Patented loop formation
The Ventura MC Book Sewing Machine cannot fail to impress, thanks to its patented thread-looping system which works with the aid of compressed air. This type of thread-looping system shortens changeover time quite considerably and therefore increases efficiency. The thread is blown from the sewing needle to the hook needle. 

The loop which is formed in the slot is picked up by the hook needle and drawn through the fold in the signature. The compressed air nozzles are arranged to the left and right of the sewing needle and can pneumatically move the thread loops to the left or right. For even higher capacity, binding can be completed without lock stitch with integrated thread sealing.

Quality control
The patented, optical scanning system built into the auxiliary saddle, checks the opened signatures form the inside for correct sequence and proper opening.

Clear, simple operator instructions
With the exception of the infeed hopper and the delivery stacker, all size-related book width settings are motorized and reproducible with the touch screen-operated Commander controls.
