Saddle binding:
The
Smart-binder system using individual sheet folding before
collection together on the saddle, which results in excellent
lay-flat even up to 200 pages. The Smart-binder may be supplied
in-line with a digital cut-sheet printer (SB-1 model) or in-line
with a digitally-printed CF paper web(SB-2,3 or 4) at speeds
up to 150 metres/min (500 feet/min). Alternatively, it may
be supplied in off-line form using an integrated sheet pile
feeder which can be loaded with sheets from multiple digital
printers. |

In-line version Smart-binder SB-3
 |
|
|
The Smart-binder SB-1 and SB-2
produce wire stitched booklets up to 10mm (0.4") thick.
By upgrading to the model SB-3 the system can also produce ISG
cold glued booklets up to this same thickness. Using IBIS's
unique cold-glue binding process offers many benefits compared
with wire staples. For square-backed books between 10 and 60mm
(0.4" and 2.3"), the SB-3 may be upgraded to the model
SB-4, which includes an in-line hot-melt adhesive binder.
In this way the Smart-binder provides a solution for multiple
different book types and formats, with the option of a separately
fed cover, sheet perforating, hole punching, loop stitching,
etc. |

Perfect binding: |
|
| The Smart-binder range also includes options for
dedicated ‘perfect binding’ (without saddle-binding) for books up
to 60mm (2.3” ) thick. The Smart-binder model PB-600S can receive
piles of sheets from an in-line sheet-stacker and place these piles
automatically into the BB3002 single clamp binder. |

IBIS Smart-binder PB-600C
|
|
|
| Alternatively, the Smart-binder model
PB600C includes a sheet collector to enable it to receive a stream
of sheets directly from a digital printer, or high speed sheet feeder.
It folds each sheet, if needed, collects the sheets together and then
places the sheet pile into the BB3002 single clamp binder. The BB3002
binder uses hot-melt EVA glue to bind the sheets and add a separately
fed cover to produce high quality perfect bound books, and book thickness
may be varied on-the-run. An optional in-line 3-side book trimmer
is available.
