Printing equipment wasn’t the only thing on display at the AIIM On Demand Conference and Exposition. There was plenty of bindery gear as well.

By Bob Neubauer

One bindery highlight at the show was the Standard Horizon BQ-470 fully-automated four-clamp perfect binder. Standard Finishing Systems was awarded Best of Show honors for this product in the bindery category at On Demand by judges from BERTL, a research firm.

Introduced at On Demand, the BQ-470 boasts fully-automated setup. It produces up to 1,350 perfect bound books per hour, with four clamps that travel on a vertical elliptical track. The binder’s 10.4˝ LCD touch screen is used to provide stepper motor-controlled automation. The BQ-470 can bind books up to 21⁄2˝ thick, and optional interchangeable glue tanks support both EVA and PUR adhesives. An optional HT-70 three-knife trimmer can be placed in-line with the BQ-470.
