Entry-level solution
The ideal option that combines ease-of-use with a truly advantageous investment
Patented Smyth 4D feeder
Guarantees care and reliability as well as handling all paper and signature types
Integrated lap opening device
Facilitates opening signatures with lap (even with variable lap size
Mixed vacuum and pressure heading up system
For the perfect head alignment of inserted signatures on the mobile saddle
Signature locking system
To ensure stitches are perfectly centered on the spine of the signature
Compact sewn book
With any type of paper or signature
Feature
Signatures are transported in a shingled stream by means of geared belt.
Advantage
Contact time with the vacuum openers on the paper is doubled to ensure each and every signature, regardless of type, is opened with extreme precision, care and control.
No risk of the paper fluttering when the signatures are transported at high speed (especially with lighter paper weights).
Feature
The suction cups carry out a combined movement:
Moving forward in the same direction and at the same speed as the signatures to increase their contact time with the paper.
Transportation speed gently opens the signature edge.
Advantage
Fifty percent reduction in signature transportation speed compared to a conventional system. This ensures a gentle smooth movement to open the signatures even when the paper is porous, highly perforated or if there is static electricity.
Feature
Signatures are positioned at an angle to their direction of travel.
Advantage
Signature opening extremely reliable thanks to the precision with which the signature is positioned on the fixed plate and from there guided onto the fixed saddle.
Integrated lap opening device
In addition to the 4+4 openings managed by the suction cups, the machine can also process signatures with a lap facing the same side or in ``come and go`` mode. The process is managed electronically, which allows even signatures with an uneven lap or shorter inserts to be opened smoothly and easily.
Reforming wheels
The three wheels that comprise the signature spine reforming system ensure that the back is completely opened, the signatures centered precisely on the mobile saddle, and the sewing stitches perfectly aligned.
Kicker wheel
The kicker wheel automatically manages system speed according to signature weight and thickness. In the event of particularly lightweight paper, the acceleration speed of each individual signature on the saddle can be programmed and managed.
Locking system
The mobile saddle is equipped with a signature locking system. This system holds the signatures in position at the top of the saddle and assures the exact centering of the stitches on the spine

Heading up unit
A vacuum and pressure system facilitates heading up on the inserted signature head side. When there are no inserted signatures, the vacuum is turned off and the heading up unit works with the pressure system.
Operator interface
A 12`` touch screen located on a pivoting arm allows the operator to manage operations from both sides of the sewing machine. Programming and diagnostics are carried out from an OMRON PLC.
In-line connection
The standard sewing machine is supplied ready for a future in-line connection to a Smyth P12 series gathering line. The modular design of the UNIT and CONCEPT gathering and sewing lines allows all Smyth automatic sewing machines to be purchased individually and later integrated into the line.
Helix device
Designed to allow any type of signature or paper to be loaded onto the fixed sewing machine saddle from the feeder smoothly and reliably, while controlling operations to ensure the signature is kept open.
Manual safety guards
Manual safety guards are ergonomically and functionally designed to provide operators with clear visibility of the entire production process and easy access to the thread stitching plate.
