The Tornado Autopunch EX is proven to reduce labor costs by up to 40%. It effortlessly collates and punches a diverse range of documents — from essential business reports and day planners to sleek pocket calendars, agendas, and detailed instruction manuals. The Tornado streamlines print production processes with its ability to produce over 100 books/hour across most document configurations. It's the world's first automated collating punch, eliminating:
- manual collation of covers, index tabs, and inserts
- manual punching of covers, index tabs, and inserts
- manual separation of book stacks after punching
- manual paper lift punching
The dies are equipped with RFID chips for reduced job setup time, and an intuitive 7" touchscreen display allows the operator to sequence and program each job. The Tornado's BDT technology separates, lifts, and transports a wide range of media reliably, minimizing downtime. It features interposer bins that hold book media and auto-collates front/back covers, inserts, and index tabs into the book block during punching. The machine can punch up to 10,800 sheets per hour and offset stack the finished book blocks in the exit stacker.
