Details

Technical overview

The MFP Lite is built as an inline post-processor for high-speed digital printers. It combines horizontal and vertical perforating, file-hole punching and sprocket punching in one compact module — all tools programmable in continuous, selective or dynamic mode. Two web speeds (100 or 150 m/min) and two trim levels (Lite / Ext Lite). Operates pre- or post-printer.

Configuration

The MFP Lite is configured to customer specification. The following parameters are agreed during the engineering conversation:

Position: before or after the printer
Speed: 100, 130 or 152 m/min
Document depth: A4, 11", 12" or custom
Motorised infeed: yes or no
Horizontal perforating beams: 1 to 4 (more on request), continuous / selective / dynamic mode
Vertical perforating heads: 2, 4, 6 or 8 per cassette, continuous / selective / dynamic mode
File-hole punching: 2-hole or 4-hole (custom patterns possible), continuous / selective / dynamic mode
Sprocket punching: standard, double row or custom
Intelligent control: barcode or OMR
Printer model: model code required as soon as multiple tools are addressed simultaneously

Note on sprocket punching

The MFP Lite and the larger MFP are the only units on the market that can perform sprocket punching (or any of their other features) after the printer. The benefit: no dust and no loose pinfeed remnants inside the printer — better printer up-time and reliability.

Frequently asked

What can the MFP Lite do that other post-processors cannot?

The MFP Lite (and the larger MFP) are the only units on the market that perform sprocket punching and other punching operations AFTER the printer. Result: no paper dust and no loose sprockets in the printer — better uptime, better reliability.

Which operations does the MFP Lite handle?

Dynamic horizontal and vertical perforation, file hole punching and sprocket punching. The tooling-options package can be combined to address application-specific finishing requirements.

Is the MFP Lite designed for online operation with my digital press?

Yes. The MFP Lite is engineered for online operation with high-speed digital printers and finishing equipment. The dynamic selectivity adapts on the fly to variable-data jobs.

How does the MFP Lite reduce operational cost?

Two ways: less printer downtime (no dust, no debris) and less manual rework on the finishing side. The "Better by Design" engineering principle prioritises operator-friendly maintenance and tool changes.

Can the MFP Lite handle new applications I have not yet defined?

That is its core promise — the tooling-options package is built to grow with your application portfolio. New perforation patterns, hole positions and punch geometries can be added without replacing the unit.
