The Orbit enables:
• Efficient production with the highest net output
• Consistently high product quality across the entire performance range
• Fast make-ready times through a high degree of automation
• Simple operation

Consistently high product quality with SmartPress Technology
In three-knife trimming, consistent cutting conditions are a prerequisite to uniformly high product quality. SmartPress technology was developed for this reason – providing for a gentle, controlled pressing process in which air between the paper can fully escape from the product. This approach to compact book pressing is the optimal pre-condition for the perfect trim.

Advantages of the adaptive SmartPress technology:
• Optimal escape of air during the pressing process
• Strong and product-protective pressing
• Consistent quality through individual adaptation of pressing from book to book

Decoupled trimming unit
Optimum trimming speed is a decisive factor in the production of a high- quality, adhesive-bound end product. For that reason, the Orbit Three-Knife Trimmer’s transport, pressing and trimming unit are driven independently of one another. The independent knife drive ensures optimal trimming speed, regardless of the machine speed.
