PowerSquare™ 224
The NEW PowerSquare™ 224VF with its high capacity dual bin feeder offers a flexible solution for a wide range of booklet types and sizes. The system is fed by the VF vacuum assisted feeder which has a loading capacity of up to 540mm, giving long uninterrupted production runs. Pre-collated sets can be placed into both bins for longer runs, or covers can be placed into one of the bins when they need to be merged with collated sets. The feeder can also be loaded on the run with automatic bin switching.
Optional barcode readers can be fitted to the VF for variable page count jobs or to ensure set integrity.
With an ever increasing demand for high quality booklets on a wider range of media the PowerSquareTM 224 and 224VF will deliver booklets produced with the unique SquareBackTM finish to the spine. The proven SquareBackTM process produces a superior quality finish. The automatic set thickness sensing ensures optimum book quality to deliver professionally finished booklets for you and your customer.
SquareBack books can carry print on the spine, just like a perfect bound book and are much easier to handle, stack and pack.
The Power SquareTM224 and 224VF can produce a wide range of formats including A6, A5, and A4. Booklets of up to 224 pages of 70gsm, or up to a thickness of 10.4mm can easily be produced, replacing the need for perfect binding of many publications.
Static stitching head and clincher gives consistent alignment and quality
The PowerSquareTM 224 has a single stitch head which inserts one to six stitches in the spine of the book. The stitch head and clincher are static, the sheets move to the stitch, not vice versa. This means the stitch head and clincher never have to be moved, so alignment and stitch quality is consistently good.
Up to 6 staples can be applied to one set for 2-up or 3-up production, It also features fully automatic settings for different book size and pagination, including variable stitch-leg length for varying book thickness.
