Accufast KT-ET Tabbing System

Legacy model - page is here for informational purposes only

The Accufast KT-ET Tabbing System is the ideal solution to meet all current and future USPS tabbing requirements. The tabbing system combines the Accufast ET Double-Head Edge Tabber and Accufast KT Single-Head Crash Tabber for one-pass tabbing of booklets and virtually all other tabbing jobs. It applies edge and top tabs in a single pass, processing up to 15,000 pieces per hour.

A variety of 1” and 1.5” tab stocks can be used, including clear, translucent and paper, with built-in waste take-up spools to reduce down time. It has the unique ability to easily change between 1” and 1.5” tabs, simply by flipping a switch. Tabs can be fed fan-folded or from rolls for higher volume. The KT-ET can also be used in-line with other tabletop labelers, feeders, and printers.

With the addition of the optional Accufast HDF Heavy Duty Feeder, operators can input a stack of up to 12” of material to be tabbed, up to 3/8” thick. The optional Accufast LDM High Volume Tab Delivery Module handles rolls of up to 150,000 tabs, which reduces down-time caused by reloading tabs. The optional Accufast 3FV Conveyor offers adjustable speed from 0 - 120 fpm, and stacks tabbed pieces in a neat, sequential order for easy removal.
