About this machine
This used Horizon saddle stitcher — also commonly referred to as a booklet maker — is a complete, integrated production line designed for the high-speed collating, stitching, and trimming of saddle-stitched booklets. Horizon is a well-established Japanese manufacturer of post-press finishing equipment, known for producing sophisticated, automation-focused systems for commercial print shops, trade finishers, and digital print operations worldwide. This particular line, comprising the SPF-200L booklet maker, FC-200L front trimmer, and four VAC-600H collating towers (one VAC-600Ha, two VAC-600Hm, and one VAC-600Hc units), dates from 2022 and is located in Germany.
The heart of the system is the SPF-200L, a fully automatic stitching and folding unit. It handles a format range from a minimum of 180 × 105 mm up to a maximum of 610 × 350 mm, and is specifically capable of producing booklets in A4 landscape format — a notable versatility advantage. Output speed reaches up to 4,000 cycles per hour in standard operation and 3,500 cycles per hour in landscape mode. Booklet thickness capacity is up to 100 pages, depending on paper stock. The SPF-200L is equipped with a large colour touchscreen through which all format and production parameters, including the fold roller gap, are set automatically, minimising operator input and reducing makeready time. The unit weighs approximately 831 kg together with the FC-200L and has an overall footprint of 4,271 × 810 × 1,250 mm (L × W × H). Power requirements are 230 V at 5.3 A, with a consumption of 1.0 kW.
The integrated FC-200L front trimmer handles the final trimming stage directly in-line, completing the booklet in a single continuous pass without manual intervention between stages.
The collating section is built around the modular VAC-600H tower system. Each tower accepts sheets with a format range of 148 × 120 mm minimum to 500 × 350 mm maximum, with a loading capacity of 55 mm per station. The towers are configurable from 6 up to 60 stations in total, allowing the line to be scaled to the complexity of any given job. Collating speed reaches up to 9,500 cycles per hour, and the system supports non-stop operation through double-cycle and insert programs, meaning station reloading does not require a production stop. The modular architecture also allows the line to be expanded with additional Horizon feeders or digital print feeders for hybrid offset and digital workflows.
All main modules feature large touchscreen interfaces for rapid job setup and fault diagnosis. The line is suited to both offset and digital print stock and is particularly well matched to short and medium print runs requiring frequent format changes. This is a used machine from 2022, offered from a location in Germany.
