A Muller saddle stitcher is a machine used in the printing and binding industry to produce saddle-stitched booklets and other similar printed materials. Saddle stitching is a common bookbinding method where the pages of a booklet are folded and stapled along the spine (or saddle) to create a finished product. The term "Muller" refers to Muller Martini, a well-known manufacturer of printing and binding equipment.

Here are the key components and functions of a Muller saddle stitcher:

1. Feeding Stations: The machine has multiple stations that feed the printed sheets into the system. Each station can hold a stack of sheets that are collated together to form the complete booklet.
2. Collating Section: As the sheets are fed into the machine, they are collated in the correct order to ensure the pages are assembled properly.
3. Folding Section: The collated sheets are then folded in half to create a spine along which the stitching will occur.
4. Stitching Section: The folded sheets are moved to the stitching section where staples (often referred to as stitches) are driven through the spine to bind the booklet together. This is typically done with wire staples.
5. Trimming Section: After the booklet is stitched, the edges are trimmed to ensure a clean, uniform finish. This step removes any excess paper and ensures the booklet has straight edges.
6. Delivery Section: The finished booklets are then collected and stacked for packaging and distribution.
