StitchTech Monitoring System

The StitchTech system replaces the Caliper and No Book/No Stitcher system shown in the 203C Stitcher Manuals.  The StitchTech is a superior option for any Rosback SaddleBinder System.

There are two operating elements in the StitchTech monitoring system.   The first is a caliper that checks each booklet for missing signatures.  If a missing signature is detected, the 203C Stitcher will not stitch the detected booklet.  The second unit scans the booklet for a stitches.  The Bindery System will continue running even though a booklet is missing or incomplete.   The booklet will continue passing through the 203C Stitcher unstitched and be automatically ejected onto the stitcher delivery table.

The StitchTech monitoring system provides continuous production and reduces stock waste.   Rejected books that are missing a signature are easily recovered unstitched.   If a malfunction occurs in the Feeder, any booklets arriving at the 203C Stitcher will be rejected, alerting the operator to the problem.  Once the malfunction has been corrected, the operator will not have to clear any booklets missing signatures within the Feeder and along the Saddle Ridge.   When restarted, the 203C Stitcher will reject all booklets missing signatures until complete booklets are found by the StitchTech caliper.  Normal production automatically resumes.
