Graphical User Interface - GUI
The intuitive color GUI's operating system is icon-based for user-friendly operation. Ergonomically designed to swing left or right and tilt for operator preference. All machines' setups are managed and stored in the GUI for toolless operation
Stitching
The BM-e user-friendly automated, toolless stitcher ensures stitch positions are always precise and identical. The stitcher comes equipped with either 2 or 4 Hohner roll fed stitch heads or Deluxe stitch heads with wire cassettes, allowing for up to 14 different stitch positions including top, corner, side, saddle and optional loop stitching. The solution features missing stitch detection, end-of-wire detection, active clinchers and measures the thickness of each booklet automatically adjusting for variable page count booklets without operator intervention.
Folding
The belted folder guarantees no marking, scuffing or scratching of the printed sheets during the folding process. Coupled with a precision serrated folding knife and automated fold roller pressure adjustment (based on the set thickness) makes this automated folder capable of producing dynamic page count booklets on complex media including coated stocks.
Upper Reception Tray
The BM-e features a smart upper reception tray to quickly collect the top, side and corner stitched documents that don't require face trimming. This tray can be unloaded "on-the-fly" preventing production interruptions.
Trimming
A unique book clamp mechanism automatically lowers to apply even and equal pressure to the entire booklet while the self-sharpening guillotine blades deliver a precise face cut. The BM-e trimmer allows for up to 1 inch of face trimming and features an adjustable high power blowdown fan that blows any trim waste into a large scrap bin that can be easily emptied while the machine is producing booklets.
Output Conveyor
The smart output conveyor comes as standard equipment on the BM-e, its conveyor pulse can be adjusted to optimize set shingling. It features the ability to count batches and group the booklets into operator defined stacks for easy collection.
