Overview:

  • The Martin Yale
    12-Station electric collator is a lightweight easy to use electric
    collating machine that provides all of the advantages of high speed
    professional collating in a compact and attractive shell.
  • It
    is designed to help collate multi paged reports, bulletins, contracts,
    newsletters at a speed of up to twenty-one twelve page sets per minute.
  • This
    make the Martin Yale 12-station electric collator an excellent choice
    for in plant printers, copy shops, schools, churches or corporate
    offices.

Strengths / Features:

  • The
    Martin Yale 12-station electric collator is capable of processing up to
    21 sets of documents per minute. This means that it can collate one set
    of documents every three seconds. Or it can be used to produce two sets
    of six pages every three seconds yielding up to 42 documents per minute.
  • The
    Martin Yale Electric Collator can operate automatically at a speed of
    21 cycles per minute. Or if you can’t keep up with the machine in
    automatic mode, it can be operated in a self paced mode using a
    convenient foot pedal. This will allow you to collate documents as fast
    as you can move.
  • The 12-station electric collator has a
    special retraction feature. This means that pages that are not grasped
    as part of the collating process will conveniently fall back into the
    collating bins. This helps to ensure that the collated sheets won’t
    back up causing a huge mess if you have to step away from the machine
    for a minute or two.
  • Each of the twelve bins on the 6120
    collator can be loaded with up to 175 sheets of paper. This large
    capacity is helpful in increasing productivity by reducing the number
    of times you need to reload the machine in order to finish collating
    your job.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

  • Although
    the 6120 collator is electric and automated it still requires an
    operator to manually grasp the pages as they are extended from the
    front of the machine. The Martin Yale 6120 simply pushes a portion of
    each sheet out of the front of the machine. The operator needs to grasp
    the 12 pages and stack them in a V-tray, on a stack cart or in another
    location to keep them organized.
  • The Martin Yale 12-station
    collator is designed for use with 13lb - 110lb non coated paper. It is
    not designed for feeding carbonless papers, high gloss stocks, stapled
    sets or multi-part forms. The pusher assemblies used by the Martin Yale
    6120 are not designed to work with these types of stocks. Attempting to
    use the machine with these types of papers will most likely result in
    misfeeds and incomplete sets.

Recommendation:

  • The
    Martin Yale 6120 electric collator is ideal for all types of
    organizations that need to assemble newsletters, reports, bulletins,
    sales materials and other multi paged documents.
  • It is ideal
    for printers, binderies, mailrooms, and for in plant print shops who
    need to save time in assembling multi-page documents.
  • However ,
    it is important to remember that although the Martin Yale 6120 can
    offer incredible collating speeds it still requires an operator to
    remove each set of documents from the machine as it processes them.
