1.1 Description
The Buskro BK730-2 Tabber/Labeler is designed to apply pressure-sensitive tabs onto
mail pieces and can be used as a wrap-around tabbing unit or as a labeling system. The
system consists of two major components, the transport base, which conveys the mail
piece, and the tabbing head, which applies the individual tabs. The system offers full
flexibility in its ability to apply a number of tabs on either edge of the mail piece.
Simplified mechanical adjustments and software controlled tab placement functions offer
unsurpassed ease of use permitting rapid job setups.
The mail piece, which is conveyed into the system by a feeder or inkjet system, is
transported against a registration rail resulting in a tightly controlled tab-wrap. In addition,
the presence of but a few mechanical adjustments for thickness and edge selection, gives
the operator the tools necessary to accurately and rapidly setup for a variety of mail
pieces.
In keeping with Buskro’s philosophy of ease of use, the Tabber/Labeler head is designed
with many innovative features. The Tabber/Labeler head is controlled through software
via an operator keypad that permits rapid selection of the number of tabs dispensed and
their placement positions. A unique tab-sensing feature allows the operator to easily
adjust the tab pitch at a touch of a button. The Tabber/Labeler head was designed with a
few mechanical parts to allow easy tab threading and machine setup resulting in improved
productivity. The Tabber/Labeler head is mounted on two aluminum extrusion rails that
allow the Tabber/Labeler head to be moved easily from side to side to allow tabbing of
either edge of the mail piece and facilitate fine tune adjustments. In addition, the peel
point assembly can be adjusted up and down and laterally for different material and tab
thickness.
All these features, in addition to the manufacturing quality and innovative product design,
add up to an extremely functional Tabbing/Labeling system capable of years of reliable
and trouble free operation.
