Why Choose Signa 5K
Modular Flexibility
Scale from 4 to 20 stations to match your growing print workloads without equipment change.
BSRS (Bindwel Signature Recognition System)
Detects missing or multiple signatures, low piles, and misalignment with high accuracy sensors
Efficient Feeding & Delivery
Uses suction + gripper tech for signature separation and delivers stacked output in vertical zig-zag format.
Minimal Downtime
Manual feed station and tool-free changeovers streamline operations during high-volume production.
Operator-Friendly Interface
Touch-screen HMI and PLC control for intuitive machine management and data access.
Optional Add-ons for Versatility
Side stitching capability (non-emphasized) using hohner® stitching heads for jobs that require it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a signature gathering machine?
A signature gathering machine automates the collation of folded printed sheets (signatures) into a correct sequential order before bookbinding. It ensures accuracy and speed, replacing manual processes and reducing misprints or missing pages.
Can I expand the number of stations later?
Yes. The Signa 5K is modular and can be expanded from a base of 4 stations up to 20 as your business scales.
Does it only work offline?
No. The machine supports both offline and inline operations depending on your workflow setup
How does BSRS work?
BSRS uses a combination of optical sensors and electro-mechanical calibration to detect missing, duplicate, or misaligned signatures in real time.
What’s the advantage of optional stitching?
Side stitching (optional) is helpful for certain applications where glued binding isn’t preferred. This is a value-added option and not emphasized in default setups.
