IV. STITCHING SYSTEM

1. Outline
The stitching system "stitches" the center of a deposited stack with staples.
To enable stitching at two locations on a stack, two stitcher units (front, rear) are used, each
stitcher being equipped with a stitcher home position sensor (PS4, PS2) for detection of position
and a stapler sensor (PS3, PS1) for detection of the presence/absence of a staple.
The stitcher base is designed so that it may be drawn out to the front from the saddle stitcher for
replacement of the staple cartridge or removal of a staple jam. The stitcher unit in sensor (PI16S) is
used to make sure that the stitcher base is properly fitted to the saddle stitcher.
No safety switch is mounted for the stitcher unit (front, rear), as the location does not allow
access by the user.
