Horizon has launched its new Ice StitchLiner Mark IV to achieve booklet production at speeds of up to 6000 booklets per hour.
The new system incorporates Horizon’s cloud-based Ice Link workflow as standard. It uses cloud technology to automate workflow from upstream to post-press. It provides access to a dashboard that reports real-time production analysis for improved efficiency and profitability, remote update capabilities and scheduled maintenance resulting in less downtime.
The information is accessible via smartphone, tablet, or desktop PC and the software is designed for integration with MIS systems.
Uptime has been maximised via the ability to manage changeable speeds without stopping. The fully automated system is better able to cope with a sequence of very short run products in a range of paginations and it offers easy set up via its intuitive touch panel. The machine includes a new stitcher for variable thickness production with automatic stitch length adjustment, new jogging mechanisms, a four-direction jog guide and two-layer accumulation with air assist for precise sheet alignment.
