Bindery Automation — Operator Friendly

There are material-handling benefits to be gained in the cutting area, as well, notes Gary Markovits, president of E&M Bindery in Clifton, NJ. The company's primary services include mechanical binding, perfect binding, folding and tabbing.

Speeding to the Finish
"We installed a Polar cutter with the Transomat system from Heidelberg USA," Markovits explains. "The system automatically palletizes items being cut. It keeps products rotated correctly and automatically rejects bad pieces. Adding this equipment has sped up our cutting operations by 30 to 40 percent."
