Recent developments in post-press processing

Technological advancement meets the needs of users As the printer that provides customers with services from beginning to end, the most efficient and advanced finishing system is the inevitable choice. Following is a brief review of the newly introduced products of various companies in 1999: The General Binding Corp's automated final product division of General Binding Corp introduced the PerfectBinder 2220 bookbinding machine, which can bind 200 volumes per hour, from two sheets to 50 mm in thickness. . The time for machine replacement is only 1 minute, which is suitable for short-run print on demand. It also has the characteristics of electric paper clamping, automatic adjustment of the pressure, built-in filing system, daily maintenance, and a paper gray, dust emission system device. Graphic Laminating's Ledco Division of Graphic Laminating recently introduced a high-speed slitter. Cutting film thickness up to 50 mm, adjustable speed, up to 150 per minute. The system power supply is 115 volts and 12 amps. The machine itself is equipped with an adjustable feed table. The feed roller is closed and controlled by a lock lever to support continuous roll loading. The feed table is adjusted by adjusting screws and the square side of the plate ensures a smooth paper feed. In production, the speed of the slitter can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the situation. The device also has an in-line blade changer, and the console can display all preset, production, and post-production indicator data. Ledco also produced the Thoroughbred, a 25-inch format high-performance laminating machine that can cover a variety of diaphragms at a speed of 65 pages per minute. The power system 220 volts 50 amps. Thoroughbred, like Workhorse, rarely requires maintenance in one year. It has built-in intelligent thermal control system, which can display the settings and actual temperature. Through the microprocessor, it can calculate the required temperature for each piece of work. In practice, the actual temperature is controlled at the set temperature, and the floating gap is very narrow. Other features include self-swinging heating heads to prevent scratching of the diaphragm, adjustable double sided edge devices, and a standard precision feed tray. James Burn International JBI BB500 is a semi-automatic Wire-O binder from James Burn International. It can produce 1200 copies per hour. Through the PLC panel, various parameters can be set (including the replacement size and height of different jobs) and the production process can be controlled. It supports all Wire-O standard 0.25--1.25-inch prints, up to 20 inches thick. BB500 binding machine can also skip nine times per cycle, can be equipped with hanging paper or non-lifting device, can be bound to a variety of alignment, indentation format, package cover and various index forms. The machine is ergonomically designed to reduce the operator's workload. Moore North America Moore 2002 Envelope Encapsulation System is a high-speed mail packaging system designed for various commercial applications. Suitable for sealing of various checks or letters. Moore North America's 2002 machine uses advanced technology to efficiently complete laser printing, folding, and packaging. It can be used with Ricoh DocuPrint series devices, either online or offline. It can also support the advanced 180 cutting machine, and also has the function of sending letters at high speed. The advanced press seal technology enables Moore 2002 to eliminate the errors caused by manual operations to the maximum extent, and automatically complete the folding, packaging, and stacking operations within minutes of printing. The machine can also be equipped with an automatic classification system, which categorizes the letters by zip code or area code, saving the relevant delivery costs. Another Moor machine is the 8850 rotary cutter, which can be connected directly to a high-speed laser printer, ready for binding, and suitable for web printing. The most distinctive feature of this machine is its electric rotary cutter. It is more accurate and faster than a regular guillotine paper cutter, and the blade can last up to 2 million times. The entire rotary cutter is reliable, low noise and dust free. Roll System Roll System has added three new models to its BookMaster family: CF/2, CF/3 and CF/M. CF/2 expands the range of paper weight and size processing; CF/3 allows three-way output of 6X9-inch and A4 books; and CF/M is a slitting/merging machine designed for processing single book volumes. All models support webs with wide webs, no positioning pins or positioning pins, and are equipped with new precision knives that are ideal for on-demand printers. The CF/2 can be single or dual output and can handle all sizes of materials such as full-page books, cut sheets, or batch jobs. Up to three outputs can be used for the CF/3, making full use of the advantages of the wide web, which is connected to the web press and directly performs on-line processing. Both models are suitable for light digital printing paper, and the product is manufactured in a wide range of sizes. CF/M allows printers to quickly complete the reproduction of a single book. All above CF machines support no positioning needle web. In addition, Roll Systems has redesigned its TwoUp System. It can complete the cutting and turning sheet work for web, and it supports both with and without positioning needle web. After cutting, the machine can also perform paging and single output to prepare for the next insert or binding job. The system is equipped with Roll's latest unwinding device, a precision slitting knife and a new paper handling system. Through the setup, the system can complete the needle-free web cutting and the group separation of the finished products, and produce the bills, letters, notes or other types of documents required by the postal service or data center and the service organization. In addition, Roll Systems also offers two solutions for digital printers on the Xeikon system. One is a roll-to-sheet system and the other is a roll-to-reel system. Roll-to-single-sheet systems mean that the machine “processes” the web on-line into a single sheet of paper, ready for subsequent processing, and the roll-to-reel system rewinds the web into another cylinder. Roll paper, for the next process service. Both systems support 50-inch webs that can work long hours, reduce paper costs, reduce manual interventions, and handle all sizes and sizes of paper. Standard Finishing Syetems Standard Finishing Syetems has recently launched its Standard Horizon ST-60 twin-stack flatbed stacker. The machine adopts a novel twin-tray design, in which after one page is full, it can be automatically transferred to another stack to continue work, avoiding downtime, reducing the labor of operators and improving Productivity. In addition to the double-bore design, the ST-60 machine is also equipped with a waste collection tray, which automatically withdraws unqualified products and collects them, ensuring the continuous operation of the work and increasing productivity. The machine can handle 8,000 sets per hour, format size from 7/2X5 inches to 13/8X19/7 inches, it is easy to compose the online processing system with Standard Horizon Speed ​​VAC. Videojet Systems International Videojet Systems International introduces a contactless inkjet imaging system - Videojet PrintPro, which can be directly in the envelope, product catalog, magazines, business forms, tickets, tags, labels, mail, plastic cards Or print directly on the fixed or changing text, icons, bar codes, images and so on. The machine is equipped with dual ink heads, and ink can be supplied by two sets of ink supply systems to create a pattern of two-color dots. Each ink head can print 1~~2 inches wide vertical strips and can print 1, 2, 3, or 4 inches of four-width vertical strips. The Model 7000 inkjet printer is equipped with an advanced loading system that can process raw materials of various sizes and greatly increase productivity. Model 7000 has been designed to meet the requirements of fast production, easy installation, simple operation, easy modification, and low waste. Its vacuum transfer system has effectively increased the transmission speed, reduced the vibration, and ensured a clear and stable image reproduction. The maximum speed is 45,000 sheets per hour.
