The Smart-binder models SB-4 and SB-5 include an additional in-line 'perfect-binder', either the:

  • '1-clamp' PB600B (with max output speed of 400 books/hr), or the
  • '5-clamp' PB-1500W (max output speed 1500 books/hr)

which enables the system to produce not only saddle-bound booklets up to 10mm thick , but also perfect-bound books up to 60mm thick (with the PB-600B) or up to 70m thick (with the PB-1500W) using either hot-melt or PUR glue.

If perfect bound books are needed then the sheets are collected into folded ‘signatures’, typically containing 16 – 28 pages, which may be ISG cold glued on the spine fold. These signatures are delivered to the inline perfect binder and optional book trimmer.
