Overview
The BQ-300 targets efficient variable-thickness production with automated setup and a large touchscreen. It is a step up from entry tabletop binders when you need production spine quality and faster changeover without a full multi-clamp line.
EVA hot-melt is the common adhesive path on this class; expand with inline trimmers and workflow links when your line grows. Compare adhesive choices on our EVA vs PUR page.
Key features
- Up to about 500 cycles/hour
- Automated setup with variable thickness detection
- Large Horizon touchscreen with multi-job memory
- Rotary suction cover feeder with scoring on equipped configs
- Expandable toward inline trim and automation options
