Binding, Creasing Equipment Helps Create Works of Art
"The 8000 could not perfect bind the size of booklets that we needed to bind," explains Richard Peterson, manager of Office Services at the 144-year-old museum. "We do a lot of 81⁄2x51⁄2˝ [booklets], and it just couldn't do it."
The Digibinder Plus is able to bind these booklets—mostly programs for museum fundraising events—without difficulty. The operator simply places the book cover on the nipper table, then puts the book block in the pneumatic clamp. Both the clamp and nipper adjust automatically, binding books as thin as two sheets up to a 21⁄4˝ maximum thickness. A roughing blade roughs and notches the spine, and twin glue rollers ensure an even glue application. A third metering roller smooths out the glue.
