Product Description

The QC-S300 Collator features an advanced color touch screen operation panel and programming features that can be found commonly on more expensive suction feed collators. Boasting speeds that make this the worlds fastest tabletop friction feed collator with the ability to automatically insert tab sheets and dual cycling, this is truly a remarkable machine. The modular design of the system enables this 10 station collator to expand to 20 or even 30 bins and can be accessorized with the PS-P61 Corner Stapler and SPF9/FC-9 and F40 Booklemakers. The QC-S300's full-color touch-screen operator control makes production fast, easy and reliable. Advanced features such as cover/tab insertion, preset stop, split-tower programming (for double-bin capacity) and continuous operation make this one of the most versatile friction-feed collators available. Split-tower programming automatically divides the number of feed bins by two, allowing one set of bins to be feeding while the second is being loaded. When any bin becomes empty, the feeding automatically switches over to the second set of feed bins for continuous and efficient operation.

Product Details

  • Corner and Side Stapling in a Space-Saving Design: The Optional Model PS-P61 provides corner and side-staple options to a single 10-bin QC-S Collator. The integrated design of the PS-P61 combines the cabinet for the collator and stapler together in one space-saving design. The stapler cartridge holds 5,000 staples and notifies the operator when it's empty.
  • Stapling and Folding All-In-One: Connect your QC-S Collator to the MF-1 Stapler/Folder for a highly productive system that finishes sets of up to six letter-sized sheets in a letter fold, letter fold with corner staple or corner staple only format.
  • High-Speed Bookletmaking Made Easy: Functional, versatile, and durable, the Model SPF-9 and Model SPF-9A Bookletmakers operate either automatically in-line with either QC-S Collating System or semi-automatically by feeding in the document set manually while in off-line mode. The SPF-9A is a fully automated set-up version of the SPF-9 that allows for push-button set-up in seconds by selecting any of the four popular preset paper sizes. It can also save time on non-standard paper sizes as it has two programmable memory settings. Both the SPF-9 and SPF-9A can staple and fold up to an 80-page booklet at speeds up to 2,100 sets per hour.
  • Add Face Trimming: Increase the professional appearance of every finished book without sacrificing productivity by adding the optional in-line face trimmer. Each SPF Bookletmaker has a matching face trimmer that efficiently trims away the shingled uneven lead edges of a folded booklet to ensure the highest-quality appearance.
  • Modular Design Adds Versatility: Expandable up to 3 towers, for up to 30 feed bins. The QC-S Collators and the SPF accessories offer unparalleled levels of productivity and versatility. Dual-direction feed capability in a multiple-tower system allows two different jobs to be run simultaneously. Increase productivity by producing booklets on one end while straight or offset stacking on the other. It's simple, clean, highly productive and reliable.

Staff Review

Standard QC-S300 10 Bin Programmable Friction Feed Collator Review

The Standard QC-S300 is one of the fastest tabletop friction feed collators on the market today. Offering high versatility in a compact design, this machine rapidly prepares sheet sets for further handling. It's a high performance device ideal for growing large production businesses, as it can expand with productivity needs. Here is a closer look.

Strengths:

  • The main difference between this and the QC-S30 is the color touch screen with programmable features. This allows you to automatically insert tab sheets and covers. If you have two towers, you can use split tower programming for dual cycling. While one tower is feeding, the other can be loaded. As the feeding stops from the first, it automatically switches to the second. This allows continuous, efficient collating and is a huge time saver.

  • Sheet opacity is used to detect a number of potential errors, including a missed bin, double feed, and a jam. There are also alerts for a full receiving tray, open transport door, and an empty bin, saving you diagnostic time and allowing quick fixing of any issues.

  • Each of the ten bins on a tower have a 1.1" capacity, which equals over 200 sheets of 20lb bond. Up to three towers can work congruently to offer 10, 20, and 30 stations. Paper can vary from as small as 5.5" by 6.9" up to 12" by 17". This device also accepts a wide variety of weights, ranging from 14lb bond up to 67lb index and includes NCR and some coated stocks.

  • Items are processed as fast as 3900 sets per hour, assuming five sheet sets of 8.5" by 11" paper. That is one of the world's fastest collation rates. Even with 11" by 17" paper, materials run through in sets of five at 2100 sets per hour. The finished product sits in a receiving stacker that holds almost three inches worth of paper. Sets can be stacked straight or offset, depending on your preference.

  • The extreme versatility of this collator comes from the available addition of multiple machines. A stapler aids in the production of packets and surveys. Stapler/Folder additions provide an efficient way to create large quantities of multi-page mass mailings. Finally, a booklet maker can staple, fold, and trim pages for a professional finished look. The best part is, you can start with the collator and purchase these additions at a later date as your needs change and grow.

  • Standard guarantees this model with a 90 day warranty.

Weaknesses:

  • The variety of paper accepted is ample for most businesses. However, some offices would prefer the option of folding 12" by 18" paper. For that, we suggest the MBM FC-10.

  • As you probably know, this is a large, heavy machine before any additions. There are casters on the bottom for added mobility but be sure you have the room for this device before you buy.

It's clear from the many strengths that the QC-S300 is an ideal system for any large office or production printing company. With the ability to grow with your needs, this is an excellent investment. Instead of someday needing a bigger replacement, you can just purchase additional towers to work with a system already in place. This along with the efficient functionality make the QC-S300 highly recommended for any workplace needing a heavy duty collation system.
