Straight Shooter SA-5 Card Attaching Feeder Demo
Product Details
The Straight Shooter SA-5 is a production-tier servo-driven card placement and attaching feeder — used by financial card operations, membership programs, and healthcare ID card production. This video shows the system attaching cards to carrier mailings at production speed.
What this video shows: Carrier mailings moving down the production line, the card attaching head picking individual cards from the supply magazine, registering each to the carrier position, and attaching with hot melt adhesive. Per-piece placement accuracy at production rate.
Who buys the Straight Shooter SA-5 card attaching feeder: Financial card operations producing high-volume card mailings (credit, debit, prepaid). Healthcare and insurance operations producing member ID card mailings. Membership and loyalty programs handling welcome-packet card attachment. Operations needing production-tier card-mail capability.
Why a production-tier attacher over manual or smaller card-attach: Manual card attachment caps line throughput at operator pace — fraction of production rate with inconsistent placement. Smaller card-attach equipment fits low-volume work; production-tier systems handle the volume and pace that financial and large-scale operations require.
Key specs: Straight Shooter SA-5 card attaching feeder | Substrate: plastic cards (CR-80 and variants) | Attach methods: hot melt adhesive is normally used, configuration-dependent | Throughput: production-tier card-placement rate | Multiple configurations available (servo, integrated with print) | Inline integration with carrier print and addressing
Frequently asked
Which configuration is right for our operation?
Servo attachers handle variable formats easily and with quick set up. Integrated Read & Print configurations handle variable-content card printing alongside attach. Specific choice depends on volume and format variability — a Mailtech specialist can scope.
Can the system handle different card types in one job?
Within a single configuration, one card format per job is typical. Mixed-format runs typically require different configurations or job-level batching.
Does the system include card encoding (magnetic stripe, chip)?
Card attaching is placement and attach. For inline encoding (mag stripe, chip), separate encoding modules integrate into the line. Combined configurations are standard for financial card programs.
