Finishing & Screen Printing

Horizon presents new product line at first virtual launch event

Tuesday 15. September 2020 - At the end of September print finishing specialist Horizon will be launching the first presses in the new iCE series and the cloud-based workflow software iCE LiNK. The latest smart factory solutions will be presented at the digital event Finishing First - Product Launch on 29 and 30 September 2020.

Smart Factory concept.
The “Internet of Things” (IoT) is widespread in our lives, many things are already networked and automatically exchange information. The printing industry is no exception; IoT plays an important role in our daily business. What is needed are solutions that not only save labour through automation, but also connect individual systems to form networks – a fully automated, end-to-end networked smart factory.
Product and process quality guaranteed.
The new iCE series – (i) Intelligence, Integration, Interaction, (C) Connection, (E) Efficiency – is therefore all about automation and networking. The cloud-based workflow software iCE LiNK enables production processes to be monitored, analysed and visualised in real time, thus making them even more efficient. It also ensures preventive maintenance intervals and remote maintenance. All Horizon machines can be networked with iCE LiNK.
Efficient Smart Factory solutions in live operation.
At the first virtual launch event Horizon presents new Smart Factory solutions for small and medium runs up to single book production – networked with iCE LiNK.
Technical highlights:
– Concept presentation: a robot arm transfers book blocks from the high-performance HOF-400 feeder to the BQ-270V 1-clamp perfect binder.
– The fully automatic 4-clamp perfect binder BQ-500 comes in a completely new design and guarantees efficient processing of variable book sizes thanks to consistent automation.
– The compact HT-300 three-side trimmer not only works extremely precisely – thanks to the new double cut function – but also enables versatile applications by processing 6- and 8-page gatefolded brochures.
