Morgana PowerSquare™ 224VF booklet maker

The Morgana PowerSquare™ 224 booklet maker – A unique and innovative system for digital and offset print applications.

The Morgana PowerSquare™ 224 booklet maker is a unique and innovative complete booklet making system for digital and offset print applications. It enables you to produce SquareBack™ books up to 224 pages – perfect for high paginations or heavier paper stocks. SquareBack books or booklets can carry print on the spine, just like a perfect bound book. They are easy to handle, stack and pack.

In a single machine the PowerSquare™ 224 booklet maker combines the four processes of stitching, folding, spine forming and trimming to produce SquareBack™ books up to 224 pages thick. It features fully automatic settings for different book size and pagination, including variable stitch-leg length for varying book thickness.

The maximum finished book thickness – 10.4mm / 0.4” (approx 208 pages 80gsm / 21lb bond, 224 pages 70gsm / 18lb bond), is double that of alternative conventional booklet making machines, so it is ideally suited to higher paginations or to thicker stocks. This makes the PowerSquare™ 224 a fast and cost-effective alternative to perfect binding or tape binding. Digital print applications frequently use heavier stocks and need the flexibility to produce a wider range of finished books from a single process, with little or no operator intervention – the PowerSquare™ is a perfect match.

    Static Stitching head

    Static stitching head and clincher gives consistent alignment and quality

    The Morgana PowerSquare™ 224 booklet maker has a single stitch head which inserts one to six stitches in the spine of the book. The stitch head and clincher are static, the sheets move to the stitch, not vice versa. This means the stitch head and clincher never have to be moved, so alignment and stitch quality is consistently good.

    Up to 6 staples can be applied to one set for 2-up or 3-up production, It also features fully automatic settings for different book size and pagination, including variable stitch-leg length for varying book thickness.
