1. Highly accurate automated set-up is performed with simple and easy
operation.
2. Book production of up to 6,000 books per hour can be achieved.
3. Both EVA hotmelt and PUR hotmelt can be used by using the interchangeable melt tanks.
4. EVA tank provides exceptional glue application, even at high speed,
thanks to 3 application rollers and 1 scraper roller on the EVA glue tank.
5. Two milling stations provide a versatile range of spine milling preparations. The system can also produce string-shaped milling powder foreasier recycling.
OptionBook/Cover sheet size input interface (SI-17)
All necessary setups can be automatically performed by reading thelength of the actual book block andcover, instead of having to manually input the size data into the operation
panel.

Cover feeding section
Rotary style cover gripper holds the cover firmly forstable cover feeding. Any misplaced covers are detected by a image checking camera, and any double-feeds
are detected by a super-sonic sensor. Covers can beloaded while running.

OptionGauze feeder unit (GF-17)
When making bookblocks for case binding
books, the GF-17 cuts
the gauze to the appropriate length before
feeding.

Cover feeding / Scoring section
The cover scoring wheels
can create up to 4 scorelines, and can be automatically set-up according to thebook thickness.

Delivery section

Nipping section
A superior nipping system exerts powerful nipping pressure to create strong, durable
binds with sharp spine corners. Nipping pressure canbe adjusted during operation.

4

Book blocks are delivered smoothly from the clamper tothe delivery section. Cover registration is checked oneach book during delivery. If a registration error is detected, the book is automatically rejected to the optional
reject conveyor.

Melt tank section
Three application rollers promote superior penetrationof hotmelt glue into the book for stronger binds. The
glue tank can be separated
into two separate sections
so that two different glues
can be used for enhanced
binding quality. Side glue
adjustment is done throughthe touch panel display.

OptionMelt tank unit for EVA glue
Melt tank unit for PUR glue (Open drum)
Interchangeable melt tanks-allowboth EVA hotmelt and PUR hotmelt
to be used.

Milling section
Pressing rollers apply firm pressure to the book blockand clamper for accurate milling. 2 milling stations prepare the book spine for enhanced binding quality. The
system can also produce
string-shaped milling powder
for easier recycling. The
notching pitch can be also
adjusted through the touch
panel screen.

OptionPre-Melt Tank (PM70)
Glue is pre-melted in a separate, high-capacity tank (70liters) and fed into the glue tank as needed.

OptionSide glue supply unit (TM-17)
Operator Console
2 large color touch screenson the SB-17 provide simple
and easy operation. All
necessary set-ups can be
performed through the touch
panels.

In-feed Section
Gathered signatures are checked
by a height detecting sensor, andinserted into the clamper while
being jogged. A4 size landscapebooks can also be bound using theHand Feed.

The side glue tank is automatically replenished when the level drops below acertain point.

Connected delivery section
OptionStack stream unit (SS-110)
Bound books are transported into the stream stack orientator (SS-110) to accumulate a predetermined numberof books (up to 100mm) for trimming in HT-110. SS-110
is set-up automatically according to the setting data fromHT-110. Fine adjustment is performed through a large
touch panel display. The speed of the conveyor to HT110 is also adjusted automatically.

OptionWeight checking unit (WD-17)/Book rejecting unit (RU-17)
The weight checking system detects any books that are
missing a cover or signature, and delivers the erroredbooks into a reject tray.

1. Highly accurate set-ups are performed with easy and simple
operation.
2. Trimming cycle can be adjusted in 13 stages from 400 to 1,600
cycles/hour. By accumulating 4 books at once at the Stream
stack orientator, productivity 6,000 books per hour can beachieved.
3. Rigid framing and durable structure provides the utmost intrimming accuracy.
OptionOperation Console

Chip Extractor (TB-100)

The trimmer is simple and easy to operate, with all necessary settings performed
through the large, iconbased color touchscreen. If
the system has an error, theerror type and location are
indicated for quick resolution.

The three-knife trimming
waste is extracted by thechip extractor.

In-Feed section
A pressing unit in the in-feed section
compresses the books to remove airfor reduced bulk and accurate trimming.

OptionPlate for trimming for each size
Clamper plate and Cutting table foreach size are available as options.

Chuck plate recognition device

Trimming section

LED lamps light up to indicate which chuck plate issuitable for each book size. Replacement of the chuckplate is fast and easy.

The height of each knife and the angle of the fore-edge
knife can be adjusted through the color touch screen during operation. Trimmings are blown away from the knife
by strong air nozzles mounted on the knife holders.

PUR

Strong, Environmentally Friendly PUR Solution
Polyurethane Reactive, also called PUR, is a polyurethane adhesive attracting attention for binding strength and eco-friendliness.

Strong and Lay-Flat Binding

Durable against Temperature

As the printing industry diversifies, there is growing demand forbinding with color sheets. EVA hotmelt glue has difficulty binding
coated stock firmly, and does not currently enable acceptable lay-ﬂat
binding. However, PUR hotmelt glue can provide adequate binding
strength and lay-ﬂat quality for both offset and digital prints.

PUR hotmelt glue retains durabilty and ﬂexibility inboth high and low temperatures. The temperature
resistance for PUR hotmelt glue ranges from –20
to 120 degrees Celsius versus 0 to 60 degrees
Celsius for EVA hotmelt glue. This allows PUR
bound books to be handled in almost any climate
or location.

PUR hotmelt glue provides the best page spread compared to
traditional EVA hotmelt glue. High binding strength allows forthe application of a small amount of glue, allowing the pages tolay ﬂat when the book is opened.

Ecology
PUR adhesive is environmentally friendly, allowing
PUR-bound books to be recycled. PUR also has
a lower melting point (120 degrees celsius) than
EVA for operational energy savings.

pXnet system

Manage your bindery with JDF enabled control system.
The Horizon pXnet Bindery Control System is used as a central control
point to schedule work, send job data to each finisher, monitor status offinishers and collect production statistics from finishers in real-time. pXnet
brings efficiency and value in high-mix/low-volume production environments where frequent job changeovers are needed.
The pXnet system can also be interfaced with an existing workﬂow for
automated JDF set-up.
