Tab-Serter with Short
Pedestal and Short Tape Channel
A Tab-Serter is a device that will place a paper tape marker in a stack of paper from a printer. When used with the specially designed electronic counter – controller, the tape marker is precisely marks the paper stack.
General Information
This Tab-Serter is a redesign of the forty-year-old Badger Meter tabber. The best points of the Badger device have been retained while improvements have been made to lengthen the life and increase the speed of the Tab-Serter.
Improvements
Two solenoids are used instead of one.
One solenoid advances the tape and then a second solenoid cuts the tape.
Each solenoid is pulsed for a fraction of a second so they never
run hot.
The clutch spring used in the Badger tabber has been replaced with an off
the shelf roller bearing clutch with a long life.
A new, easy-to-set, electronic counter with a simple menu is included.
Input speed to the counter has been increased to 20,000 sheets/hour.
Maximum tab rate is one/second.
