The fully automatic 500i Booklet System offers intelligent versatility and precision to both Offset and Digital printers.

Equipped with Duplo’s superior engineering and patented Intelligent Multi-bin Feeding System, the 500i Booklet System incorporates up to 6 DSC-10/60i collator towers with the world leading DBM-500 Bookletmaker and trimmer.

Superior Feeding The high speed and intelligent DSC-10/60i suction towers deliver superior performance whilst maintaining complete accuracy. Each tower of 10 bins comes with A.M.S.+ (Air Management System Plus) as standard. Controlled from the PC Controller and/or the towers, this unique feeding system manages the high power fans that create air flow and vacuum independently for each bin, enabling reliable feeding regardless of paper weight or size.

Intelligent Feed systemThe DSC-10/60i includes I.M.B.F. (Intelligent Multi Bin Feeding) which allows the operator to select each bin individually, as a block, a tower or link multiple independent bins together to best suit each application. Each tower is completely independent and can be optimised to feed single or multiple sheets from each bin, a huge benefit when producing variable data publications.

Automated PrecisionThe entire system is managed from the user friendly PC controller. This automatically sets up the system within 60 seconds and the changeover between jobs within 35 seconds, all without the use of any tools. The operator can create and save an unlimited number of jobs with ease for future instant recall.

Each bin on the DSC-10/60i can be equipped with the optional state of the art Ultrasonic Technology. The Ultrasonic Sensor detects if a double feed occurs regardless of ink colour, paper colour and paper density and enables the operator to confidently feed different paper weights within the same job.

ProductivityThe 500i Booklet System can finish up to 5,000 books per hour without operator intervention or any wastage. Adding the optional DKT-200, 3 knife trimmer, increases this up to 9,000 books per hour.

The DSC-10/60i has a large bin capacity of 65mm and the ability to increase the capacity by intelligently linking multiple bins together. The automatic and accurate miss or double detection system ensures that only correct sets are delivered into the bookletmaker. Faulty sets are automatically diverted without stopping or interrupting production to the reject tray for re-inserting.

FlexibilityThe 500i Booklet System allows you to manage the printed pages from multiple printers, regardless of whether they are from colour or mono presses or different printer vendors. Merging together digital and offset sheets, uncollated and collated sets is possible without compromising print production, offering high speed professional finishing on a wide variety of sheet sizes and weights.

Up to 4 heavy duty Hohner heads or loop stitching heads can be installed to accommodate a wider range of finished applications.

ModularityThe 500i is a highly versatile and modular booklet system that can be re-configured and expanded as needs and demands change.

Options:3 knife TrimmingThe 500i Bookletmaker, when connected with the optional DKT-200 trimmer, provides a completely automatic 3 knife trimming operation. This allows the user to take the printed SRA3 or B3 sheet directly from the press and finish the book in one operation, providing huge savings on guillotining and labour costs. The optional centre or gutter knife enables the printer to finish a 2-up printed page, reducing downtime and greatly increasing the overall production to 9000 books.

ASM-500Add value to your offering with the ASM-500 Square Spine by creating professional looking booklets with a perfect bound effect.
