Special Drupa Coverage — Bindery Plays A Crucial Role
Horizon added a new 10.4˝ color screen to its Perfect Binder BQ-270C along with a new, ergonomically situated digital caliper that measures book thickness and automatically conveys this data to the binder for immediate setup of all sub-stations.
The company showed a landscape-feeding version of its VAC-100 collator, called the VAC-80sa. The new format offers increased speed and avoids the rotation of 11x17˝ sheets for standard-size bookletmaking. Horizon also demonstrated a case binder, the HCB-2. It can produce up to 90 hardcover books per hour with one operator.
