BENEFITSHIGH PRODUCTIVITY
The BQ-500 excels at and is the most productive binder
for book-of-one production. In addition, productivity is
increased on longer runs with decreased set-up timeand improved system eﬃciencies.
HIGH QUALITY
A uniquely designed template feature produceshigh quality books even with a non-skilled operator.
Knowledge from a skilled operator can be stored incustom templates to produce consistent high quality
books by any operator.
EVA & PUR
The BQ-500 supports both EVA and PUR hotmelt glue.
Two different tanks are available and interchangeable
for each glue type.

The 12.1 inch color touch-screen is
icon-based for user-friendly operation.
Setup, operation and fine tuning canbe done at the touchscreen.
Ergonomically designed slide operator
console for operation eﬃciency, withloading and operation from either theleft or right side.

Customized templates can be createdaccording to desired book quality,
paper type and other factors. These
customized templates can be createdby a key operator or manager who
controls the quality. Once a templateis created, the operator just selects thedesired template to setup the system.
This enables any operator to produce
consistent quality books with improved
production efficiency and greater
quality control.

6 COVER REGISTRATION SECTION

A rigid clamping systemholds the book block firmly inposition during the milling andnipping process to produce
a quality finished book. The
safety curtain ensures risk-free
operation.

After transport to the nipping
section, the cover is registeredprecisely with the fore-edge
guide and tail-edge positioning
guides.

3 MILLING SECTION

7 SCORING SECTION

Powerful servo motor
driven milling and notchingmechanism mills the spine of
the book block or signatures for
optimum glue penetration andadhesion. Milling rotation speed
can be adjusted automaticallyaccording to book thickness and custom templates. Milling
depth can be adjusted from 0 to 4 mm or 0” to 0.157”.

The scoring width andposition are automatically
set-up according to bookblock thickness and coverregistration. Scoring is
performed on thick covers for
professional binding with sharp,square spines and hinge scores.

4 GLUE TANK SECTION

8 COVER FEEDING SECTION

Dual application rollers andside gluing rollers ensure
superior glue application to thespine and excellent adhesion of
the cover for consistent quality
binding. Glue roller height,
wiper opening and cut-off
timing, scraper roller height, and side glue roller width areautomated.

The high capacity cover feedstation has a maximum pileheight of 150 mm or 5.9” forcontinuous binding operation.
The cover feeder can handle
a wide range of covers: Bond
Paper 81.4 to 302.4 gsm andCoated Paper 104.7 to 348.9 gsm.

5 NIPPING SECTION

9 BOOK DELIVERY SECTION

A strong rigid nipping
mechanism and positive jogging
guarantees precise alignmentof the cover to the book blockand square spines. Nipping
width, height, operating timeand delay time are adjusted
automatically according to book thickness.

Uniquely designed delivery
eliminates damage to the spine.
Even 65 mm or 2.56” thickbooks or PUR bound books canbe delivered without damage or
marking.
