When it comes to high speed and ease of operation, nothing compares to the Duplo System 4000. This new vacuum-feed collating and bookletmaking system offers professional printing operations a complete finishing solution designed to maximize productivity throughout the finishing process. Comprising a heavy-duty collator, dynamic bookletmaker, face trimmer and precision stacker, the System 4000 is capable of producing up to 4200 booklets or 10,000 collated sets per hour, and features the industry's finest state-of-the-art feed system. In addition, its vertical design, modular styling and ability to handle a variety of paper types, sheet sizes and weights demonstrate superb versatility.
Collators: The unique vacuum feed on the System 4000 is designed to handle a wide variety of paper stocks with complete accuracy at high speed. This superior feeding system allows air and vacuum to be delivered independently to each bin by individual systems located at the bins. Whether two bins or 60 bins are used, the right amounts of air and vacuum are applied. This ensures accuracy, efficient operation and optimum productivity at all times. Detectors automatically sense when a bin has been loaded and enable all the functions of that particular bin. A touch screen, key pad and LED display keep the operator informed of the system's running status at all times. Other production-enhancing benefits include self-setting misfeed and double-feed detectors to make sure output is complete and accurate. Moreover, the System 4000 uses an advanced infrared light detection system to provide constant and highly accurate monitoring. Downtime is dramatically reduced by the System 4000's left and right reject trays, into which incorrect sets automatically are diverted without stopping the machine or interrupting production. Plus, a built-in hand-marry station dramatically speeds up the collating process when the number of sheets in a document exceeds the number of bins. It does this by allowing pre-collated sets to be merged with the output from the collator during operation. For added convenience, this tray also can be used independent of the collator for processing pre-collated output from a digital printer or copier.
Bookletmaker: The System 4000's dynamic bookletmaker is unrivalled in today's marketplace in terms of productivity and user friendliness. Setup and changeover are accomplished automatically, with no manual adjustments required. This not only reduces the need for highly skilled operators; it also saves valuable equipment training time. As an additional time saver, eight programmable memory settings allow operators to store repeat jobs and move from one to another by simply pushing a button.
