A. Feed Table
Hook in the Feed table. First place it on the support shaft, slide it down at
an angle until the lower slots engage with the pins on the side panels. The
upper slots must engage with the support shaft. After which, install the
two bracket guides.
B. Folding Plates
Hook the folding plates according to their designated slots into position
like the feed table. You will note that the plate has a deflector bar on one
side, while the other is formed as an open “pocket”. Hook in the plates as
dictated by the desired type of fold (refer to Folding Style Guide). To do
so, place the plate on the two-front pins in the side panels of the machine,
then slide it towards the folding rollers until you can clearly hear all four
pins clicking into engagement. You may turn the handwheel to ensure
that the folding plate is properly engaged and there is no hindrance.
C. Vertical Stacker
Due to tension from the paper materials, if the paper has been folded into
very small dimension or has been folded several times, the paper will
spring back out of the fold. If conveyor belt system was used, the paper
might not be nicely fanned out. Thus, it is advisable for the user to fit the
machine with a vertical stacker (especially for collecting paper less than
30mm or perform up to 3folds).
Insert the vertical stacker into the support shaft in the rear of folding
machine using the groove provided.
5. FOLD PRINCIPAL AND STYLE GUIDE
Folding is carried out by folding plates. This section will provide a brief
description on the folding process and the fold styles. These will enable
you to carry out settings for any desired style without extensive trial runs.
Fold Principal
The feeder takes the sheet between the first pair of fold rollers which
drives it into the first folding plate until it comes up against the adjustable
stop. But as the rear of the sheet is still advanced by the fold roller, a loop
is formed. As the loop gets bigger, the paper is seized by the second pair of
roller, creating a fold line and carried to second folding plate. The process
is repeated.
