2. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the FuturoPunch Pro. It is a versatile
production system that will enable you to punch documents for a variety
of binding styles by means of a simple die change. It has also been
designed for easy operation.
The FuturoPunch Pro is an innovative solution for punching paper and
offers the following design features:
Duty Cycle and Product Positioning
The GBC FuturoPunch Pro provides a flexible, cost effective punching
solution for light to medium level punching production environments. It is
designed for production print users that typically punch their documents
at an average of 20-30% of their overall workflow. For customers that run
continuous punching for long runs of over 4 hours, performance may
vary or degrade due to a wide range of media weights and environmental
conditions that can occur.
AMPV - Nominal 600,000 average monthly print volume (A4/letter),
assuming volume is split 50/50 between punch and bypass (300,000
punch and 300,000 bypass).
.
Maximum Recommended Monthly Volume - The maximum
recommended monthly punch volume should NOT exceed 400,000.
Maximum Punch Duty Cycle - In addition to the aforementioned
conditions, no more than 2 sheets of 300gsm per 5 sheets of 75gsm
should be punched. The heaviest paper stocks are typically used as only
the front and back covers of the bound book application
Operating Die Set Supplies
Dies are considered consumables and when worn, must be replaced
since sharpening is not possible.
Each die set has a 90-day warranty from the date of purchase. The
warranty is void if the die is used beyond its specifications.
Punch die life will be maximized if oiled every 100,000 punch cycles (see
Dieset Service for details)
Die sets have an expected use life of 750,000 punches using
20 lb/75 gsm paper. This is a minimum life expectation only. Die life is
NOT guaranteed due to a wide range of media weights and
environmental conditions that the dies may endure. If you are going to
be punching extended runs that exceed the die use life, it is strongly
recommended that you have sufficient numbers of the appropriate die
sets on hand to continue with minimal downtime.
FuturoPunch Pro
Quick-change die sets that can be interchanged without any tools.
All FuturoPunch Pro die sets include an Identification Label
providing the user with the hole pattern and name.
Convenient storage area for two extra Die Sets.
