Overview
Challenge combination joggers handle larger sheets and heavier production stacks ahead of cutting and bindery. Size the table to your largest parent sheet.
The Challenge Combination Paper Joggers come in 20″×26″, 24″×36″, and 28″×40″ sizes. They are electro-mechanical joggers with up to 4″ lift capacity, a 0-60° tilting table, Dial-a-Jog control, and dual on/off (toggle + foot switch).
Jogger features:
- Up to 4″ lift capacity for efficient pile alignment
- Tilting table from flat to 60° for versatile stock control
- Dial-a-Jog variable speed control to fine-tune the jog motion
- Dual controls: panel toggle and foot switch
Benefits:
- Faster downstream finishing, because the piles are square and de-aired
- Dial-a-Jog control sets gentle to aggressive motion for any stock
- Hands-free operation with the foot switch reduces operator fatigue
Challenge Machinery builds this equipment in Norton Shores, Michigan. Mid-State Litho is the authorized Michigan dealer (about 30 years).
