PUR ‘Spine Cam’ and Nozzle Technology Ensures Consistent Glue Application
Heidelberg has newly-engineered its PUR gluing systems for the entire Eurobind perfect binding line and is now offering an innovative camera recognition system for the EB4000 perfect binder.
The enhanced PUR system for the Eurobind line uses a volumetric application system with a closed-loop gearing pump and nozzle-based applicator to ensure even application of glue to the book spine. The system efficiently regulates glue by opening the width of the glue nozzle based on the spine width of the book (an automatic adjustment). The operator can easily adjust glue start and stop length.
