Adhesive Binders — Short and Sweet

Standard Finishing debuted the new Standard Horizon CABS 5000 computer-aided binding system at PRINT 01. With a higher level of automation for the 5,000 books-per-hour class, the CABS 5000 employs innovative, error-free setup techniques.

The CABS 5000 is equipped with a digital caliper for fast, accurate book size input, but the system is also CIP3 compliant, so it's ready to directly receive digital setup data when printers are ready to serve up this data. Advanced error detection is also provided in two areas: The signature gathering stations are outfitted with CCD cameras to guard against the wrong or incorrectly loaded signatures. Post binding, a weight checking system automatically diverts any error books.
