The DigiBook 200
Morgana Systems has launched a new addition to its popular PUR perfect binder range the DigiBook 200, which can bind up to 200 books per hour.
The new model sits above the entry level DigiBook 150, featuring more automation than the basic version.
Ray Hillhouse, sales and marketing director, said, ‘Customers like the range that we offer, but have been asking for that perfect product: the one that sits just above entry level, but is not as expensive as the 300 books per hour model! We believe that we have it in this new machine: priced very competitively at £27,000, the specification provides those additional automatic features that prospects were keen to get.
‘The book block measuring capability is typical of the features that have been added. It sets up the heads automatically meaning that users can switch from one size of book to another very swiftly and easily. The gluing heads are the same across the range, so the bind quality is identical.’
The machine handles spine lengths from 110 to 320 mm and the maximum thickness is 50 mm. Retractable spine milling means that the device can go from soft to hard cover binding at the flick of a switch. Side gluing for the cover hinge is adjustable depending upon the cover style required.
Demand for PUR binding from digital printers has been growing swiftly in recent years. The DigiBook range has proved popular with print operations seeking a more effective and substantial bind than that offered by regular hot-melt devices.
