The DigiFold

The latest addition to the portfolio is the DigiFold™, the world’s first integrated creasing and folding machine. The system is a totally new technology to finish even the most sensitive of materials. The DigiFold™ is aimed at the ‘print-on-demand’ market and handles output from digital colour printing systems and heavy cross-grained stocks printed by conventional litho.

Fully automated, compact and easy to use, the suction-fed DigiFold™ is the only automated folder using a creasing rule and matrix with the ability to crease material prior to folding. Unlike scoring, which breaks the surface of the material, the creasing rule and matrix mechanism prevents cracking during the folding process.

The DigiFold™ can be set to operate in three modes:

For standard folding configurations it works in ‘set to fold’ mode where, once the required fold and sheet length have been selected, the unit’s powerful programme automatically sets the creasing and folding position. A motorised conveyor establishes the optimum position for stacking the finished work.

In ‘set to’ mode, the operator dials in the creasing and folding positions. This mode is particularly useful where extra creases are needed and allows difficult configurations such as the ‘closed gate’ to be programmed.

The third mode of operation allows the DigiFold™ to be used as an automated creasing machine from which the creased work is delivered flat. Alternatively, the creasing operation can be bypassed and conventionally printed and/or lighter stocks folded. This versatility adds to the printer’s productivity and ensures maximum utilization of the machine.

The DocuFold MK2

The latest generation folder is the Docu-Fold. This product takes automation to a new level because it recognises sheet lengths and will automatically adjust both the fold plates and the delivery roller according to the type of fold and sheet size.

All the operator has to do is select the type of fold required from the simple to use control panel and the Docu-Fold does the rest. For any non-standard jobs the machine has the capability to stores up to 6 jobs for instant retrieval at a later date.

The UFO

For over a decade the UFO suction folding machine has been the best selling folder in its class - not just in the UK, but also in markets throughout the world.

A number of reasons contribute towards the UFO’s appeal. These include: high productivity, with over 30,000 sheets per hour achievable on A4 size paper, large capacity, loading on the run, proven reliability, flexibility and a versatile range of cross-folding attachments. In addition, heavy-duty construction ensures that UFO folding machines will give years of productivity and hold a high residual value.
