OFFLINE FINISHING SYSTEM

Innotech Variable Size Offline Finishing System offers the capability to process preprinted rolls of paper to produce various direct mail pieces. In addition, these pieces may be personalized by addition of an Imaging station. Offline Finishing provides many advantages by separating the relatively slower finishing operations form the press and thereby enabling the presses to run at the top speeds. In addition, a variable size line can process rolls of different repeat lengths printed on different presses. Innotech has the expertise to provide INLINE as well as OFFLINE Finishing Systems to meet customers requirements.

A typical finishing system is located downstream of customer's ink-jet imaging station and consists of a controlled infeed, a ribbon deck, wet gluer, several plow towers, each with two rotary plows and a variable size Gap-Cutting Rotary Cutter. The finishing products are delivered in a shingled stream onto a delivery conveyor. Auxiliary equipment include a web guide and print to cut register system.

The variable size rotary cutter can cut and deliver 2,3 and 4 around products from various repeat lengths. To minimize make ready time, additional cutter-heads can be provided with a quick change over system. Thus, the knives can be set for the next job while the cutterhead is in a special stand adjacent to the Rotary Cutter.
