NOTE : Difference of Nipper Movement
Nipping unit has two different movements, with milling binding mode and signature bind-

ing mode. In with milling binding mode, nipper plate raises at first and then front and back
nipper jaws nip stock. So, this binding mode is suitable for binding milled stock or cut sheet
stock. In signature binding mode, nipper plate and two nipper jaws raise and nip stock at
same time. So this binding mode is suitable for binding signature which spine is shaped
thicker because of folded edge. Book spine will be formed too sharp or destroyed when
spine is pressed at first as in with milling binding mode. Binding quality or book spine
shape bound with signature binding mode is not affected so much by folding.
