Stamping Equipment -
THERM-O-TYPE NSF Elite - The new NSF Elite
embossing, die cutting and foil stamping press has been introduced by
THERM-O-TYPE. This model incorporates a unique
combination of features that make it ideal for short, medium and long
run production applications.
Using dies, the NSF Elite can flat foil stamp,
blind and foil emboss, and die cut at speeds up to 5,000 impressions per
hour.
Using the HSFF (High Speed Foil Fusing)
process (patent pending), foil can be fused to toner to create a flat
foil impression without dies, at speeds up to 4,000 impressions per
hour. If dimensional toner is used, a ThermoEmbossed
(foil embossed) image can be created, using the HSFF
process.
The NSF Elite has the ability to imprint/die
cut up to eight positions down the length of each sheet. This allows a
single die and makeready to be used when processing multiple up sheets
through the press. Using this feature, tooling cost and makeready/set up
time is dramatically reduced. This is extremely important when running
very small quantity jobs that have been printed multiple up on digital
printers.
A 14.5" by 20" maximum sheet size runs portrait through the
NSF Elite. This sheet size is ideal for a wide
range of traditional products and digital printer output. Image area on
the NSF Elite is 10.625" by 13.375" (37%
larger area compared to the NSF A3+). The
impression mechanism is extremely rugged and can generate more than
twice the impression pressure available on the NSF
A3+.
The NSF Elite features a new,
Windows XP based computer control system. This
full color, touch screen control system provides a high degree of
automation, easy to use operator interface and intuitive adjustments. We
feel, and many of our customers agree, that the computer control system
used on THERM-O-TYPE NSF presses are the most
efficient control system available on any foil stamping or die cutting
equipment.

The standard NSF Elite foil draw system
includes two foil support shafts, two independently programmable foil
draws and two waste foil rewinds. Up to 7.2" diameter foil rolls can be
run with adjustable foil tension control.
The NSF Elite features a computer controlled,
pneumatic centralized lubrication system. Lubrication is controlled
using press speed, impression pressure and run/idle time information
collected and processed by the computer core.
Paper registration, foil draw length, counter functions, jam
detect/interrupt, double feed detect, speed and impression pressure
functions are all controlled and/or displayed through the computer/touch
screen.
Three sensors monitor paper movement through the press. If a jam
conditions occurs, the machine will automatically drop off impression
and stop. Jam condition information will then appear on the control
display. Sensors can detect opaque, semi transparent and certain
transparent materials without adjustment.
The headstop paper sensor is also used to confirm that a sheet is ready
to advance into the impression area. If a skip feed condition occurs,
the NSF Elite will automatically drop off
impression. When the next sheet is detected at the headstop, the machine
will automatically return to the On impression position. The
NSF Elite will not stop if a skip sheet error occurs.
A traditional pile feeder with a 32" high pile capacity is used on the
NSF Elite. This feeder can be pre-loaded while
the press is running to minimize down time. The combination of high
capacity feeder and pre-loading significantly increases productivity,
while reducing operator workload.
The NSF Elite is a truly unique product. This
press has been specifically designed to efficiently produce very small
to long run orders. Large foil roll and feeder capacity, combined with
automated set up procedures and on the fly impression pressure, paper
registration and foil draw adjustment make the NSF
Elite exceptionally productive and easy to operate. There is no
other press available that can provide this level of production
flexibility and efficiency.
