Accufast KT Tabber

Description

About the Accufast KT

The Accufast KT is a “crash tabber”: the open edge of the piece feeds into the machine first and contacts a tab that has dropped in front of it, pulling the tab from its backing. The piece and tab then crash into a sweep-and-roller system that folds the tab tightly into place around the mailer. It is a simple, accurate design well suited to offline tab application.

Crash tabbers like the KT bring real advantages: high productivity, because the shortest dimension feeds through and raises production rates at any given speed; simplicity, with a short paper path and no skew adjustment; and accuracy, with tabs folding tight to the edge and not drifting left to right. When All For Mailers refurbished a KT, we replaced both motors, sensors, the o-ring and the sweep, along with any worn bearings, belts, shafts, control panel or board, and most got all-new rollers, then a thorough test across a variety of tabs and materials. Some units could be upgraded at the factory to apply 1.5″ tabs.

Parts Support from All For Mailers

Due to a lack of parts, All For Mailers no longer sells the Accufast KT and we discourage buying one.

Straight talk: buy a Accufast KT for parts only. This was a tank — an excellent machine that earned its reputation, and the mechanics on a good one could keep working for decades. But the electronics are the limit: the boards are no longer available at any price. Once one fails, the machine is done, however good the rest of it is. We don’t recommend buying one to put into production.

Protect what you have. These machines were built to last, and the mechanics will outlive the electronics every time. If you’re running one, put it on a quality surge protector, and add static protection — especially in dry winter air or on high-speed paper handling. Power spikes and static are what kill boards, and on these machines a board may not be replaceable at any price. It’s the cheapest insurance there is for equipment you can’t simply reorder.

What’s actually available: aftermarket rollers and some bearings, across the Accufast line. Motors for the KT, KT2 and XL. That’s it — everything else is gone. If you’re running an Accufast today, call us at 866-430-2874 and we’ll tell you exactly what we can and can’t get for your machine.

Also known as: this machine was also sold as the Rena T-300 and Formax FD 260 — same machine, different badge. Looking for one under a different name? Contact us: the same unit is often available wearing another brand’s model number, and parts, supplies, and service experience carry straight over. Full family story: the T-250 family guide.
