AutoSeal FD 2200-10

The AutoSeal FD 2200-10 Stand-Alone pressure sealer is the ideal solution for high-volume mailers who want to utilize existing floor model folding systems. The ability to purchase a “sealer-only” system versus a complete folding and sealing solution drastically reduces the up-front cost of adding pressure seal capability.

The 2200-10 utilizes a patented pressure seal system that has been carefully engineered and refined to process pressure seal forms at speeds of up to 40,000 pieces per hour, combined with heavy-duty construction built to last in the most demanding environments.

Standard features include a precision ground clutching four-roller system, an 8-ball transport deck to provide a smooth transition from the fold rollers to the sealer, plus infrared fault detectors, safety interlock, and heavy-duty casters.

ATLAS Air-Feed Document Folder

The ATLAS Air-Feed Document Folder combines high-volume output with user-friendly features in a rugged, small footprint. With variable speed control, it can process up to 27,000 sheets per hour. Six standard folds are pre-set in letter, legal and ledger paper sizes, making it easy for operators to setup and run jobs. Fully-enclosed fold plates feature dials to select fold plate position and LED displays accurate to 0.1mm. The fold rollers are made of a durable composite material designed to easily grip high-gloss paper, and are housed in a single patented pull-out cassette.

The powerful air suction feed table handles a wide variety of coated or non-coated stock, up to 25.5” in length, and aligns the sheets prior to folding. It also features a suction chamber to control curled or statically charged paper.

Standard features include a modular perforator/scorer which can also be used as a roller bypass, allowing cover stock to be folded and output flat. The belt-driven outfeed stacker is located on the same side as the infeed, allowing operators to easily operate the Atlas from a single position. Double document and jam detection, batch counting, anti-static brushes, skew and micro adjustments complete the user-friendly package.

Atlas C102 Auto-Feeding Creaser/Perforator

In today’s digital print environment, it’s not enough to simply print a piece; it must be finished properly for a clean, professional look. The Atlas C102 Auto-Feeding Creaser/Perforator is a fully-automatic, user-friendly solution to solve the problem of cracking in toner-based digital prints. Utilizing a unique creasing matrix, it compresses paper fibers instead of cutting them, virtually eliminating cracks on a creased or folded edge.

The quick-release blade system makes it easy to swap between creasing and perforating blades and requires no tools. It features variable creasing depth, which can be adjusted using a simple sliding lever, to accommodate different paper weights.
An extended infeed deck now accommodates sheets up to 35” L x 13” W. The height-adjustable outfeed stacker can be moved to match the paper stack height and keeps processed sheets neatly organized for quick and easy removal.

Using the graphics-based 7” touchscreen control panel, operators can easily set-up and save jobs in just minutes or use one of the six pre-programmed settings. The C102 automatically calculates the crease positions based on paper size and sets them accordingly. The powerful bottom-suction air-feed system allows for continuous loading of sheets, which increases productivity while maintaining accuracy, even with heavier stocks.
This fully-automatic air-feed creaser offers variable speed control to accommodate a wide variety of sheet sizes and thicknesses. With the ability to produce up to 16 creases per sheet, it can process up to 8,500 sheets (8.5” x 11”) or up to 11,000 sheets (6.5” x 8.5”) per hour. Perforating capabilities are also standard, with a wide range of perf wheels to suit many different applications.

Options include a cross and part perforation kit, narrow sheet guide, narrow creasing matrix, and a variety of perforating wheels in fine and coarse teeth configurations.
With rugged metal construction and a compact footprint, the Atlas C102 is an ideal addition to small print shops and production facilities with limited space that want to expand their digital print finishing capabilities.

Atlas-TRIO15

The Atlas-TRIO15 is a revolutionary solution for digital print finishing, allowing users to slit, cut, crease and even fold in a single pass. It’s ideal for high-speed creasing and production of a wide range of jobs including business cards, postcards, brochures, booklet covers, greeting cards and more.

The Atlas-TRIO15 uses an upper-belt tri-suction feeding system, and a feed table which automatically elevates, giving it the ability to process sheets up to 13″ W x 27.5″ L, in weights from 120-350gsm. The 4″ touchscreen control panel provides three modes for various job requirements: Preset, for the most common formats and sizes, Manual, which modifies the preset jobs, and Flex mode for the greatest customization. It also stores up to 150 custom jobs, for quick and easy recall.

Production speeds vary based on media size and finished output: up to 250 business cards in under 2 minutes, single-crease jobs up to 5,000/hour. Standard features include double-feed detection, cut-mark registration, side alignment guide, skew adjustment and two standard slitting guides. Custom slitting guides are also available.

To make an even bigger impression with the printed page, the Atlas-TRIO15 can be combined with the optional AC-10 Folder which will easily transform large sheets into finished pieces. This powerful combination enables user to cut the lead and trailing edges, bleed trim the top and bottom, crease and fold, for stunning professional output.

High-speed output, user friendly controls and the ability to handle large media sizes make the Atlas-TRIO15 a great complement to today’s digital print environments.

Formax Cut-True 31H Hydraulic Guillotine Paper Cutter

The Formax Cut-True 31H Hydraulic Guillotine Paper Cutter features a hydraulic blade and clamp drive for true two-shift operation, and rugged heavy-duty construction for precision cutting of paper stacks up to 28” wide and up to 4” high. User-friendly features include a color touchscreen control panel, automatically-adjusting back gauge, an internal light to illuminate the cutting area, and the capacity to program up to 100 jobs/100 cuts.

The Cut-True 31H features an anti-friction ball deck with air-assist and extra-large side tables, making it easier for operators to maneuver large paper stock. The hydraulic clamp pressure is easily adjusted using the pressure gauge knob, to provide the best clamp possible for different paper weights and stack heights. A removable false clamp is included to minimize the risk of marking sensitive paper stock or perfect bound books. It can be easily removed to decrease the minimum cut length to 1.18”, and stored within the machine when not in use.

Standard safety features include dual-button operation and an infrared safety curtain which immediately stops operation if the light plane is interrupted. The Cut-True 31H also includes a lock with key, blade lock, automatic blade return from any position, a blade change safety tool, and a wooden paper push for safe alignment.

The Cut-True 31H is ideal for transforming large sheets into brochures, invitations, business cards, and more, with crisp, accurate cuts, and is a welcome addition to digital print shops and in-plant finishing operations.
