An ultrasonic double feed detector, which measures the air gap in each sheet, further secures the production process. Forward and reverse jogger functions make retrieval of mis-feeds or jams easy.

A New PC Controller to Enhance Productivity

Review and edit jobs even while the DC618 is running, further reducing operator setup time and increasing efficiency. Alternatively, operators can use the colour LCD control panel for set-up and use it to save up to 250 jobs into the built in memory.

Optimise layout and productivity to create a wide range of high-value complex applications such as tear-off tickets or reply cards.

Perforation Module – Manual setup with two tools for continuous perforations or creases in the direction of paper movement.

Rotary Tool Module – Similar to the Perforator, but with automated positioning and adjustment. Perforations can stop/start in programmable positions along the sheet in the direction of paper movement.

Cross Perforation Module – Creates multiple stop/start perforations in programmable positions across the sheet.
