PowerSquare 224VF with integrated Two Knife Trimmer (P2T)

The PowerSquare 2-Knife Trimmer (P2T) completes the booklet making process by trimming the top and bottom edge of the book. It provides a professional solution for full-bleed printed work, essential for colour printed applications.

Side-trimming the finished book gives a clean, sharp and accurate result. Up to 40mm/1.57” can be trimmed from each end of a book, while the trim position can be offset to match the image position to produce a professional finish, removing the shingle-edge caused by folding multiple sheets.

Full bleed two knife trimming is available as an option.

SquareBack Booklets

With an ever increasing demand for high quality booklets on a wider range of media the PowerSquareTM 224 and 224VF will deliver booklets produced with the unique SquareBackTM finish to the spine. The proven SquareBackTM process produces a superior quality finish. The automatic set thickness sensing ensures optimum book quality to deliver professionally finished booklets for you and your customer.

SquareBack books can carry print on the spine, just like a perfect bound book and are much easier to handle, stack and pack.

The Power SquareTM224 and 224VF can produce a wide range of formats including A6, A5, and A4. Booklets of up to 224 pages of 70gsm, or up to a thickness of 10.4mm can easily be produced, replacing the need for perfect binding of many publications.

Static Stitching head

Static stitching head and clincher gives consistent alignment and quality The PowerSquareTM 224 has a single stitch head which inserts one to six stitches in the spine of the book. The stitch head and clincher are static, the sheets move to the stitch, not vice versa. This means the stitch head and clincher never have to be moved, so alignment and stitch quality is consistently good.

Up to 6 staples can be applied to one set for 2-up or 3-up production, It also features fully automatic settings for different book size and pagination, including variable stitch-leg length for varying book thickness.

User Interface

The PowerSquareTM 224VF has a state of the art control system including remote diagnostics. The intuitive GUI is easy to navigate and set up all machine functions quickly. The control systems includes a detailed service and diagnostic system which can be remotely accessed for preventative maintenance, fault analysis and system monitoring leading to greater efficiency and utilisation of the machine.
