MW-610FS
Long-Format Booklet Maker with 3-Side Trimming
Built on the MW-610, it adds an in-line front trimmer that cuts the front edge in the same pass; top-bottom trimming to complete three-side trimming.
MW-610FS Booklet Maker
MW-610FS is the MW-610 platform with side trimming added, so the booklet is trimmed on three sides. The MW-610 is the long-format platform of the range: the same 340 mm width as the 480 / 490 / 530, built around a much longer sheet. The base machine stitches and folds; front trimming, 3-side trimming, cover feeding and collating are configurations of the same body.
3-Side Trimming
Fitted to the MW-610, the top-bottom trimming unit cuts the head and foot edges to complete three-side trimming.
Stitching + Folding
Hand-fed saddle stitching and folding in one machine.
Made for Tall Formats
A tall catalogue or magazine keeps its trim size instead of being split to fit a shorter machine.
Configurable
Front trimming, 3-side trimming, cover feeding or a collating system can be fitted.
Choose Your MW-610FS Configuration
One platform with different finishing and feeding configurations.
Core Finishing
Optional Feeding Solutions
Two alternatives, not a next step. Both are fitted at the feeding stage, before stitching and folding. FSC does not include the collating system, and FSP does not include cover feeding.

Before you enquire
What sizes of booklet can it make?
It takes flat sheets from 145 × 180 mm to 340 × 610 mm and delivers finished, folded booklets from 145 × 90 mm to 340 × 305 mm.
What stitching thickness can it handle?
It can handle a stitching thickness of 0.2 – 3 mm measured at the spine. The actual page count depends on the paper type and weight.
What paper can it run?
Sheet and cover from 55 – 250 g/m², so light text paper through to a heavy cover.
How fast is it?
Up to 4,500 books/hour, with 2 stitching heads working across the spine.
How many stitching heads?
It stitches with two heads across the spine.
What do the suffixes — FS, FSP — actually mean?
They are the units fitted to the same body; the base machine stitches and folds only. FS adds an in-line front trimmer that cuts the front edge in the same pass; top-bottom trimming to complete three-side trimming; FSP adds a collating system that assembles multi-page sets before stitching. FSC and FSP are alternative feeding solutions rather than successive steps: neither includes the other, and both are fitted at the feeding stage, before stitching and folding.
Which configurations does this model come in?
The MW-610FS does stitching, folding and 3-side trimming.
Is this a single-output machine?
Yes — in its standard form it is single output: one booklet per pass.
Which model should I choose?
Choose according to your sheet size, finished booklet size, paper weight, production volume and required finishing functions. If you are unsure, send us your specifications and we'll recommend a suitable model.
Can a base model be upgraded later?
Configuration options are available on the same platform. Please contact us to confirm the suitable setup for your production requirements.
What happens after I order?
Quoted lead time is typically 25–35 days. Every machine is tested before it leaves and packed for sea freight. Installation and operator training can be arranged — tell us what your team needs and we will include it in the quotation.
What warranty comes with it?
12 months on core components. Wear parts are consumables and are stocked as spares.
