New Bindery And Finishing Systems From drupa 2012

By Bob Neubauer

Automated Perfect Binding

C.P. Bourg introduced the Bourg BB3102 automated perfect binding system for short-run, on-demand environments. It can produce a variety of bound, soft-cover books from traditional or digital print streams, with minimal intervention. The operator can load up to 120 book blocks into the Bourg BBL Book Loader in less than six minutes, load corresponding covers into the cover feeder, set job parameters and leave the system unattended for up to 30 minutes of non-stop production, at a rate of 350 books/hour. The Book Loader allows books to vary in thickness from 0.2˝ to 2.36˝, and in paper sizes from 7.68x5˝ to 15.15x12.6˝. C.P. Bourg also announced a compact and operator-friendly PUR version of its single-clamp BB3002 Perfect Binder.
