Processes

  1. INFEED AND 4 TONS NIPPING STATION: to feed book blocks and press the book spine.
  2. END-SHEET TIPPING STATION: to apply end-sheets.
  3. DELIVERY STATION: to efficiently unload book blocks.

INFEED STATION AND INTEGRATED 4 TONS SPINE NIPPING PRESS (exclusive feature)

The infeed station is equipped with an integrated spine nipping press. With 4 tons of pressure and two sets of active clamps, it minimizes spine build-up and ensures higher-quality products.

END-SHEET TIPPER

End-sheets are extracted from the hoppers by a set of double-belts and applied to the book block through glue guns. Pushers move the blocks into the interface station, where end-sheets are secured in their position. A second thickness reading device measures the spine thickness for fine adjustments. Upon request, the height of the end-sheets can be set according to production requirements.

PROCESSES INTEGRATION

Proxima NE can be connected downstream to an automated book sewer and upstream to a binder to streamline production.

THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL BOOK FINISHING LINE

The multifunctional book finishing line combines four key machines: a book sewer, a nipping and end-sheet tipper, a binder, and a trimming unit. This system allows the production of books using two binding methods: thread sewing and perfect binding. Additionally, it offers various finishing options, including softcover and hardcover preparation.

THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL PERFECT BINDING LINE

Proxima NE can be also connected to a binder and a trimmer to produce both softcover and hardcover bound books. This line provides bookbinders with considerable versatility and flexibility, enabling seamless production with a range of finishing options within the same workflow.
