High QualityScoring Accurate sheet registration, scoring and folding. In-line plow fold mechanism eliminates unnecessary folding steps.

Stitching The folded sets are jogged from the head and foot, then centered on the saddle by the centering mechanism before the heavy-duty stitching heads produce accurately stitched booklets.

Trimming Precision automated knife positioning and in-feed provides for accurate booklet registration and three-knife trimming.

High SpeedMaximum production speed is 6,000 booklets per hour (depending on application). An advanced interface maximizes the upstream system effi ciencies.

Variable Data HandlingPersonalized and variable page count applications can be handled. The in-line confi guration insures sheet-to-sheet integrity.

Flexible InsertionAn intelligent cover feeder enables fl exible insertion of up to 5 sheets plus cover anywhere in the booklet.

Easy OperationEasy and intuitive operation is achieved with touch screen control. No specialized operator skills are needed to set up and operate the system.

1. Finishing Device for Digital PrintDigitally printed sheets are fed reliably with care from the HOF-400 to the saddle-stitching system. A standard mark sensor enables variable sheet count documents to be handled with integrity and verifi cation.

2. Finishing Device for Offset PrintA VAC series collator can be connected in line, for processing conventional offset printed work.

3. Various Modular OptionsThe HOF-400 is compatible with a wide variety of system confi gurations such as sheet feeding, cover feeding, accumulating, bleed trimming, and center creasing depending on your needs.

1. Signature Book/Job ProductionEach job is processed one by one. Making it easier to schedule and control jobs. The sheets are folded into a signature by the folder. This process makes it easier to handle the sheets for more effi cient production.

2. Variable Size FinishingThe same sized book blocks can be fi nished to various fi nished sizes without changing the setting on the folder by reading unique codes on each book. The changeover of servo motor is done quickly to match the various sizes.

3. Job TrackingSignature order and complete book block at the folder delivery, cover and book block match at the infeed section to binder, and fi nished books at the trimmer exit are verifi ed by barcode verifi cation.

4. Consistent Workfl ow with Pre-pressThe pXnet bindery control system accepts JDF setup data and quantity from the pre-press workfl ow to automate and manage the binding process.

1 Infeed SectionA book block separation mark is read at the infeed section to create book blocks. The sheet length measuring function detects improper folding and faulty signatures are diverted.

2 Spot-gluing SectionThe glue is applied on the head and foot of the signatures to secure the book block. Glue tacking is within the trim area.

3 Book Block Accumulate and Press SectionThe signatures are accumulated into book blocks and separated one by one by a separation mark. This uniquely designed system includes a pressing station to set the glue and enables book block delivery at a maximum speed of 2,000 cycles per hour.

1 Infeed SectionBook blocks can be fed automatically with proper timing that is synchronized with the speed of the perfect binder. This will reduce human intervention and increase productivity.

2 Operation ConsoleA single operator can start or stop the binder at the operation console.

3 Buffer FunctionThe buffer section is available to feed the book block with proper timing. The book blocks are stopped temporarily during the changeover and the book blocks are automatically advanced after change-over is completed. The upstream devices from the Book Block Feeder can operate continuously while down stream is stopped for changeover.
