Tolerans, Swedish manufacturer and world leader of in-line stitching systems for newspaper and commercial printing is exhibiting at WAN-IFRA World Publishing Expo in Frankfurt. Tolerans is exhibiting innovative, value added solutions for newspaper publishers and printers, such as "Compact Stitch" and "Indexing". On stand E232, Tolerans invites printers and newspapers to learn more about how to increase the efficiency of the press in combination with adding value added functionality. This year Tolerans is co-exhibiting with DCOS Sweden, the rising manufacturer of automation and control systems.

Joint development

Tolerans and DCOS have been working together since 2009 and have developed the successful control system MARKIII for Speedliner 2.0 series. With the Speedliner 2.0 series, Tolerans has further strengthened the position as the world leader in in-line stitching.
"We have put a lot of effort into developing a system in which it is easy to change wear and spare parts without manual adjustments. With our control system MARKIII the stitchers are even easier to operate. The new graphical interface is very user-friendly and intuitive. This to ensure a "worry-free stitching process", says Jan Melin CEO at Tolerans.

Great demand for Speedliner 2.0

Tolerans has a long list of recent successful installations of Speedliner 2.0 such as News International Broxbourne and Knowsley, DNEX Bold Printing in Stockholm, German Rheinisch Bergische in Wuppertal, Mittelbayrische in Regensburg and the recent manroland press installations at Druckhaus Ulm-Oberschwaben in Ulm and Weingarten, Allgäuer Zeitung in Kempten, Finnish Kaleva Oy in Turku and Alma Manu Oy in Tampere, as well as the new GOSS CPS-press at DC Thompson in England.
