We no longer have the ‘have-the-job-but-can’t-get-it-done-in-time’ issue. Lead times are 30–50% less.
— Brett Keene, CEO, Suttle-Straus
Operators no longer need to swap out heavy gears to change perforation spacing. The operator simply chooses the appropriate length on the touch-screen control panel.
The TC 1750 HS is a versatile solution designed for roll-to-roll or roll-to-stack (fanfold) applications, operating inline or nearline with laser and digital inkjet presses. Engineered for precision and efficiency, the TC 1750 HS combines dualside pinfeed punching with a rotating blade cylinder for fanfold perforations.
The TC 1750 HS may be configured either before or after the high-speed digital printer. The new post-printer configuration eliminates any possible risk of contamination of printing heads from paper dust generated by the punching or perforating process.
Whether before or after the printer, the TC 1750 HS is equipped with a vacuum system to clean the web and prevent paper dust from being transferred to the following process.

Optional Capabilities
Onboard Web Tensioner/Detensioner
An optional Web Tensioner ensures optimal handling of loose web input, while a Detensioner manages loose web output for seamless integration with subsequent finishing modules. Both options are available onboard, reducing the overall footprint of the print line.
TC 1707 MPD
The Mark Printing Device enables synchronization with printers that do not support registration to tractor holes, ensuring seamless compatibility with a wide range of systems.
Tecnau Connect
Tecnau Connect consists of a touchscreen PC and software to control one or multiple post processing and finishing lines. The operator can visualize, set up and control each machine from one single access point, simplifying its activity and reducing the time needed to setup and monitor the production area.
