The Océ 940
The Océ 940 is an off-line folding machine which folds high quality
packages of different paper sizes and formats. The machine offers the
following folding combination s:
■ Package fold of 210 mm
■ Package fold of 190 mm
■ Package fold of 210 mm including a binding edge of 20, 25 or 30 mm
■ Edge fold of 210 mm
■ Edge fold of 190 mm
■ Edge fold of 210 mm including binding edge of 20, 25 or 30 mm
■ Cross fold of 297 mm or 305 mm
The package folding method makes it possible to fold according to DIN
standards, and that the last fold covers the last page as much as possible.
These DIN standards can only be met when using din size copies.
The edge fold means that the last fold is always to the left (meaning that
the last page is not always totally covered). Using the edge fold makes it
possible to attach a binding edge to the left side of the package. It makes it
easy to unfold the drawing without taking it out of the notebook. Edge fold
can be used for wild formats copies or DIN size copies.
The Océ 940 detects the copy size automatically. When the copy is fed in
the first time the first fold is delivered according to the chosen pr ogramme.
The second fold (cross fold) is done automatically when feeding the
package in the second time, after turning it 90°.
