The 2002 Scotty 5000 Automatic Laminator and Tab Cutting System is designed to automatically feed sheets, laminate plastic tab material, and cut index tabs in a single continuous process. The system is widely used in commercial print finishing and bindery environments for producing divider tabs and reinforced documents used in manuals, catalogs, and presentation materials. The machine supports both laminated tab production and plain tab cutting for flexible production workflows.

Main Machine

The Scotty 5000 feeds sheets from a pile feeder and applies plastic tab material using a platen sealing system that heats only the tab extension to prevent damage to the main sheet. Adjustable dwell time allows operators to control bonding for different stocks, while precision adjustments enable accurate control of tab length, width, and position during production.
