The Formax FD 290 Crash and Edge 90 Degree System is the ideal solution to meet all current and future USPS tabbing requirements. The FD 290 combines the FD 280 Double-Head Edge Tabber and FD 260 Single-Head Crash Tabber for one-pass tabbing of booklets and virtually all other tabbing jobs. The FD 290 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 FD 290 can also be used in-line with other tabletop labelers, feeders, and printers.
With the addition of the optional FD 280-10 Heavy Duty Feeder, operators can input a stack of up to 12” of material to be tabbed, up to 3/8” thick. The optional FD 280-20 High Volume Tab Delivery Module handles rolls of up to 150,000 tabs, which reduces down-time caused by reloading tabs. The optional FD 260-20 Conveyor offers adjustable speed from 0 - 120 fpm, and stacks tabbed pieces in a neat, sequential order for easy removal.
