What You Can Do With This Machine
The Booklet Maker BM 2000, Trimmer FTR 2000 and SquareFolder SQF 2000 form a
booklet making system that works on-line with Feeder/Collators.
The sheets from the Feeder/Collator are transported into the BM 2000 Booklet Maker and
collected in the stapler area of the BM 2000 Booklet Maker. The Booklet Maker now jogs
and then staples the set. The set is then transported further to the folding area where the
set is folded into a booklet and then fed out to the belt stacker.
When a larger number of sheets are folded an effect called creeping occurs. In order to
rectify creep, the FTR 2000 Trimmer (optional) can be connected to the Booklet Maker.
The booklets are then transported from the Booklet Maker into the Trimmer where the front
edge (face) will be cut off.
Another option, the SQF 2000 SquareFolder, can be installed if a FTR 2000 Trimmer is
installed on the BM 2000 Booklet Maker. The prints, which have been stapled, folded and
trimmed will be fed into the SQF 2000. The SQF 2000 will flatten the spine of the booklet
into a square shape. The booklets will, after passing through the SQF 2000, have the look
of a perfect bound book.
The booklets are then fed out to the Belt Stacker.
