The VIJUK 321-T compares favorably with higher-priced saddle stitching systems – and definitely includes more standard features of equal or better quality.
Makeready and changeovers are quick and simple with minimal material spoilage.
The stitcher is rated at 10,000 cycles per hour.
Its dependability is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

You have superior control with the advanced feeding system.
Pocket loading is easy with the horizontal feeders equipped with signature racks.
Feeding is at a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 with mechanical and adjustable vacuum-assist opening.
Cards and inserts can be fed without additional parts or attachments.
Three vacuum/blower units provide air blasts or suction to aid the precise and consistent feeding and placement of signatures on the saddles at high speeds.
The system can be equipped with up to ten feeder pockets – each with status light towers and start/stop switches.

A programmable quality control system provides consistent, high-quality production.
Each pocket is monitored by a double-sheet detecting caliper and missed- or dropped-signature photocells.
The system also has an oblique-sheet monitor, and an over/under caliper.
The catch tray is full length and in full view.
Irregular sets with double, missing or incorrectly aligned signatures or pages are diverted to a reject tray without stitching and without stopping the machine, thus saving production time and reducing spoilage.

The reliable cover folder feeder automatically scores, folds, and feeds covers in-line.
Regulated air blasts from three sides ensure trouble-free sheet separation and feeding.
It is adjustable on-the-fly for accurate scoring and folding.

Top-notch stitching is performed consistently.
Durable, dependable Hohner stitching heads are standard.
Flying stitch mechanism eliminates stop-and-go motion in the stitching process, minimizing product damage.
Up to four stitching heads can be incorporated for two-up production.

Safety is foremost
Clear hinged safety protective covers extend over all feeders and the stitcher unit to allow safe operation and monitoring of the process.
All safety protective covers and hinged parts critical to safe operation are outfitted with interlocking safety switches.
It is CE certified, affirming the highest of quality and safety standards.

The entire system is operated from a sophisticated user-friendly control panel.
The control box electrical panel contains the very best off-the-shelf German and Japanese electronic components.
Dependability is assured with the Mitsubishi PLC controller, Fuji Frenic inverter drive system and Siemens controls.

Heavy-duty trimmer is designed for operating ease and optimal production.
The hood is raised vertically to allow access from all sides.
Hand wheel adjustments enable quick makeready.
It has airblast waste removal.

Barcodes include: Intelligent Mail R, 2 of 5 Interleaved, Code 39, Code 128, POSTNET, PLANET, and Datamatrix 2D codes. It will store up to 80 logos and print specified logos per job.
The BitjetTM graphics print-head can image 2.13" the full length of cover in the direction of travel.
The Domino JetArrayTM ink jet prints up to 8 lines in a single pass.
When the two heads are integrated with a plow station, they will simultaneously ink jet the inside and outside of booklets through a WindowsRXP based controller.
Domino systems can be integrated with mail tables, web presses, label presses, bindery and finishing lines, and other equipment.

The OPTICAMERA SYSTEM will further optimize quality control. While on-the-fly, sensors automatically scan and store information from the first signature at each feeder. It compares that information to the following signatures fed in the pocket. If an incorrect signature is loaded, the machine will stop and a light at the feeder will indicate it is the place of the misfeed. OPTICODE SYSTEMS are available for barcode reading.
