Setup and operation can be done at
the touchscreen. Up to 999 job settings
can be memorized for repeat jobs,
special applications or job interruption.

2 FEEDERS SELECTION
BF-S300 Suction Feeder

BF-P300 Pusher Feeder

The infeed table can hold a maximum
pile of 300 mm / 11.81”. Efficient feeding
is performed by suction feed, handlinga wide range of books without special
adjustment. The BR-S300, optional code
reader (supporting 1D and 2D) enables
automated setup by barcode.

A maximum pile of 51 mm / 2.0" can betransported to increase productivity.
(When 5 books are stacked on the pile,
it is capable of producing 1500 books
per hour). The BF-P300 can be used for
inline configuration with a binder andas an offline feeder as well. A standard
equipped code reader (supporting
1D and 2D) for automated setup by
barcode.

5 DELIVERY UNITS SELECTION
Delivery Stacker

CV-300 Conveyor

The finished books are stacked on thedelivery stacker, which can accept amaximum pile of 300 mm / 11.81".

The delivered books can be piled up to
102 mm / 4.02" on the delivery section
for easy offloading.

Fore-edge of the book can be trimmed
at any angle. The rotary table on thetrim section enables finishing in avariety of shapes.

Smooth surface treatment and a rigid
gripper mechanism enables smoothtransport of a wider range of books
without marking for a high quality
finish.

Rigid cutting mechanism and servo
motor driven cutting table rotation for
sharp and accurate trim quality. The
cut direction of the knife changes toinsures that the knife is always cuttingfrom the spine to the fore-edge tominimize the possibility of chipping.
