Duplo has launched a new flagship booklet-making system, the 600i Booklet System, replacing the 500i Booklet System, which was introduced 12 years ago and has sold more than 2300 units in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The company said that high-volume digital and litho production are key markets for the new system, with commercial printers, education, public and private sector and processing industries being actively targeted.
The 600i Booklet System is a fully automated stitching, folding and trimming solution combining the high speed, intelligent DSC-10/60i Collator Towers and the easy-to-use DBM-600 bookletmaker and trimmer. It has at least 25 configurations that can combine suction, collators, sheet feeders, slit, cut, crease, squarefold and three-knife trimming operations.
According to Duplo, the major benefits of the system include:-
Industry-exclusive features such as A4 landscape format Easy set-up and full automated precision, user friendly with minimal operator intervention required Clear paper path so full control of the production process Optimised PC controller that enables operators to create and save an unlimited number of jobs for future instant recall Production speeds of up to 5200 booklets per hour. Adding the optional DKT-200 2-knife trimmer increases this to up to 9000 booklets per hour This knife trimming allows the user to take printed SRA3 or B3 sheets directly from the press and finish the booklet in one operation Tool-less operations and job changeover times of less than a minute High versatility and modular set-up that can be re-configured and expanded as demands change
Peter Jolly, Duplo UK managing director, said: ‘The Duplo 600i Booklet System represents our vision of automated precision. It’s clear from feedback already received that industry professionals will welcome a revolutionary system that combines the robust lines of a large stitching system with exceptional intelligence, productivity and exclusive features such as A4 landscape format.’
