MÜLLER MARTINI AG - Your strong partner

Bookbinders dream of deep stitched book blocks and each signature correctly positioned – even at maximum production speeds. The Ventura MC 200 thread sewing machine makes this dream come true. Books with spine lengths ranging from 120 to 510 mm can be manufactured in both oneup and multipleup production runs. Many of the settings are automatic and jobs are easily reproducible. The commander touchscreen provides operators with a practical and quick overview of production data. The twopart sewing saddle, servodriven positioning of the signature and thread loop formation using blow air are just some of the features that ensure that the Ventura MC 200 produces the highest quality book blocks economically.

The SigmaLine lll connects digital printing and print finishing into one unique complete system, allowing fully automated production in one pass – from the PDF file to the gathered book block, even for VDP production down to print runs of one copy. With web widths between 20” and 42” and power of up to 1,000 fpm (305 m/min), it is the most flexible, efficient and costeffective system for digital printing applications on the market.

Hardcover production is featuring an increasing number of short runs. Digitally printed books and booklets are also increasing in the area of thread sewing. Therefore, bookbinders need a machine that combines digital printing with tried and tested art of book binding. The Ventura MC Digital is the ideal solution. It stands out thanks to its proven Ventura MC technology with an upstream pocket folding system and processing folder. This is a new standard for the performance, flexibility and quality of the booklet!

The Presto II Digital saddle stitching system enables new saddle stitching options and, in combination with digital printing, makes it possible to tap into new segments. The system enables customized magazines, catalogs and teaching materials, as well as personalized print products to be produced efficiently to high quality standards, down to print runs of one copy with variable product thicknesses. The Presto II Digital can be precisely configured for both offset as well as digital printing.

Low print runs, such as reprints of books, are produced very efficiently in the highest quality with the Diamant MC Digital – whether they have rounded spines or straight spines.This allows the economic production of smallest jobs down to copyofone.

The Alegro Digital perfect binder can be used for the perfect binding of digitally and conventionally printed products and for hybrid production. The Motion Control Technology comes into its own in the Alegro Digital and enables the precise setting of the various units to the product parameters from book to book.

The FlexLiner inserting system stands for reliable and trendsetting insert marketing for newspaper and mailshot producers. The size range, from smaller than A4 up to Nordisch newspaper format as well as a wide variety of product openings such as low folio lap, suckers, or air blades, guarantee a wide and flexible range of applications for newspaper, mailings, and magazine production. The inserting system in the midrange segment enables you to expand your product range by introducing new ideas and groundbreaking business models.

Falling run sizes, short order workflows, a large number of orders in the system – these are all aspects of Industry 4.0 and mass customization. This results in new customer requirements and new requirements call for new solutions. Processes must be networked, systems linked, the production status clear at all times, machines integrated in business solutions, etc. Muller Martini’s Connex workflow solution is the answer to these new requirements. Connex modules connect production equipment with the main control systems via standard interfaces. “Just in time” evaluations and production feedback are only part of the solutions. We network not only all of our own production lines via our modules but lines from other suppliers as well.
