TR Slitting, Scoring, Perforating & Semi-Slitting System

The TR Finishing System offers the highest level of automation for wider format high volume runs from digital and offset presses.

Dedicated engineering has made the TR Scoring machine the right choice for commercial and digital printers and binderies alike with its “die-score” quality. Scoring is required when folding any type of heavy card stock or coated paper. This single-pass, multiple-processing workhorse performs slits, scores, and perforates to eliminate additional labor and extra guillotine workstations at speed up to 15,000 sph.

Hardened ground concentric shafts maintain perfect score depth. Heavy duty upper and lower steady bearings achieve less than .001” shaft displacement, even while processing heavyweight stock. The TR finishes large-format sheetfed products up to 30”, 36” and 42” in width.

The versatile TR System can be easily configured to fit any need, including right-angle processing (with a Rollaway) with a wide variety of cutting heads for all your custom needs. In addition to the speed and versatility of the TR System, you’ll enjoy a higher quality finished product. Crisp scores and razor-sharp cuts that are flawless.
