According to UK distributor Intelligent Finishing Systems (IFS), the upgrade enables each clamp to be set independently, which will improve the flexibility and productivity of the machine.
Joint IFS managing director Bryan Godwyn said: "Horizon in Japan has a very proactive research and development arm and embraced the opportunity to improve its already leading-edge technology.
"This is a perfect development for operations with a customer base that requires runs of one or runs of thousands. Using this software, printers can provide a fast and effective response time no matter how big or small the job."
The Horizon BQ470 can bind books up to 65mm thick at up to 1,350cph.
