buchdruckerei Lustenau in Austria in December 2003.
Bindomatic's latest in-line document finishing system employs an edge-gluing system to ensure that all sheets drop into a solid adhesive that is reinforced with a book-binding cloth.
Each cover is scored four times and then pre-folded.
Covers are available in a wide variety - from Classic Antique and Classic Imperial, to Traditional Portfolio, Ambassador and Millennium, along with custom covers.
The Bindomatic 301 DFS system's key features include perfect-bound documents with no trimming required with the first book produced in two minutes.
After initial set, the binder runs at the rated speed of the printer, with a maximum output of 1,800 books per hour.
It has continuous-run operation with auto-tray switching and load-while-running capabilities and no mechanical changeovers are needed between sizes or jobs.
It can also bind output from other printers using an offline bypass slot and it eliminates manual labour whilst improving turnaround time.
Heidelberg's Parallel Interface, which enables the Digimaster system connectivity, is a small black box that 'talks' to the digital front end of the print system, sending an electronic signal to the marking engine about the device the piece will be finished on.
It is easily programmed for integration of the Bindomatic device with the Digimaster system.
It also provides connectivity of the Digimaster to other finishing devices to support a range of applications.
The Heidelberg Parallel Interface to the Bindomatic system will be made available simultaneously with the availability of the Bindomatic 301 DFS in June 2004.
Bindomatic has been trading since 1974.
Its headquarters is located in Stockholm (Sweden), with subsidiaries in Germany, the USA and Portugal.
It has independent distributors in around 40 different countries to manage sales and distribution in the rest of the world.
