Dual-Mode Bourg Sheet Feeder (BSF)

Best-of-both-worlds finishing solution allows multiple printers, Xerox and non-Xerox, to share one finishing device.

Dual-Mode Bourg Sheet Feeder (BSF)

Overview

Placed in-line between a press and the document finishing equipment, the versatile Dual-Mode Bourg Sheet Feeder (BSF) offers the efficiency and integrity of in-line production with the flexibility of off-line operation. Its innovative dual-mode design lets you shift your finishing resources to accommodate jobs from multiple marking engines, all with the same high degree of set-secure integrity as jobs produced in-line.

The Dual-Mode Bourg Sheet Feeder (BSF) is the perfect solution for users in printing facilities with multiple presses who want to maximise document finishing, perfect binding and booklet-making efficiency, flexibility and productivity while preserving job integrity – allowing you to drive more jobs through your shop with lower cost, fewer errors and faster turnaround times.

Key Features

  • Innovative dual-mode operation combines the efficiency and integrity of in-line finishing with the flexibility of off-line finishing in one solution

  • Serves as the gateway from multiple offline presses to a single fully automated finishing system via the IntegratedPLUS Finishing Solution

  • Dual feeding stations permit loading of collated content and covers or other content separately

  • Combine two BSFs for a tandem configuration for automatic switching between units, allowing non-stop finishing of jobs from in-line and off-line printers

  • Accommodates pre-collated job stacks up to 500 mm high from stacker carts compatible with a wide range of presses

  • Carts of several Xerox printers can be directly inserted in the BSF (no extra compatibility kit necessary)

  • Optional air-table for stack carts enables "virtually hands-free" transfer of paper stacks into high-pile feeding station

  • Permits manually placing stacks of covers or content up to 160 mm in height into the low-pile top drawer

  • Accepts a wide range of sheet sizes – from a minimum 203.2 x 177.8 mm up to a maximum of 660 x 364 mm

  • Self-calibrating, precision ultrasonic double-miss detection is unaffected by paper weight and quality

  • Fully automated sheet feeding of up to 18,000 sheets/hour makes quick work of the largest jobs

  • Operates with Bourg booklet makers, perfect binders and accessories to produce a broad range of finished documents, books, and booklets with or without full-bleed and squared-edges

Your Challenges

Printing professionals in environments with multiple digital presses are struggling to determine whether their document finishing, booklet-making and perfect binding assets will provide the most value inline or offline. This involves difficult choices, deciding what engine to dedicate to a specific finishing line in order to get the work done without sacrificing workflow efficiency.

Key Challenges

  • Industry trends toward shorter print runs and quicker turnaround times put constant pressure on operating efficiency.

  • Relentless demand for quality finished products in a wide range of finished styles and sizes strains the capabilities of workflow, equipment and staff.

  • Need for set integrity in digital, variable data environments requires reducing human error.

  • Shrinking supply of skilled labour makes it harder to find workers capable of operating complex finishing machinery.

  • Tighter budgets, less floor space and smaller staff sizes have become "the new normal" – increasing demands for efficiency at all operational levels.
