DeLuxe Stitcher M27 Series, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Page: 6 / 44

The DeLuxe Stitcher M27 Stitcher Machine is a multi-head stitcher designed to
accommodate both light and heavy-duty work, stitch both flat and saddle and is
recognized for being the highest capacity multiple head stitcher due to its ability to
reliably stitch any thickness of stock from 2 sheets to 3/4” (20mm).
The M27 accommodates both the Traditional Style 18D Head and the Side-Feed Style
G20 Stitcher Head. Up to four heads can be mounted along the machine’s 17” (43cm)
rail at a maximum distance of 13” (33cm) between Heads. Because either Head can
be used the recommended wire sizes for the M27 are: 20 to 28 gauge round wire
and 19x21-1/2, 20x24 and 21x25 flat wire. The M27 comes standard with two (2)
Stitcher Heads but replacement Heads can be added when an application requires it.
When ordering extra Heads, add the wire and crown size to the Head part number. For
example: G20MHD20241/2.

The M27 is easily adjusted from saddle work to flat work by tilting the 12” (30cm) x
33” (84cm) work table. An adjustable work guide and adjustable work stops are
easily attached to the work table and provide for accurate registering of flat work for
uniformly spacing the staples. In addition a work table extension is provided to
accommodate larger sizes of work to be stitched.
The M27 is foot-switch operated and belt driven by a 3/4 HP motor, making possible
operating speeds up to 150 stitches per minute. The motor is mounted on an adjust-
able bracket which can be raised or lowered to adjust driving belt tension. The driving
mechanism is thoroughly shielded, preventing the possibility of personal injury.
The M27 has a 14” (36cm) throat depth for either flat or saddle stitching. The work
table is approximately 35” (89cm) above the floor and there is approximately 1”
(25mm) clearance between the top of the work to be stitched and the protective
guarding around the stitcher head.
The M27 weighs 470 lbs. (213 kgs) net with two (2) Heads and the shipping weight is
approximately 570 lbs. (259 kgs). With the table installed, the M27 requires about 32”
(81cm) x 35” (89cm) of floor space.
Because of the length of the work table, the M27 must be secured to the floor to meet
CE stability requirements. Sound level readings at the normal operator position are
approximately 70 dB.
