Horizon’s new BBS-40 stacks and glues the signatures into book blocks which are then passed on to a Horizon SB-09V perfect binder. The newly-bound books are ushered by conveyor to an HT-1000V for variable, three-knife trimming.
According to a Standard spokesperson, the system can churn out 2000 books per hour of variable thickness and format. With no manual touch points, the release promises a leaner production model.
