Morgana DigiBook 450 PUR Automatic Perfect Binding Machine

The Morgana Digibook 450 PUR Perfect Binder is a single clamp machine that can bind up to 450 books per hour using PUR glues making it ideal for printers who require medium to long runs of PUR bound books to a high professional standard. PUR is the strongest and most flexible binding adhesive on the market today and gives a super-strong bind with all weights and finishes of stock. Even when inks, coatings, or digital toners are present in the binding area. PUR also works well with synthetic and recycled content stock. Fast and easy setup is controlled by a touch screen with icon-based graphics that allows make ready of all operations within a few seconds a job memory can store up to 100 repeat jobs for completely automatic setup. The Digibook 450 incorporates an automatic book measuring station that measures the book thickness and automatically sets the machine clamp and glue head accordingly. Additionally, the measuring station will also automatically set the spine and hinge scoring positions for the cover. An automatic cover feeder comes as standard on the digibook 450, it can also be fitted with an optional scoring attachment that eliminates the need to pre crease covers. Seven international patents cover the Digibook 450’s innovative operating system. Glue application is hermetically sealed giving no odor or fume emissions and requiring no extraction fans. An optional hot melt glue tank allows the Digibook 450 to be used for hot melt applications. Different temperatures can be set for the glue melt tank and the glue applicator which gives greater flexibility and glue life. Another feature of the patented glue applicator is minimum glue wastage via the automatic cleaning and sealing cycle that can be operated from the touch screen. PUR glue is applied on the spine and sides of a book by independent glue slots, each of which can be adjusted to give optimal spine and side glue results. Glue quantity is determined by the height of the applicator and pressure applied. The Digibook 450’s milling head is retractable, allowing both cut pages and signatures to be processed into bound books. The pneumatic nipping press has adjustable lateral pressing force, and a dwell time that’s adjustable from the touch screen control from naught to thirty seconds. Nipping height varies from naught to 1.5 millimeters for optimal squaring of the spine and quality of glue applications. Once made, the books are automatically collected and transferred to the soft bed delivery area. This avoids potential damage to the book spine. An optional gauze station allows book blocks to be finished ready for hard case binding. The Digibook 450 is also equipped with an automatic book delivery and stacking section to maintain output speeds and to reduce the handling of the bound books. With the ability to handle books up to 320 x 450 millimeters in size and a maximum spine thickness of 50 millimeters, the Digibook 450 is equipped to produce medium to long runs of PUR bound books to the highest quality.
