Heidelberg to Introduce a Host of New Products for Postpress at drupa

At drupa, Heidelberg and POLAR will show the new BC330 book trimmer that is ideally suited for digital book production in combination with single clamp perfect binders, such as Heidelberg’s Eurobind 600. The BC330 is capable of cutting books from raw sizes of 4-3/4x 6˝ to a maximum of 12x13˝ with a thickness per cut of 2˝. Multiple books in a lift also can be cut, improving productivity to a maximum of 240 blocks of books per hour.

Cutting Automation
POLAR also will launch a new version of its “N” series guillotine cutting systems. Evolving from the highly successful X series cutters, “N” series cutters from 78cm (30˝) to 176cm (69˝) incorporate all of POLAR’s industry leading technology, including hydraulic clutch with worm gear drive design with either a 22˝ (N Pro) or 18.5˝ (N Plus) color touchscreen display. These cutters combine POLAR’s latest networking capability to drive cut programs from impositioning software in prepress directly to the cutter through CompuCut 5.0.
