Esprit is designed to make short-run perfect binders perform more cost-effectively, while also offering affordable off-line trimming at the highest trim quality. The unit provides automated makeready, using strategically placed servo motors that speed up and simplify changeovers. A touch screen console with Programmable Logic Control (PLC) guides the operator step-by-step through the entire makeready process. Esprit produces at the top rate of 2,000 cycles per hour.
