Millling Disks
Essential to achieve the best binding quality. Milling is
the process by which the spines of a book are prepared for adhesive
binding. It is one of the most important aspects of the binding
process. The quality of a milling tool will help determine the
strength and durability of the adhesive bond. Of particular
importance are the form of the milling teeth and the quality of the
milling tool's notching knives and roughening teeth. There are
milling disks for every type of paper; knowing which one to choose
is key in ensuring the optimum adhesive bond.
Milling disks designed by Heidelberg. To complete our
extensive portfolio of service parts, we have designed milling
disks optimized for use on Heidelberg® Eurobind® 500 and
Eurobind 1200 machines. Use only original Heidelberg milling disks
to ensure the highest production quality and keep ahead of the
competition.
Milling disks with PICs. Our new milling disks include small
roughing spires called "PICs" located on the milling teeth
themselves. PICs are designed to roughen the edge of the paper
sheet, thereby opening up the fibers. This gives the glue a better
grip on the paper and ensures a very stable adhesive bond. The
height of the notching knives can be adjusted so as to increase the
glue working surface and obtain a strong "clamp" effect.
Benefits:
- Ensures higher bond strength than other conventional milling disks
- Makes it easy to bind traditionally "difficult" paper types such as painted or coated papers
- Stronger clamp effect thanks to adjustable notching knives
