Watkiss BookMaster & BookMaster Pro
Designed for maximum performance and cost effectiveness, the Bookmasters may be used off-line for hand feeding, or on-line to Watkiss Vario and Watkiss DigiVAC collators, as well as other manufacturers' bench-top and table-top collators. Intelligent bi-directional communication ensures collator and booklet maker both stop should any type of error occur.
The sheets are jogged at the end and on each side, both above and below the fold rollers, to ensure perfectly squared up sheets every time. They are then stapled with the unique BookMaster stapling system before being passed through steel fold rollers and an additional pair of crushing rollers to produce a neat crisp fold. Finished booklets are delivered onto a high capacity conveyor at an ergonomically comfortable height.
Stapling System - The BookMaster has a unique low impact stapling mechanism that ensures virtually maintenance free operation. The main wearing parts are included in the staple cartridge (rather than the staple head), and so they are replaced every 5,000 cycles when the cartridge is changed. In effect, changing the cartridge also services the staple head. As a result, over one million cycles can be run before maintenance is required. A sensor alerts the operator when the staple cartridge is nearly empty, and replacement takes only a matter of seconds.
Automatic Setup - A fully automatic version, the BookMaster Pro, has simple push button operation to adjust the sidelays, endjog and staple/fold position. When used on-line with a Watkiss Vario or DigiVAC+ collator, a single integrated control panel runs the entire system. When used off-line, or with other makes of collator, a separate control panel is available.
Optional Motorized Infeed - The optional powered Motorized Infeed allows the BookMaster to be used when feeding to the rear of Watkiss Vario bench-top collators or other manufacturers' bench-top and table-top collaters. The Motorized Infeed also makes off-line use even easier. It includes a convenient paper tray to hold the sheets while the operator is hand feeding the machine.
