HIGH QUALITY – Enhanced automation and new features of the BQ- 300 allow even non-skilled operators to produce high quality books. The new template feature helps automate various binder adjustments so that anyone can achieve efficient book-of-one production. Templates are created beforehand depending on style or substrate preferences and can be chosen at any time depending on job requirements.
EASY OPERATION & MAINTENANCE – The newly designed 15” control panel (“Horizon XUI”) and increased mechanical automation help improve productivity by shortening setup time and eliminating touchpoints. New pullout delivery stacker allows for easier handling of bound books, while the front covers provide easy access to the inside for maintenance and cleaning.
HIGH PRODUCTIVITY – BQ-300 achieves up to 500 cycles per hour and achieves job changeover times that are up to 50% shorter than previous models. Additionally, enhanced variable thickness automation allows the BQ-300 to achieve efficient production even for short-run jobs.
SYSTEM EXTENSION CAPABILITIES – BQ-300 can be configured inline with a trimmer or robotic arm. The system can be enhanced with automated workflow from upstream to post-press with iCE LiNK. iCE LiNK is Horizon's cloud-based postpress management system that allows users to monitor production and machine status in real time, or automate their workflow by integrating finishing with their MIS and prepress.
