Key Features 
 
Efficient Folding: The Hunkeler UW7 unwind module feeds a web up to 30 inches wide into the PF7 plow folder, where two longitudinal folding stations create either 4-, 6- or 8-page signatures.
Precision Cutting: The web is then cross-cut in the high performance CS6-HS cutting module. Dynacut capability allows production of variable spine-length book blocks.
Variable Book Blocks: The signatures are gathered and glued into variable sheet-count book blocks, then exit via the SD7-I star wheel delivery system.
Intelligent Destacking: The book block stacks are then transported to the newly-developed BD7 book destacker which intelligently separates variable-format and variable thickness book blocks from the stack.
Perfect Binding and Trimming: The book blocks are transferred to the Horizon BQ-480 Perfect Binder for spine preparation, gluing, and cover application before being three-knife trimmed in the zero-make ready, fully-variable Horizon HT-1000V.
