Automation and digitization are now the key trends in traditional post-press equipment

Traditional post-press processing has long relied on manual labor, often referred to as "human sea tactics." However, with the growing challenge of labor shortages and rising operational costs, automation and digitalization have become essential for the future of post-press machinery. Among these, the glued linkage line stands out as one of the most advanced systems in the industry. It can automatically handle the entire binding process—matching, binding, slitting, stacking, and three-side cutting—with high speed, efficiency, and precision. This technology is now a hot topic among printing companies, as it offers a smart and scalable solution for modern production needs. Let’s take a closer look at some of the latest innovations showcased at the exhibition!

Wei Yu: CABS4000V Plastic Binding Line
The CABS4000V is a newly developed digital glue linkage system that adapts settings based on real-time production data, eliminating the need for manual input. It's ideal for short-run jobs and features several key functions: signature/job-based production for better control, variable size finishing using barcodes, job tracking via barcode verification, workflow integration with prepress systems through JDF data, and quick, fully automatic setup for different sizes and thicknesses. These capabilities make it a powerful tool for flexible and efficient post-press operations.

Shanghai Ziguang: ZXJD450/16 Paperback Staple Automatic Line
The ZXJD450/16 is a medium-sized paperback binding machine designed by Shanghai Ziguang, combining proven technology with foreign advancements. It’s easy to adjust, stable in performance, and cost-effective, making it suitable for mid-volume, short-term bookbinding tasks. The system includes collating units and a flat binding machine, and can be expanded with slitters, three-sided cutters, and various conveyors. It supports automatic collation, multi-post rejection, back milling, slotting, and cover application. This machine is an excellent example of how automation is transforming traditional bookbinding processes.

Shanghai Zihong: ZHJL50 Hardcover Book Linkage Line
The ZHJL50 from Shanghai Zihong is designed for rounding, ridging, backing, and hardcover casing of books. It handles book blocks up to 360mm x 270mm and book cases up to 375mm x 630mm, with a thickness range of 6–70mm. It operates at a maximum speed of 36 cycles per minute, offering high productivity and precision. This machine is ideal for producing high-quality hardcover books with consistent performance and reliability.

Yinghou Machinery: 5500A Full-Servo Glued Linkage Line
The 5500A full-servo glued linkage line is an upgraded version of Yinghou Machinery’s popular 5500 model. It features 21 servo points, allowing fast size adjustments within 5 minutes. Equipped with a 10-inch touch screen for intuitive operation, an integrated cast base for stability, and a wide rail design for smooth high-speed performance, this system is built for flexibility and efficiency. It also includes a fish-scale-type cover mechanism and a 1.5-meter conveyor platform, making it a complete solution for plastic binding operations.
