High Speed Offline Feeder HOF-4002
FLEXIBLE SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONHOF-400 provides flexible system configurations such as cover feeding, sheet insert on, variable page count, bleed trimming and creasing for digital printing.
The HOF-400 finishing system can also be connected with the finishing devices for the offset outputs to process both digital and offset print. Through one efficient system.
FINISHING DEVICE FOR DIGITAL PRINTDigitally printed sheets are fed reliably and with care from the HOF-400 to the saddle-stitching system. A standard mark sensor enables variable sheet count documents to be handled with integrity and verification.
FINISHING DEVICE FOR OFFSET PRINTA VAC series collator can be connected in line, for processing of conventional offset printed work.
HIGH SPEED The HOF-400 can feed at a speed of 25,000 sheets per hour (A3 / 11” x 17”) and 35,000 sheets per hour (A4 SEF/ 8.5” x 11”). This high speed feeding is capable of handling the output of multiple printers.
VARIOUS MODULAR OPTIONSThe HOF-400 is compatible with a wide variety of system configurations such as sheet feeding, cover feeding, accumulating, bleed trimming and center creasing depending on your needs.
FLEXIBLE BOOKLET MAKING SYSTEM SELECTIONThe HOF-400 can be connected to the SPF-200A, SPF-200L, SPF-20A, SPF-20, StitchLiner 5500 or StitchLiner Mark III.

HOF-400 High-speed Sheet Feeder The HOF-400 feeds digitally printed sheets and transports the sheets to the next process. CF-400 cover feeder is available as an option. Capable of feeding variable sheet count with standard mark reading.
BVS-400 Barcode Verification System Option
The BVS-400 reads a barcode printed on each sheet to verify page order.
AC-400 Accumulator Option
The AC-400 accumulates the sheets from the HOF-400 for higher productivity and auto-reject of errored sets.
CV-400 Conveyor Option
The CV-400 is used to mount the barcode reader for the BVS-400.
CF-400 Cover Feeder Option
The CF-400 merges the cover sheets into the sheets fed from the HOF-400.
IC-HOF400 Image Checking System Option
The IC-HOF400 detects the selected image on the last sheet to be fed and comapre the image.
High Speed Offline Feeder HOF-4004
CONTROL PANEL ■ Both setup and control can be done though the intuitive touch screen. If a problem occurs, an icon and an error code which indicate the error status will be displayed on the touch panel for quick error recovery.
■ 200 jobs can be stored in memory, and the job can be set up quickly. A USB thumb drive is available for importing and exporting the data from memory.
SHEET FEED SECTION ■ The vacuum belt feeding system provides smooth and accurate feeding.
■ The maximum pile height of the sheet feed tray is 620 mm or 24.4”, this high capacity feed tray minimizes loading time for efficient production. Open access to the feeding area enables easy loading of sheets.
■ The mark sensor checks the marks on the first and last sheets for extra security. The standard mark sensor enables you to handle variable sheet count documents with integrity and verification.
■ The HOF-400 is equipped with a high quality feed detection system for reliable processing. If a mis-feeding occurs in the HOF-400, the system stops before stitching.
Ultrasonic Sensor
The ultrasonic sensor detects mis-feeds, double-feeds, and sheet jams. The ultrasonic sensor also has the capability to handle variable data applications and variable thickness applications.
Mark Sensor
The mark sensor checks first and last sheets. The mark sensor is capable of reading from the top or the bottom and the detection position can be adjusted easily.
DETAILS FOR EACH DEVICE.
1 HOF-400 HIGH SPEED OFFLINE FEEDER
■ The CF-400 merges the cover sheets into the sheets fed from the HOF-400.
■ The maximum pile height is 200 mm or 7.8”.
■ The feeding type can be selected from four choices; "Inserting above the sheets fed from the HOF-400 to cover feeding", "bottom cover feeding", ”Inserting” or “sheet feeding only from the CF-400”.
■ Ultrasonic sensor is used for reliable sheet detection.
■ When the StitchLiner5500 is connected, the CF-400 can feed six-page covers.
2 CF-400 COVER FEEDER
■ Detect the selected image on the last sheet to be fed and compare the image.
■ This is an ideal detection system for static count jobs or variable applications with the same top sheet image.

■ The HIF-400 is the conveyor which connects the HOF-400 and the collator.
■ The HOF-400 can be used to process, pre-collated digital print while the VAC towers can be used for processing offset work.
■ When the SPF-200A/SPF-200L or StitchLiner 5500 / StitchLiner Mark III is used, digital print from the HOF-400 can be merged with the offset print fed from the collator.
* When the StitchLiner 5500 / StitchLiner Mark III is connected, merging sheets from the VAC and HOF is not possible.
8 HIF-400 HYBRID CONVEYOR
■ The BVS-400 reads a barcode printed on a sheet to verify page order. The conveyor CV-400 (for barcode reader mounting) and the PC (for verification) are required.
4 BVS-400 BARCODE VERIFICATION SYSTEM

■ This conveyor is used to mount a barcode reader for the BVS-400.
■ By-pass conveyor when AC-400 is not connected.
* Production is slower when AC-400 is not used.
* AC-400 is always required when the StitchLiner is connected.
5 CV-400 CONVEYOR

■ CR-400’s impact creaser avoids cracking on digitally-printed applications and also produces crisp tight folded booklets.
■ Bleed trims top and tail edge for finished three side trimmed booklets.
6 CR-400 BLEED CREASE MODULE
■ The AC-400 accumulates the sheets and transport them to the bookletmaking system.
■ Sheets are regularly overlapped Horizon’s unique accumulation mechanism. This enables high speed and reliable production.
■ Test sheets and errored sheets are delivered to the reject tray.
■ Manual feed table is provided.
