The latest PowerSquare™ 160VFX introduces a dual bin feeder with substantial capacity, providing a versatile solution for producing booklets of various types and sizes. The system is powered by the VFX vacuum-assisted feeder, capable of handling loads up to 21 inches for extended, seamless production. It accommodates pre-collated sets in both bins for extended runs, or alternatively, one bin can be used for covers that need to be integrated with collated sets. The feeder’s design allows for on-the-fly loading with an automatic bin transition feature. Additionally, optional barcode readers can be installed on the VFX to manage variable page count projects or to maintain the consistency of the sets.
