Digital Print Center Gets Finishing Touch

The binder and three-knife trimmer's icon-based color touchscreens provide automated setup, with programmable memory for up to 200 different jobs. On the HT-80, stepper motors position all guides and clamps to ensure quality cutting at speeds up to 1,000 cycles per hour.

The PXnet management system allows operators to send jobs electronically to the bindery machines and then reports back operational information, such as number of cycles and the time it took to complete the job, Martin says.
