Patented folding system<br />
The DigiFold dispenses entirely with buckle plates or<br />
conventional knives, using an electronically controlled<br />
“flying knife” contoured around extra large diameter<br />
rollers.<br />
The speed is mathing the dem<strong>and</strong>s of damageable<br />
digital prints. The DigiFold uses a dynamic sheet deflector<br />
that only touches the leading edge of the sheet. This<br />
reduces the risk of scratching or marking.<br />
Materials <strong>and</strong> applications<br />
• Difficult digital stock<br />
• Varnished print<br />
• Art paper<br />
• Coated or laminated material<br />
• Covers (stapled or glued)<br />
• Cardboard<br />
• Substrate with wrong grain direction<br />
• Thick paper<br />
• Menus<br />
• Greeting cards<br />
An extensive program sets the creasing<br />
<strong>and</strong> folding automatically<br />
Flexible <strong>and</strong> user-friendly<br />
For st<strong>and</strong>ard configurations, the DigiFold works in an<br />
automatic mode. Once the required fold <strong>and</strong> sheet<br />
length have been selected, an extensive program<br />
automatically sets the creasing <strong>and</strong> folding positions.<br />
An individual operation is employed when extra creases<br />
are needed or difficult configurations have to be programmed.<br />
In this mode the operator enters the creasing<br />
<strong>and</strong> folding positions manually via the joy stick.<br />
Proven creasing technology<br />
To avoid cracking of the substrate, the DigiFold works<br />
with a technique by which the fibres are embossed <strong>and</strong><br />
weakened. The creasing mechanism consists of a male<br />
creasing rule <strong>and</strong> a female matrix which get pressed<br />
together to perform an exact <strong>and</strong> crack-free crease.<br />
