The Watkiss DigiVAC combines reliable sheet feeding with a constant work-flow to make it the most productive and easy-to-use collator ever.

The revolutionary patented suction feed system feeds sheets from the bottom of the stack. You reload the bins while the machine is still running, before the bins actually run out.  The result is non-stop productivity.

The feed and paper transport has been designed to be gentle with delicate digitally printed stocks and a single user interface is used to control the entire system – collating, stitching, folding and trimming. This gives fast set-up and easy operation.

The Watkiss Vario combines speed, reliability and ease of use to deliver productive and cost effective collating every time; with every feature contributing to overall efficiency.

The Vario is the only truly modular vertical collating system in the world. Customers can purchase exactly the machine configuration needed now, with the ability to upgrade or add to the machine in the future.

Available as a floor-standing or a bench top machine, with suction or friction feeders and a range of online booklet making and stacking accessories, the Watkiss Vario can be tailored to suit each individual customer.

The Watkiss Vario provides selective sheet feeding and binding for special applications, including customised sets and integration within other systems. Advanced programming features allow you to programme special feed sequences on-screen without the need for an external computer. Alternatively, external communication with other machines or systems via RS232, Ethernet or CAN is supported if required.

The Watkiss PowerSquare 200 is a unique and innovative complete book making system for digital and offset print applications.

In a single machine it combines the four processes of stitching, folding, spine forming and trimming to produce SquareBack™ books up to 200 pages thick. It features fully automatic settings for different book size and pagination, including variable stitch leg length for varying book thickness.

The maximum book thickness, of 10mm (200 pages 80gsm), is double that of alternative conventional booklet making machines, so it is ideally suited to higher paginations or to thicker stocks.

The PowerSquare is available in online, nearline or offline configurations. Online versions include automatic sheet rotation to suit the book making process whilst maximising printing speed. For offline applications, a high speed sheet feeder can be connected, or the Powersquare is available as a hand-fed model providing a flexible book making solution which is instantly ready.

The Watkiss P2T two-knife trimmer connects to the Watkiss PowerSquare booklet making system to enable full-bleed print jobs to be produced in a single-pass direct from the printer, without any intermediary handling. The need to trim the sheets on a guillotine either before or after booklet making is removed.

The entire booklet making operation – stitching, folding, spine-forming, face-trimming and side-trimming - is quick and easy to control from the intuitive colour touchscreen. The operator simply enters the paper size, finished book size and number of stitches that are required. If needed, the side trimming can be offset to match the printed image.

Watkiss are demonstrating the P2T on their drupa stand producting high pagination digitally printed colour booklets and photo books.

The P2T is on show as offline and online versions.
