Working Principle
An operator puts the piece onto the infeed conveyor. This piece is automatically recognized by sensors and will thereafter automatically be folded and sorted onto the dedicated stacker station. Due to this automatic sorting system, no manual pre-sort is needed. As a result, each folding program can handle up to 4 different pieces, which are automatically recognized, folded and dispatched on dedicated stacker stations. After the preset stack height is achieved, pile with folded pieces is put onto the final incline conveyor belt.
Control system
The FlexFold AT180_slim has a colour touch screen with utmost simple layout. No experience is needed to adapt or create a new folding program. Machine is controlled by PLC, offering highest reliability. Up to 60 different folding programs can be made, each able to fold 4 different pieces.
Longitudinal fold principle
The longitudinal fold(s) are made by position controlled folding templates in combination with a pulsed air flow. Once the piece enters the longitudinal fold section, the length (and possible width) is measured and the folding templates are automatically adjusted. Due to this measurement the piece is recognised as well. Once the piece is completely in the longitudinal fold section, a high accuracy pulsed air flow fold carries out 1 or 2 folds.
Cross Fold principle
After the longitudinal fold section the pieces enters the cross fold section. Up to 2 cross folds can be made, offering all kinds of folding patterns required nowadays. In order to secure stable and high quality folds, both cross folds are made by air assisted reversing belts. Tight folded pieces are obtained as pieces are continuously kept between belts.
Sorting and stacking principle
After the cross folding, the various kinds of folded pieces have to be sorted out on one of the stacker stations. The FlexFold AT180_ slim can be provided with 4 stacker stations, consequently operator can feed 4 different pieces (mixed) which are folded and sorted out over the stackter stations. Once the required stack height is achieved, the stack is put on the final incline belt.
