A totally renewed range of machines for book
finishing during drupa 2012, on
MECCANOTECNICA Booth A47 in Hall 16
MECCANOTECNICA prepares for the drupa 2012 with a renewed
commitment in terms of product range upgrade and extension of its market
segment, where new products will find their ideal application.
MECCANOTECNICA has developed new technologies for digital print
finishing within the program UNIVERSE DIGITALINE and fully updated the
ASTER range of automatic book sewing machines with introduction of the
new models asterEVO – asterPRO and asterTOP that can satisfy all the
customers‘ needs.
MECCANOTECNICA has developed the UNIVERSE DIGITALINE
program, a new and complete range of machines which produce a
completely finished book starting from digitally printed single sheets,
through four steps as automatic sewing, pressing & endpapering, binding
and trimming.
Customers will have the option to buy the entire program or individual
machines as the "UNIVERSE SEWING" or the "UNIVERSE BINDING" in
their stand-alone configuration.
The UNIVERSE DIGITALINE series is the optimal solution not only for
publishing products as yearbooks, photo albums, event commemoration
books etc. but also for short runs as minor author novels, catalogues and
single encyclopedia volume reprints.
New range of ASTER automatic book sewing machines
The asterEL has been designed as "entry level" automatic book sewing
machine, either for those markets where sewing technology has to be
easily approached or as "satellite" machine able to support the production.
Nevertheless, asterEL offers the same basic features and engineering
quality found on larger models of the prestigious aster range.
Based on aster best seller models, the asterEVO, this new EVOLUTION
sewing machine will allow entry level customers to make one step forward
to best technology. It is a medium range machine featured with the latest
solutions aimed to grant high performance up to 200 cycles/min speed.

The goal: Excellence
35/2012 | 2012-04-15 | P.2/4
asterPRO has been designed with this goal in mind. It incorporates all the
cutting-edge technology used by MECCANOTECNICA for automatic book
sewing machines.
MECCANOTECNICA presents its most complete machine, its flagship. The
perfect balance between automated processes and precision, speed and
reliability. The ideal solution for all production needs.
asterPRO offers the new maximum spine size of 440mm or 520mm, with
speeds up to 200 cycles/min for both versions. asterPRO has all the
features – from the active thread cutting system and new conic head punch
needles to accelerator speed adjustment for each signature – able to
process any kind of products with customization and quality never seen
before.
The goal: Speed
asterTOP has achieved an extremely high sewing speed compared to 220
cycles/min of the previous aster models. It is the ideal solution when a
significant increase in output, using just one machine, is a "must". Perfect
for high performance gathering and sewing lines linked to a back-gluing or
finishing line.
asterTOP has three cam boxes: two for all the sewing movements and one
for the infeed. These allow to minimize vibrations and the need for
maintenance despite the high output speeds.
New motorization, permanent use of the sewing stitch closest to the
accelerator wheel, maximum 310 mm spine size: all features that
guarantee the paper to move as little as possible, without any increase in
paper stress, despite the machine speed is now significantly higher.
GIGALYNX – The new signature recognition system for bookbinding
machinery
The GigaLynx is a further development of the SignaLynx, the original
artificial vision system entirely developed by Meccanotecnica. Its purpose
is to check the correct signature sequence on the gathering machines
made by Meccanotecnica.
The GigaLynx is installed on the aster automatic book sewing machines,
the new UNIVERSE SEWING machine for digitally printed books and can
be retrofitted to many different kinds of bookbinding machines.
