About the Duplo 600i Intelligent Booklet System
The 600i Booklet System delivers a great package for both offset and digital printers: high quality booklets, simple and intelligent operation, high productivity, and the ability to offer additional booklet formats such as A4 landscape. The 600i combines high speed, intelligent DSC-10/60i Collator Towers with the easy to use DBM-600 Bookletmaker and Trimmer, running at up to 5,200 booklets per hour.
Fully automatic and designed to cater for the needs of mid-high volume commercial printers and in-plants, the 600i Booklet System is a productive and flexible booklet maker, capable of handling a wide range of paper types that can be variable within a single job. An impressive production speed of 5,200 booklets per hour and collating speeds of up to 20,000 A4 sets per hour.
Quickly create and save jobs in the system’s PC Controller software and use this to automatically change over between jobs in seconds rather than minutes. Equipping the DSC-10/60i collator towers with ultrasonic sensors helps automatically detect double feeds regardless of paper weight, making it great for documents involving variable sheets.
Why buy the Duplo 600i? For business owners
The Duplo 600i Intelligent Booklet System is the ideal solution for high production, high quality booklet making. The industry standard Hohner stitching heads reduce the cost per booklet considerably due to the yield of stitches per wire spool, around 50,000 booklets per spool is achievable.
A4 landscape booklets and 300 x 300 mm finished photo albums are among the exciting formats that the 600i Booklet System makes possible. It can accommodate sheets up to 610mm long and can be equipped with a smart Trail Edge Air kit to ensure good sheet separation for long sheets.
Fast set-up and fast job changeover – no more than a minute in either case – all functionality is operated from the touch screen PC Controller which is housed on the rear of the collator towers for ease of access. Intelligent collator towers offer the ability to not only collate sets but also offer sheet by sheet feeding technology allowing both traditionally printed materials to be merged with pre-collated digital outputs. Programmable functions reduce downtime, increase productivity and efficiency, Block Mode is one of these features and means the tower can effectively be split in half, so that bins can be loaded even while a job is running, and even if the paper size is different. There is also alternate bin mode, split top bin and interleave modes, all of which offer continued production without interruption.
For further productivity increases the Duplo 600i can be equipped with the Duplo DKT200 which offers three knife trimming of the finished job and removes the need for guillotining prior to starting production. The Duplo DKT200 can also be equipped with a gutter cut tool, a real productivity boost is delivered by the gutter knife. It enables 2-up printed pages to be finished, reducing downtime and doubling effective production speeds.
