The Kolbus KM490 is a systembinder perfect binder for book-block production. It runs at up to 6,000 softcovers/h. No longer in production — we still supply tooling for machines in service.
Each job you run comes with its own specific problems, and more often than not the culprit is found on the tooling shafts. The standard finishing tools supplied with your machine aren’t accurate, versatile or delicate enough for the results you and your customers expect. At Technifold we design and build bespoke, retro-fit premium finishing tools to solve both common and complex finishing problems.
Your KM490, finished properly.
