Saddle-stitching System StitchLiner5500

Combining the efficiency and ease of operation of flat
sheet collating with the productivity, versatility
and quality of a saddle-stitching system.
The StitchLiner5500 is a pioneering new concept for the demanding
printing and publishing environments, bridging the gap between traditional
collating and bookletmaking and conventional saddle binding lines.
The Horizon StitchLiner5500 is an innovative
saddle-stitching system which incorporates flat
sheet collating, scoring, folding, stitching and
three-knife trimming in line.
The StitchLiner5500 provides user-friendly
operation, high productivity and versatility for
the on demand, production print, and trade
bindery environments.

StitchLiner5500 Features
At up to 5,500 booklets/hr., the quick-changeover StitchLiner5500 is ideal for short,
medium and long production runs. The interactive icon-based touch screen and end-to-end
automation allow even less experienced operators to achieve fast, easy job set-ups and
changeovers. Horizon’s 4-page signature concept eliminates the time-consuming
intermediate folding process required for 8- and 16-page formats. The U-shaped layout is
floor-space efficient and very convenient for the operator to monitor work in progress.
Collator : VAC-100
Up to six 10 bin VAC towers can be combined to create a
sixty-station collating system. Advanced programming
functions, double cycle mode and dual cover feeding, allow
you to reload the stations without interrupting the run for
maximum productivity and efficiency. The VAC-100 system
towers can be divided in any combination to deliver collated
sheets into the StitchLiner5500 system or high capacity
stacker at the left side, while collating straight sets into the
receiving tray on the right side of the system.
Collator : VAC-60H
The VAC-60H is a six bin suction collator, adding more
efficiency and productivity to the well-established VAC-100.
Expandable up to 6 towers to form 36 feed bins collating
system. 130 mm (5") pile height capacity is 2.4 times more
than the current VAC-100. Horizon’s original back support
guides enable the set-up of multiple bins together.
Stacker/By-pass Unit : ST-40
The ST-40 is a by-pass stacker connecting the VAC-100
system to the ACF-30. Errored sets are delivered to the
build-in reject tray for non-stop operation. Any purged sheets
in the reject tray can be manually processed via the hand
feed station. The ST-40 also serves as a high-capacity offset
or straight stacking device.
High Speed Off-line Feeder : HOF-30
The HOF-30 is a high speed sheet feeder for StitchLiner and
SPF-20/20A bookletmaker. The concept of the HOF-30 is to
merge digitally printed output with off-set printed output.
The HOF-30 can feed up to the speed of 27,000 sheets/hr.
An optional CCD camera is available for higher level
document integrity.
Accumulator/Folder : ACF-30
Sheets are accumulated by section, scored, plow-folded, and
delivered onto the saddle. The number of sheets per folded
section can be varied to insure a tight fold, depending on
sheet count, grain direction, or paper weight.
Saddle-stitcher : SPF-30
The SPF-30 can stitch a book up to 10 mm thick. An iconbased
touch screen on the SPF-30 sets-up and controls the
complete StitchLiner system. The StitchLiner5500 is
equipped with heavy-duty Hohner stitching heads for
accurate, reliable center stitching.
Three-knife Trimmer : HTS-30
The HTS-30 in-line three-knife trimmer provides complete,
high-quality three-sided finishing in one pass. All trimming
parameters are input at the centralized touch-screen with full
automation. An optional center-cut device provides for twoup
booklet production.

LCD Touch-screen
The complete line is set-up and controlled at the SPF-
30’s interactive icon-based touch screen. Each
finishing station -- the ACF-30, SPF-30 and HTS-30 -
- is automatically set-up in less than 30 seconds (A4
to A5 / 8.5" x 11" to 5.5" x 8.5") by simply inputting
the sheet size.
Up to 100 different complete jobs can be saved into
memory for instant job recall. Any production errors,
such as a jammed sheet or skewed fold are recorded for
easy viewing in the record/error window. This provides
complete system status at a glance for easy production
management.
Stitching
Booklets up to 10 mm thick (50 sheets of normal 80
gsm paper) can be stitched on the SPF-30 saddlestitcher.
The folded sections are jogged from the head
and foot, centered on the saddle by a centering
mechanism, and then stitched to produce accurately
stitched booklets. The stitch wire length is
automatically adjusted according to the book thickness.
The system comes equipped with two Hohner stitching
heads, and up to two additional stitching heads are
available as option. With the HTS-30’s optional centercut
device, the system can produce two-up booklets. An
optional loop stitching kit is also available.
Error Set Detect Sensor
Advanced error detecting sensors are
located throughout the system, to
identify for example booklets without
a stitch or a skewed fold. Only
correctly completed booklets are
delivered to the exit conveyor.
Staple Detect Sensor
Reject Tray
Only accurately stitched booklets are
transported to the three-knife trimmer.
Faulty sets are delivered to the reject

Stitching Head
Standard stitching head (#23 to #25-
thickness: 0.6 mm to 0.5 mm) and optional
stitching head (#25 to #27-thickness: 0.5
mm to 0.4 mm) are provided. Additional
stitching heads are available for up to 4
stitches per booklet with mounting block
B-30S. (3 stitches are available as factory option with mounting block B-30C.)
Center-Cut Device: CC-06/CC-08/CC-1/4
6 mm (0.24") standard center cut
(Max. book thickness: 3 mm / 0.12")
and 8 mm (0.31") center cut (Max.
book thickness: 4 mm / 0.16") are
prepared. Two-up booklet production
utilizing the center knives provides
efficient book production at 11,000 booklets/hr.
Loop Stitching Kit
An optional loop stitching kit can be
fitted to the standard stitching heads.
Preset Kicker: PK-30
According to a preset number input
on the touch-screen, a booklet is
skewed to easily identify and separate
the end of a series.
Cutting Waste Extractor: TB-30
Powerfully extracts cutting waste from
the three-knife trimmer.
Waste box is not included.
6-page Fold Program: SLRom6P
6-page fold sheet can be inserted to a
book with simple operation. Just
input the sheet size of 6-page fold on
the StitchLiner5500 and choose a bin
to pile through the VAC-100/60H
touch-screen.
High Speed Off-line Feeder: HOF-30
High Speed
The system feeds at a speed of 27,000 sheets/hr., using Horizon’s patented
rotary feeding system. Feeding speed is uneffected by sheet size.
High Pile
Pile height is 430 mm. 2 sets of feeding tray are provided as standard
equipment for maximum efficiency.
Stable Feeding
Horizon’s unique stream feeding system insures that sheets are fed consistently
and reliably. Sets are then accumulated and transported to the bookletmaking
accessories.
Versatility
When connected with VAC-series collators, the HOF-30 is a flexible finishing
solution serving both digital and offset printing. For digital work, the HOF-30
is a high-speed sheet feeder while the VAC-series collator provides cover
inserting. When the VAC-series collator is feeding offset work, the HOF-30
serves as a bypass conveyor and reject tray for nonstop production.
Dynamic
The HOF-30 has the capability to handle variable data applications. A mark
reader enables the HOF-30 to handle variable sheet count documents with
integrity and verification.
High Security
Opacity sensor: Miss-feed, double-feed or jam detection
Mark sensor: Page order detection (top and last sheet)
