The high speed and precision engineering of the DPB-500 Perfect Binder makes it the most productive and cost-efficient perfect binder in its class. The fully automatic and single clamp design allows cycling of up to an impressive 525 times per hour.
The user-friendly touchscreen control panel simplifies operation and provides many useful features to augment production. An easy-to-use touchscreen monitor allows the operator to quickly adjust, program, and save up to 20 different jobs. Such state-of-the-art automation reduces set-up time and cost and requires minimal operator skills, making the DPB-500 ideal for short run and variable data productions.
Changing from one size to another is as quick and easy as a push of a button. Simply select one of the stored memories, load the book into the clamp, and press the Size Change key to initiate the size change process. The side glue wheels, scoring wheels, and cover positioning guide will automatically move into the desired position, according to the thickness of the loaded book.
Once the size change is completed, covers can be loaded into the Cover Feed section which has controls that give the operator the ability to make and verify any fine adjustments aligning it with the Nipping section. Equipped with the most technologically-advanced, reliable, and proven vacuum belt feeding system in the industry, the DPB-500 Cover Feed section is incorporated with a sensor to detect miss and double-feeds and various cover types.
The DPB-500 is ready for operation once the size change occurs, covers are loaded, and the Cover Feed section is adjusted. The DPB500 can operate in two modes. The Normal Mode is utilized to bind books of the same thickness; the Variable Mode is designed for jobs requiring the ability to run various book thicknesses, as the scoring and side glue wheels are automatically adjusted. The DPB-500 can bind books of various thicknesses as easily as books of the same thickness by simply loading the clamp and pressing the start button.
With its unique automation, the DPB-500 is ideal for the on demand market because it can accommodate book thicknesses from 0.04” to 2.01” (plus cover thickness) automatically.
The design of the DPB-500 provides the user with the safest and cleanest working space possible. Interlocked covers guard against the possibility of injuries caused by contact with internal parts. A powerful dust extractor is included to remove paper waste keeping the system clean. A built-in exhaust fan assists in removal of fumes. The book loading area is protected by a safety light curtain.
Solid construction and state-of-the-art automation make the DPB500 built to last through all your perfect binding demands.
