Product Description

Overview

Quality of Finish, Size, Cast, Camber, Tensile, Path of Wire, Spool Sizes, and De-spooling Equipment are all major factors in how stitching wire is going to perform in the field. With the continued demand for increased run speeds and overall profit, high quality stitching wire and proper machine setup are a must. Stitching wire is a low carbon steel with a zinc galvanized or tin coating. Stitching wire is used in side stitching, saddle stitching, corner stitching, booklet making, and inline stitching in press applications.

Feature

*Protection of the stitching head by a strongly adhering zinc coating without a layer of dirt.

*Low frictional resistance due to optimized surface structure and technical lubrication.

*Trouble-free processing due to constant mechanical properties.

*Good corrosion resistance due to environmentally friendly coating.

*Perfect penetrating power due to limited manufacturing tolerances.

*Clean wire - never cross-wound: Eliminates costly downtime.

Path of Wire

A clean path for the stitching wire from the spool to the stitching head is critical in getting a positive stitching outcome. The stitching wire coatings can be easily chipped, scraped, and damaged by running the wire past an unprotected steel bracket, worn wire guides, spring tubes, and dirty felt pads. These areas must be checked frequently and rotated or replaced on a regular schedule. Wire guide springs and felt pads are a normal wear part on any stitching head. Flat spots on guides and springs along with a dirty felt pad wiping system can cause flaking issues that will jam your stitching head, stop production, and cause additional maintenance and repair costs.
