Drupa Highlights Bindery Basics

Riso introduced its first Riso-branded collator, the TC5100, available by year's end. It comes as a single or a twin, with 10 bins on each, and collates up to 60 sets a minute. Each bin holds 280 sheets of A3 paper.

The Challenge Machinery Co. showed the Champion 305 XT programmable paper cutter with a 10.4˝ diagonal color touch-screen display. Managers can program jobs on a PC, save them on a disk and give the disk to the operator. This, according to Challenge's Robb Gould, lets shops hire less-experienced operators. By Graph Expo the cutter will incorporate a pile lift device.
