Since 2016, the StitchLiner Mark III has been setting standards for precision and automation in booklet production. Now the Japanese finishing specialist has also upgraded the collating machine with which the sheets are fed to the saddle stitcher. With individual air supply in each station, the new VAC-L600H also feeds critical papers and formats perfectly.
In 1989, exactly 30 years ago, Horizon introduced the first vertical sheet collator to the market. With the changing needs of bookbinders and printers, the VAC series has been continuously developed and diversified for various applications. Just in time for its 30th product anniversary, Horizon now presents the latest VAC-L600H model, which has noticeably improved both productivity and ergonomics, something that should please entrepreneurs and operators alike.
The VAC-L600H has six loading bins, each of which can hold sheets up to 610 mm long. This makes the collating tower the perfect complement for the StitchLiner Mark III (or SPF-200L) to produce brochures in A4 landscape.
The modular system can be extended to up to six towers with six stations each, enabling booklets of up to 144 pages. The shape of the stations has been optimized to ensure that even wide sheets can be loaded safely and conveniently. In addition, the operator benefits from a significantly reduced noise level. A positive factor for the development of operating costs is the energy consumption, which at 1.6 kWh per tower is 30% lower than that of the models before.
The main advantage of the new model is the control of the air in the stations. Individual and optimized air supply from two fans separately for each station and reliable suction feeders ensure safe paper feed. Overlapping, speed, suction and blowing air can be individually adjusted, enabling even critical papers and formats to be processed.
In collating mode, the VAC-L600H can process up to 9,900 sets per hour. In combination with the StitchLiner Mark III, for example, up to 6,000 A4 portrait or 5,300 A4 landscape booklets can be processed per hour.
With its integrated digital function, the VAC-L600H is also a digital feeder. Sequentially printed sheets can also be removed from all six stations and processed into sets or booklets. This makes the gathering machine ideal for hybrid production from offset and digital printing.
