This type of saddle-stitching device has a platform stacking type with an operating speed of 25,000 cph and can add up to 30 feeding units. It also features a state-of-the-art riding system with two counter-rotating saddle-stitcher sliders that double the riding speed and reduce vibration.

The three-sided cutting table also has certain improvements. It can cut products with a maximum thickness of 13mm at the fastest speed. The entire equipment is under the control of the latest Müller Martini Automation Platform (MMAP) platform and can fully implement CIP4 integration. Other options include packing, roller feeding, sample applicators, cover machines, addressing system options, inserts and plastic film packaging systems, and stacking systems.

2. Horizon I2i workflow

At the Horizon booth, we will see the most exciting of the products of online binding production, I2i, which has been exhibited at Ipex as long ago as it stands, can not be regarded as a new product, but the effect of Drupa's presentation More exciting.

The Japanese post-processing equipment manufacturer has developed a JDF-powered perfect binding system, B1 and B2 format folding machines and saddle-stitched linkage lines, all of which can be controlled on one central workstation. Although industry insiders are still skeptical that CIP4 soon penetrates into post-processing, Horizon's demonstrations allow visitors to realize that when this technology operates in an optimized environment, it can indeed save time and labor and increase production. effectiveness.

The equipment on display was a CAB5000 wireless glue-binding linkage line containing 12 feed boxes, 15 board clamps, and a three-faceted knife cutting system. AFC-744AKTSC/TST B1 format folding machine, BQ-270 single plate folder perfect binding machine, and StitchLiner with multi-station saddle stitching device with three-faced knife.

3. Polar X and XT Paper Cutters

Polar's Generation X Paper Cutter was the limelight at the Heidelberg booth. It was heavier and stronger than the E and ED models. The 72cm and 92cm models had a deeper front desk. It has a latest feature called the Optiknife cutter replacement and adjustment system that makes cutter replacement easier and allows the operator to adjust the blade at the lower cutting position instead of at a higher position. Now This has become a norm. Polar claims that this can double the life of the blade.

In addition, the most intelligent part of the X and XT cutters is the P-Net option, which provides full Ethernet connectivity, which means it can be used as a central server to automatically set up peripherals. For example, an automated filer is one of its peripheral devices and is exhibited at the show.

4. Duplo DC-645 SCC Book Maker

The Duplo DC-645 SCC bookmaker is a very important device for digital finishing. It consists of a DSF-2000 sheet feeder, SCC (Slit/Cutting cut/crease) unit, DBM-500 bookmaker, and a DBM-500 three-sided cutter with unique points. The cutting/cutting/indentation function brings great convenience to the bookmaking process.

The device can mainly solve two problems in digital color post-printing processing. First, the SCC unit cuts and trims the head and foot of each page, and the CCD camera locates the image and provides full bleeding and trimming. Instead of processing the physical size of the paper, this means that the image's offset can be corrected.

The second feature is the indentation module, which can effectively prevent paper from breaking when folded. The device has two transfer trays for inserts.

5. Plockmatic 1000 FeederPro

For those who come to Drupa for digital finishing equipment, the Plockmatic booth is worth a look.

At this exhibition, Plockmatic launched the 1000 FeederPro product, a book-making system featuring a vacuum collation (also known as a smart transfer system), which means that the post-processing equipment can simultaneously process different printing equipment. The output page. It can first grab pre-made pages from a digital printing device and then combine them with non-sequential pages from offset or digital copying devices. Each of FeeferPro's towers has 8 feeders and can extend the device to three towers, so there can be up to 24 feeders.

This device is positioned in large and medium-sized commercial printing plants, larger internal printing companies, on-demand digital printing plants and even some larger printing companies.

6. Rima System's RS 400 HS stacking robot

Rima System displayed the most advanced version of their products at the show, the RS400. This is a robot system that runs on four axes and operates at a speed of 1200 books per hour. It features a variable gripper technology that can stack loose pages with different frame sizes and Bundling and packing. Its configuration is very flexible and can stack one to four items on one or two pallets.

The RS400 is implemented under the control of Paletti, a graphical interface controller that integrates related functions, generates various packaging plans, stores orders, and makes calls when needed. The robot can also be combined into JDF's networking project. Other automated modules such as pallet dispensers, slip sheet feeders, and pallet transport systems can also be optionally installed.

7. Wohlenberg Upgrades Champion E Binding Equipment

Champion E wireless binding equipment has been widely praised, positioned in the digital printing market, the first to enter the new field beyond the traditional offset printing market.

The entire production line was set up in just 15 minutes, and Wohlenberg also upgraded the equipment to automatic trimming and added a newly designed collection device.

8. MBO Combi Folding Machine and K 800.2/6 SKTL Wireless Binding Equipment

MBO is a well-known German folding equipment manufacturer. They exhibited the Combi folding series with a high degree of automation and the K 800.2/6 SKTL wireless binding equipment. The K 800.2/6 employs a new type of stacking station, the Vaculift, with touch screen panel controls and uses MBO's Vivas system to control vacuum transfer and alignment travel.

In addition, Rapidset technology is used to set the station, station head, paper table, bending plate, and paper deflection device, folding roller, separation tray, folding knife and horizontal and vertical stop points. Fully automated operation.

Other new features include a folding knife with a horizontal MBO-X drive system. The paper completes a series of actions under the control of the system, regardless of the size of the paper.
