When switching products, format changes are carried out by the new PreTronic N presetting system.
In the area of mailroom control, Ferag will be presenting LineMaster with a newly designed interactive interface. Grouping the principal functions together on a single screen display makes it easy for operators to configure and operate the line and is an effective way to lighten the production monitoring workload.
The UniDrum gathering-stitching system and the SNT-U trimming drum will be on show for the first time with central PreTronic CV presetting. At a touch of the screen, all relevant components automatically reset to the entered values in a matter of seconds. With QualityEye, Ferag has developed a Quality Assurance system based on image recognition. The system detects each separate folded sheet and monitors the correct sheet position during the gathering process.
With the all new PolyStream, Ferag is establishing polybagging on an industrial scale. PolyStream produces at 30,000 foil-wrapped and addressed bundles per hour and surpasses familiar systems by a factor of three. The gathering, packaging and welding functions have undergone fundamental redevelopment. For the first time, the repair function has been integrated into the gathering process.
The Pacesetter+Ferag is a new gatherer-stitcher that can be expanded to accept up to 40 hoppers for selective binding with inside and outside printing. The new SNT-30 trimming drum has been integrated into the system in order to pass on the maximum 25,000 cph performance and carry out parallel processing of different high-page-count products.
In conjunction with the Pacesetter+Ferag, WRH Marketing will be presenting its JobFolio range of components. Launched last month in Austraila JobFolio incorporates selected, CE-compliant quality products for use with finishing systems from Ferag and other manufacturers.
