Tucker-Castleberry Printing adds new "hi-tech" bindery equipment in 2007.

2/1/07 Tucker-Castleberry Printing installed two new pieces of equipment in it's bindery to improve productivity and increase capacity.

The first was a new 45 inch POLAR 137XT cutting system with autotrim, air-flow, stacklift, jogger, scale and transomat offloader with waste removal system. This new system doubles our trimming capacity adding to our present 1998 POLAR ED137 system which is identical.

 

 

The second piece of equipment added was a continuous feed MBO B30S 664/C 30" x 50" perfection buckle folder. This new machine has a "navigation control system" with touch screen. All fold possibilities are preloaded from the MBO folding catalog, plus the capacity for an additional 200 folding configurations. All settings are saved in the computer, the operator simply has to access the desired fold pattern and the computer automatically presents the folder . . . in less than 30 seconds. So make-readies that used to take an hour or more can be done in less than five minutes! Both pieces of equipment are JDF compatible.
