HSB 13.000 – The Customized

High-technology for the future – flexible & efficient

The HSB 13.000 is our most forward thinking solution, requiring a minimum amount of personnel, to compliment your efficient workflow in the saddle binding element of your Bindery with shorter set-up times. Totally automated, if desired – even down to the compensating stacker – the HSB 13.000 can, like no other, be changed from one job to another, from small formats up to a maximum DIN A3 in a matter of minutes.

This is especially relevant in a changing market where production runs are becoming shorter but the products are becoming more complicated. Intelligent programming ensures the automated repetition of all components and settings in the system. The new drive technology combined with “Motion-Control”, a special automation software, represents a complete state of the art drive system. This guarantees that tasks which have been run once can be repeated at any time with a simple push of a button because all components automatically reset to their previous positions. Your demands of top quality machinery and high efficiency together with Hohner’s renowned ease of operation are perfectly combined in our customized HSB 13.000.
