Horizon CABS 4000SF Installation.

[zamir]

Dear colleagues,

I just bought and installed this 2019 Perfect Binding Line.
After installation, all parts, the Gatherer MG600, the Binder SB09SF, and the 3K Trimmer,
are working fine, but I didn't succeed in making the Gatherer and the Binder work together.
I can't establish communication between the MG-600 and The SB-09.

The problem could be in cable connections or a wrong installation.
I attached a few photos to help understanding my machine's status.

Currently, I'm gathering the signatures and then feeding them manually into the Binder.
What a waste of time...

I would appreciate it if anybody could lend a hand and contact me.

Hi sir;
Normally this happen, with the sensor, is dirty, loose, or faulty. or the Sensor has NOT regulated power supply, or loose wires.

Review that, and let me know.

Hi, remember: All Sensors...!!!!, clean, lack of Regulated power Supply, loose wires, dirty, corroded wires, loose wires, or broken wires, or faulty sensors.

Good Luck

Hi everybody,

We are running our new Horizon CABS 4000-SF during the last months quiet well. Thanks.
As we are the only printers in Israel who own this machine we would like to
know friends among us who have this machine to share with them our experience
and discuss our mutual problems.

From time to time we are facing this problem of poor adhesion of the first and the last sheet
of the book. Please look at the attached photo.

I would appreciate your help to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance,

I don't have the same binder, but I do have Horizon BQ470's and there may be similarities. We have "Z Bars" on the bottom of the front and back plates of each book clamp. Over time these either get worn, misaligned or taken off. These bars, in conjunction with a sharp and properly adjusted milling knife, usually resolved most of our gluing issues.

Thank you, Stickman42.

I have received many ideas for solving this issue.
According to the Horizon User Manual, It's the Milling Blades...
See the attached page.
I tried many other things that improved the adhesion a bit, including deeper creasing
of the cover, using a thinner cover paper like 250gsm instead of 300gsm, and maybe I will also
try another glue, and so on.

Thanks again
Zamir
