IFS to host 20 Horizon world debuts at Ipex

Intelligent Finishing Systems (IFS) will showcase 20 world debuts from Horizon on its stand at this month's Ipex.

The Japanese company will exhibit on Perivale, London-based supplier Intelligent Finishing Systems' stand at the event in two weeks' time.

IFS will showcase the CABS 6000 17-clamp perfect binder and the SB-09S 9-clamp perfect binder, which has a running speed of 4,000bph, as well as EVA and PUR hot-melt glue solutions.

It will also launch the BQ-470V 4-clamp perfect binder, which features interchangeable EVA and PUR systems, and has an HT-80 on-line trimmer option.

Bryan Godwyn, joint managing director of IFS, said: "It is not just a question of saving time and money on outsourcing. Horizon’s new systems featuring intelligent automation offer a radical shift in the cost parameters set for existing, complex conventional machines.

"Printers can make the best use of their human resources, quote with confidence to meet the tightest of deadlines and supply the quantities demanded – even runs of one – while improving quality and margins."

Other show debuts will include the BQ-160 single-clamp perfect binder and the 240m/min AFC-746F B1 folder, which is completely automated.

A variation to the StitchLiner 6000 saddlestitching system, the PF-40 tabletop suction folder and the CRS-36 cover creaser will also be exhibited at the Birmingham event.
