IFS announces Ipex plans

Finishing equipment supplier Intelligent Finishing Solutions (IFS) has revealed its line-up for this year's Ipex event in May.

Live demonstrations will feature seven perfect binding configurations, six folders, three saddlestitchers and two automated booklet production lines.

Highlights include the global launch of the Horizon BQ-160 single clamp perfect binder, which includes a PUR option, an automated 17-clamp CAB system featuring inline gathering and trimming with PUR glue and backlining options, plus an automated BQ-470 four-clamp perfect binder shown for the first time with inline three-knife trimming.

IFS will also exhibit its automated combined B2 folding system, ground pile and pallet-feed automated B1 systems and the new all-buckle B2 and SRA2 modular folding systems.

The three B2 Horizon stitchliners will run alongside Hunkleler systems, Komori presses and will produce litho and digital print to create customised booklets.

As well as the wide range of hardware on its stand, IFS will demonstrate a number of cross-company products, including its pXnet JDF solution with Hiflex’s MIS, networked to Komori and Ryobi presses.

Some IFS products will also feature on other stands, including Konica Minolta, HP, Océ and Pitney Bowes.
