The Formax Atlas C300 Automatic Creaser/Folder produces high-speed creasing and folding in a single pass. Sheets pass through the dynamic creasing matrix and the patented “floating knife” folding mechanism, which minimize marking of the digital printout. Speed is maintained, regardless of the number of creases: up to 9 sheets with 9 creases each can be produced in less than 9 seconds.
It includes the same powerful, rugged features as the C100 and C200, and can be used as a stand-alone creaser, or as a perforator when creasing and folding are not required. The Formax Atlas C300 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 7” Color Touchscreen feature a full color graphics-based control panel. Operators can easily use one of the six pre-programmed settings or run custom jobs. Set-up and save jobs in just minutes, simply enter the sheet size and number of creases and the crease positions are set automatically. Users can program and save up to an unlimited number of jobs using alpha-numeric naming for easy retrieval. The Atlas C300 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.
The Atlas C300 is a fully-automatic air-feed creaser / folder offers variable speed control to accommodate a wide variety of sheet sizes and thicknesses. The Atlas Creaser line features a powerful bottom-suction air-feed system which allows for continuous loading of documents. The feed drum pauses as the vacuum pulls down the sheet to ensure accurate feeding. This permits a greater number of sheets to be loaded at once, including heavier stocks. The feed gap is easily set by turning the gate disk left or right to accommodate the paper thickness
The rugged and accurate creasing matrix is guaranteed for life. the heavy-duty creasing matrix uses a channel and anvil to create the crease. This embosses the printed sheet and eliminates cracking of the folded edge, providing a clean, professional piece. The creasing angle and pressure can be adjusted to accommodate different paper weights to provide the most accurate crease possible and the floating knife folding technology prevents marks and scratches.
With rugged metal construction and a compact footprint, the Atlas C300 is an ideal addition to small print shops and production facilities that want to expand their digital print finishing capabilities.
