Reliable suction rotor feeding
VAC-600Hm
VAC-600Hm
Air is blown into the stack to float
the sheets. The air rotor then
picks-up the top sheet and
rotates to advance the sheet.
When any bin in the first collator
section empties, the system
immediately switches over to
the second section and
continues collating. This
maximizes efficiency by giving
the operator ample time to
prepare stock for reloading.

Preset Tabbing
Up to 2 tab sheets can be
inserted to every pre-set
collation. Especially useful for
inserting two sheets as front and
back covers.
The operator can run sets into the bookletmaking
system at the left side, while at the same time collating
straight sets into the receiving tray on the right side of
the system. The right side delivery is useful for
collating reverse-numbering jobs because the sheets
are turned over during transport.

Efficient programming functions
Horizon’s unique suction rotor feeding
system can feed a wide variety of paper
stocks. Even signatures can be fed
consistently. The feed wheel employs a
special, highly durable rubber for totally
mark-less feeding. Feed height sensors and
air blowers enable a broad range of sheets
to be fed with ease.
The VAC-1000 can collate using
10 bins in a single tower.
Maximum 6 towers can be
connected for a 60-bin system.
Sheets can be piled up to 130 mm
in each bin of the VAC-600H to
reduce bin loading time. This
provides the operator with ample
time to prepare stock for reloading.

Criss-Cross Receiving Tray CCR/CCR-DX
Selection
The criss-cross receiving tray swings
90 degrees at each collating interval,
clearly separating collated sets to
simply post-collating processes. This
is also suitable for piling sets onto
previously collated sets.
Paper Jogger PJ-77
Advanced bookletmaking system solution
Stacker Receiving Tray ST-20
Selection
The stacker receiving tray shifts each
collated set laterally, separating the
collated sets. When an empty pallet is
presented, the stacker rises to its
home position to start collating.
Option
Driven by an independent motor, the
paper jogger vibrates collated sheets
into perfect alignment. The jogger
tray rises automatically by a foot
switch to start collating.
Stacker Receiving Tray for Right Side Delivery ST-20R
Option
Errored sets are delivered to
the built-in reject tray for
non-stop operation. Connected
between the collating and
bookletmaking systems, the
ST-40 serves as a
high-capacity offset or straight
stacking device.
Tandem Stacker ST-60
Three-knife Trimmer HTS-30S
Bookletmaking System SPF-200A+FC-200A
Option
The SA-40 can be connected
between the collator and the
ST-40. The SA-40
accumulates the sheets
delivered from the collator and
stabilizes the sheet jog for the
stitcher for quality
bookletmaking.
