You have no idea how much this helps newcomers in the Industry trying to understand how Buckleplate folders work. Great video for those who want the visual......
I spent 40 years in the industry. It's amazing how little has changed when it comes to folding paper. The machines may be different but the actual process is nearly identical no matter what machine you run.
Just visit next time, you are in Germany, the PMC in Heidelberg-Wiesloch! The principle is still the same, but we developed a lot of new functions. From the Airplate, to the Knifeplate, shingle paper stream, until pressing rollers in all station etc. The finest feeder is incredible, the best we ever designed, and there is more to discover... Look here, a further video with classic Principe but advance technologie... ruclips.net/video/GsWNH7BDGiI/видео.htmlsi=5jx3kT-LpO0KUoG0 Greetings 👋👋👋
@@marcmarinelli8046 thanks for your comment. There are different possibilities. 1. You can do rollfold with different plates. Using plate 1 and 3 for ⅓ folding length is popular, but even plate 1 and 2 are possible (⅔ & ⅓) but inefficient. At a zig zag fold it is correct to adjust the rollers till the last fold with 1 paper. But at the rollfold it is okay to underlay 2 papers after the first fold, as long the roller for the next fold becomes adjusted with 1 paper. For example: Plate 1 - roller 1 = 1pcs - roller 2 = 1 or 2pcs, both are correct Plate 3 - roller 3 = 1 pcs So, you both were correct 💯💯 👍 A trick to avoid dog ears is, to rollfold the sheet into the bottom plates and to open the last rollers!

@marcmarinelli8046. Modern folding machines have “constant tension” caliper /FESTA roller systems. The mechanism for setting the roller pressures to the paper thickness/caliper to drive the paper through the machine allows for extra thicknesses to pass through. The rollers open to allow the extra layers to pass, and then return to the original setting. For example - to fold a ten page zig- zag/concertina fold (four folds, five panels) on a four buckle plate 1st Station, the rollers would be set : Roller 1 - 1 paper thickness Roller 2 - 1 paper thickness Roller 3 - 1 paper thickness Roller 4 - 1 paper thickness Roller 5 - 5 paper thickness Slitter Shafts - 5 paper thickness. With zig - zag folding, there is always a single thickness trailing panel which needs to be gripped to push the leading folded panels forward. Tip: if you have a folding machine with eight buckle plates in the 1st or 2nd folding station and only need to make five folds (12 pages). Make a fold in the first or second plate to create the first panel. Then deflect past the lower numbered plates and finish folding the further four panels in the higher numbered plates. This means that only the higher numbered roller nips and slitter shafts are opened to the finished thickness. The roller drive (deep pitch gears?) can usually accommodate this better.
They'll not build anymore, so you just can buy exist moduls. Many colleagues in all german folding companys they are older than 30, should produced them in there apprenticeship. I couldn't find some on Ebay, to get a price is hard. I definitatly can say, You can't get mine XD

it does what folders dont let u do, it lets you see paper hitting those plates and being grabbed by those rollers.

Greetings 👋👋👋
Really helpful. I have tried many times to figure out how it works but failed. Your video made it clear.
Thx a lot. 👍
Ottime spiegazioni e la sezione aperta da la dimostrazione reale di ciò che avviene durante la preparazione o produzione
Complimenti
Man! Where can I score one of those cut away folder models?! That is a sweet training tool!
Sometimes they are on eBay.
finally, i get it
When doing a roll fold papers are...1 in 1, 1 in 2,1 in 3 and 3 in the rest? Or 2 in 1 ? Have been debating this for years.....lol

how much does it cost?
