manroland web systems has developed special reel-to-book block solutions for the digital book production. After the web is printed, it is guided over the variable FormerLine and several longitudinal folds into the variable cutting unit for the cross cut. From here, the individual signatures move to the VBC Collator where they are stacked, glued and pressed into book blocks.
Shortest makeready times
Minimizing makeready times is a decisive factor for profitability in industrial-scale print production. Therefore, already in the planning phase, the folding systems FormerLine and FoldLine from manroland web systems were designed for short makeready times. Adjusting the former for a format change takes at the most three minutes, and in only five minutes another paper quality can be processed. The FormerLine system was developed for digital book production on an industrial scale.
