superior automation, user friendliness and consistent quality.

Product Video

BENEFITSPRODUCTIVITY AND LABOR SAVING
Easy changeover to achieve eﬃcient production
even with short runs. MiniCABS can be used byinexperienced workers by standardizing operations,
reduce labor costs while increasing eﬃciency.
SMALL FOOTPRINT
From gathering to ﬁnish trimming, MiniCABS is morecompact making it easier to operate and monitor
machine status.

2Computer Automated Binding System MiniCABS

VERSATILE CONFIGURATIONThis system oﬀers hybrid capabilities to produce
books for both oﬀset and digital printing workﬂows.
In addition to utilizing the system with signature
gathering stations, users can also integrate it withroll-to-bookblock or cutsheet-to-bookblock systems.
Incorporating an ESF-1000 End Sheet Feeder andGF-500 Gauze Feeders allows for inline case bind
preparation.

PRODUCTION FLOW

Stacking (SS-800)
Untrimmed booksare stacked.

Trimming (HT-80 / HT-300 / HT-1000V)

Binding (BQ-500)
Books bound with either coversheet or gauze (with GF-500).

Book Block Feeding (LBF-500)
Book blocks jogged
and fed into binder.

Books are trimmed.

Gatherer (MG-600)
Folded signatures aregathered into sets.
Docking Conveyor (DC-400)
Book blocks
change directions.

Stacking Conveyor (CVST-1 / CVST-1.5)
Shingle signatures for easy stacking
and gathering when producing
thick books.

Hand Feed Unit (HF-600)
Operators can hand feed extra
signatures for thick books.
