11 NAGEL S8 For finishing professionals The S8 suction feed collator is tailored to the specific needs of medium-sized print shops and binderies. Due to its extremely short set-up times, the S8 is particularly suited for frequently changing run lengths. It can be operated with one, two or three towers, as needed. With three towers, the S8 can collate up to 24 sheets / 96 pages. Threefold performance Each tower can be used separately and has a maximum output of 5,000 sets per hour the large capacity of the individual bins makes frequent reloading unnecessary. The Nagel S8 is very flexible in its application: At the push of a button, the user can switch from three-tower to single-tower operation. The unit delivers to the right or the left. The speed can be adjusted infinitely and there is only one set in the machine at any time. This prevents paper jams and spoilage. All 24 bins of the S8 have an automatic miss feed and double feed detector and will not draw in overlapping sheets. The separate suction and blast air adjustment for each tower is particularly useful when sheets of different paper types are collated. Due to the smart suction belt design and the easy make-ready, even inexperienced users can set up the machine after a short instruction. The S8 can be operated also in the Robo-Feeder-Mode. Thus 8 tables are available for paper feeding which can be programmed individually and selected variably. The independence from printing process is an enormous advantage for the bookletmaking; Particularly if digital and offset prints should be collated into one and the same brochure.

12 NAGEL Robo-Feeder Finishing in digital printing The Nagel Robo-Feeder reduces the cost and man-power involved in bookletmaking: Due to its short set-up times, this special feeder is particularly suited for small, medium, and frequently changing run lengths in digital printing. Its versatility enables digital print shops to process even highly specialized jobs at a profit. The Robo-Feeder works faster than a digital printing press and can therefore feed print output from multiple presses. It works with all printers and digital presses and will not become outdated when other machinery does. A sorter at the printer is unnecessary, since the Robo-Feeder automatically separates the stacked sheets into sets. The feeder reliably processes booklets of up to 100 pages and cover sheets printed digitally or using offset. A generous capacity of 1,300 sheets (80 gsm) makes frequent reloading unnecessary. An important feature of the Robo-Feeder is the insertion of heavy cover stock. The feeder combines black-andwhite sheets and coloured cover sheets without any problems. The separate suction and blast air adjustment ensures a gentle processing of digital prints and prevents marks on sensitive surfaces. The optional mark reader supports fault detection in case of a wrong order of sheets, thereby reducing spoilage. It also allows the user to produce booklets with different numbers of sheets. This function is valuable for personalized prints in particular. Linking the Robo-Feeder to the Foldnak Compact or Foldnak 100 bookletmaking line with Trimmer 100, SP 100 or SP 100 Compact will create a production line in which booklets are collated, stapled, folded, square-pressed and then pressed and trimmed.
