Formax Atlas-AS Air Feed Document Folder

The Formax ATLAS-AS Air-Feed Document Folder combines high-volume output with user-friendly features in a rugged, small footprint. With variable speed control, it can process up to 27,500 sheets per hour. Its 7" full-color touchscreen control panel allows operators to set up jobs easily and to program an unlimited number of jobs into memory. The fold rollers are made of a durable composite material designed to easily grip high-gloss paper, and are housed in a single patented pull-out cassette.

The powerful air suction feed table of the Atlas -AS handles a wide variety of coated or non-coated stock, up to 26.5" in length, and aligns the sheets prior to folding. It also features a suction chamber to control curled or statically charged paper. Standard features include a modular perforator/scorer which can also be used as a roller bypass, allowing cover stock to be folded and output flat. The outfeed stacker features rollers which adjust automatically, and is located on the same side as the infeed, allowing operators to easily operate the Atlas-AS from a single position. Double document and jam detection, batch counting, anti-static brushes, skew and micro adjustments complete the user-friendly package.
