The Rigo Perfect Binder 420 HM single-clamp perfect binder offers high-quality production perfect binding with fully automated operation. Push button simplicity for on-demand production of variable thickness soft back books. Designed to help commercial and digital printers to bring in-house, highly profitable, short to medium-run, on-demand binding. Capable of handling sewn sections, single sheets and folded sections to extend its capabilities in a professional environment.

The Perfect Binder 420 HM also features single person operation with impressive production speeds of up to 500 books per hour. An automatic air-suction cover feeder with inline scoring and automated setup via the large OMRON touch screen display. Combined with the latest Planamelt R digital adhesive it is the perfect binder of choice for today’s digital printer.

Ridiculously simple to use thanks to an intuitive OMRON touch screen controller. All functions including the inline scoring, glue length, clamping time, glue temperature & book position are all controlled from the OMRON touch screen. The adjustable glue length and book block positioning give the operator greater control and prove to be extremely useful functions. The latter allows easy binding of different sized book blocks to covers.

The Perfect Binder 420 HM is a powerful binder. Capable of up to 500 cycles per hour. Larger spine lengths up to 420mm and thicker spines up to 50mm. A fully adjustable (0-3mm) and tiltable milling & notching blade ensures perfect spine preparation. Separate spine and side glue tanks provide greater flexibility in glue application. Whilst a 3 roller application system ensures guarantees the perfect bead of spine glue for optimum performance. The automatically adjustable ribbed side glue application rollers apply a perfect 7mm bead of glue along the spine edge, perfect for spine/hinge cover application. Whilst the powerful nipping station merges the spine with the cover to form a perfect finish.

Perfectly suited to short & medium run on-demand applications of A3, A4 or A5 finished softback books.
