About this machine

The Heidelberg Stahl ST 350 M Book Binder is a used book binding machine, dating from 2010 and currently located in Germany. Book binding equipment of this kind — sometimes referred to as a stitching machine or saddle stitcher depending on configuration — is used in the printing and publishing industry to assemble and fasten folded or gathered signatures into finished booklets, brochures, catalogues, and bound documents. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the global printing industry, manufacturing a broad range of press, finishing, and post-press equipment for commercial and industrial print operations.

This machine is equipped with Hohner / Stahl ring eyelet stitching heads with a diameter of 6 mm, configured to the Modell 52-L6 specification, and includes a clincher box and fold presser. The stitching heads are supplied with optional changeover part sets covering a variety of staple back lengths, eyelet diameters, and wire types, making this one of the most flexible and versatile stitching head configurations available on the market.

The unit is rated for speeds of up to 20,000 stitches per hour, supporting high-throughput production environments. An exceptionally wide range of staple types is supported, and the availability of optional interchangeable parts for different stitching and wire formats makes the machine highly adaptable across jobs while keeping tooling costs down.

Wire length and stitch thickness can be centrally adjusted in seconds, and wire length setting is tool-free, simplifying changeovers and reducing operator downtime. The stitching heads feature an aluminium housing, and the design is described as operator-friendly throughout. A bolt-on, extremely narrow and robust hold-down device is also included as part of the configuration.
