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.

The trimmer operates in-line with Horizon perfect binders or off-line to deliver a wide range of input and output sizes for completely variable production. Set-up and variable trimming are achieved automatically by reading a barcode printed on the cover sheet of each book at the entrance of the trimmer with no operator input required. The system trims up to 1,000 books of variable thicknesses and format sizes per hour and will accept a broad range of input sizes and deliver trimmed books from 5.7′′ x 4.05′′ up to 13.38′′ x 11.69′′. The heavy-duty construction allows the trimmer to be run in a 24/7 production environment with consistent high-quality finishing. A uniquely designed, automated trim removal system ensures consistent running without jamming. The system can also trim stacked books of the same untrimmed size and finished format at the same time, up to 2.55′′ in height, for high productivity when variable trimming is not required. For same size production runs, the trimmer can be set-up offline via the touchscreen by inputting the desired untrimmed and finished size.

Advantages at a glance

  • Automated Set-up – The HT-1000V is set-up automatically on-the-fly by reading a barcode at the entrance of the trimmer. The system also is capable of automatic set-up from the operator panel for same size production runs.
  • Variable Size Trimming – One-to-one book production with variable sizes can be produced. Both untrimmed and trimmed sizes can be variable for true variable format production.
  • In-line Production – The HT-1000V can be placed in-line with Horizon perfect binders to maximize finishing automation and minimize human operation error.
  • High Speed Operation – Maximum cycle speed of the HT-1000V is 1,000 books/hour. For example, A4 to A5 alternating sequence (book of one production) can be 950 books/hour. (Production speed depends on book condition and preparation of untrimmed books.)
  • JDF Workflow – The HT-1000V can be connected with the Horizon pXnet JDF workflow for finishing production efficiency and management.
