• The trim clamp and trimmer blade move forwards in one action to hold and trim
the book. The trim clamp and trimmer blade then return to their start position.
• Offcuts are pushed into the trim bin by flexible fingers on one of the trimmer
infeed conveyor shafts.
• Drive for the trimmer blade and the trim clamp is transferred from the main

Outfeed and Stacker
• When the trim clamp is released, a stepper motor removes the trim stop from
below the book.
• The book is moved out of the trimmer by the book eject belt.
• A conveyor moves the books from the PSQ160 and drops them on the catch
tray. An adjustable book stop makes sure the finished books stack correctly.
• There is an optical sensor in the outfeed to detect jams. This sensor prevents the
books on a full stacker from backing-up into the outfeed.
