The Tab-Pro is a simple, rugged machine that can be setup quickly for production runs and is now available in an electric only version.  Stop outsourcing profitable tab jobs. With minimal training, your semi-skilled laborer can produce high quality tabs quickly. You will lower your costs and be able to quickly respond to your customer's deadlines. The price and space requirements are minimal, so any size shop can get a profitable share of the growing index tab market. Cuts 2,000-5,000 Tabs per Hour Although this rapid fire machine is capable of cutting up to 10,000 tabs per hour, you can expect your semi-skilled operator, with minimal experience, to produce at a rate of 2,000-5,000 tabs per hour. The instant the sheet hits a micro-switch, the knives rotate down, cut and return to the open position ready for the next sheet. Use this "bulldog" tough machine to cut laminated and non-laminated sheets from 6-point to 25-point paper. Feed several non-laminated sheets at a time and get even higher production rates. A fixed, full-length side guide makes sure that every sheet aligns properly to give your customers the quality results they expect. Setup So Fast and Easy, RUSH Jobs are Never a Problem One operator can have the Tab-Pro up and running in just a few minutes so you can be the hero when competitors turn away small rush jobs. It takes just seconds to change tab position — simply loosen two handles, slide the table top to reposition the side guide, and retighten the handles. Changing tab sizes takes only two minutes. Tilt the tabletop, loosen four screws, reposition the knives and retighten the screws. To change tab extension (depth), tilt the table top, loosen 10 screws, remove the knives and replace with a new extension. Tighten the screws and you are back making profits in five minutes or less. Handles Many Sheet Sizes The extra-long, tool steel knives quickly and easily cut a 1-inch (25.4mm) tab in the first position on a 15-inch (381 mm) long sheet. As the tab widens or the tab position moves toward the center of the sheet, the sheet size capability increases accordingly. Precision Cut A Variety of Tabs and Step-Cuts Adjust tabs to any width from ½ inch to 6 inches (12.7 mm to 152.4 mm) by simply moving the knives closer or farther apart. To cut only one side of a tab (step-cut) remove one knife blade and cut a maximum width of 13-½ inches (342.99 mm) long. Safe, Easy Operation A full-length safety bar protects the operator's fingers from the knives while rapidly inserting sheet after sheet. To change or adjust knives, the tabletop tilts which automatically cuts off electricity to the machine making it inoperable. Minimal Maintenance Keeps this Machine Cutting for Years No one builds a stronger, more rugged Tabcutter than Scott Office Systems. Knives are made from tool steel, hardened and precision ground. Mounted on a 2-inch (51 mm) diameter steel arbor supported by ball bearings, these knives precisely cut thousands of sheets before they need resharpening. The solid, cast-iron machine body that drastically reduces vibrations even on the toughest cutting jobs further ensures accurate cutting. A self-cleaning chip shredder removes chips instantly so no downtime is required for cleaning. The only maintenance your operator must do to keep this Tabcutter operating for years is to routinely fill the automatic lubricator.
