Overview
CABS 6000 is the higher-capacity side of Horizon's modular perfect binding family. Standard Finishing positions CABS systems for flexible production layouts with automated quality control and practical glue changeover between equipped EVA and PUR paths.
Choose CABS 6000 when single-clamp or smaller multi-clamp binders cannot keep up with shift volume. Mid-State Litho will not force a CABS quote if a BQ-500 or SB-09 class machine is the honest fit.
Built by Horizon International in Japan. North American distribution through Standard Finishing Systems. Sold, installed, and serviced in Michigan and the Great Lakes by Mid-State Litho.
Key features
- High-performance CABS production configuration
- Modular line layout for commercial book plants
- Quality control and automated setup features on equipped systems
- Pairs with Horizon three-knife trimmers for finished books

Why buy Horizon equipment from Mid-State Litho
Horizon International designs and manufactures this machine in Japan. Standard Finishing Systems (SDMC) is the exclusive North American distributor. Mid-State Litho is the authorized Michigan and Great Lakes dealer: we quote the configuration, install it, train your operators, finance it when needed, stock related parts and adhesives, and send factory-trained technicians when something stops a shift.
We work with Horizon and Standard Finishing as long-term allies. We still want the plant manager who searches for a Horizon dealer to land on Mid-State Litho: same-state trucks, multi-brand advice when Horizon is not the only answer, and a phone that reaches people who have installed the line. Call 1-800-343-4231 or request a quote. Browse the full Horizon print finishing equipment catalog.
