Folding machine is a kind of machine that folds printed large-scale printing sheets into books. Folding quality directly affects the quality of finished products. Nowadays, the development of folding machine has broken through the folding technology, which only stays at the single functional level of book folding. The multi-functional and combined folding production line has integrated the technologies of folding, glue spraying, timing cutting, die cutting, punching, riding booklet, labeling (direct mail), variable data printing and so on, which can fully realize modular, automatic and intelligent on-line production.
(1) Through the modular combination of special configuration, the folding machine can complete the functions of on-line glue spraying, on-line die cutting, windowing and punching, on-line card pasting, inkjet printing and so on.
¢Ù The folding machine can complete the folding of a variety of different folding methods through the combination of basic folding modules. For example, the folding function can be combined into folding systems with different structures, which can be combined into a full fence folding machine or a hybrid folding machine. Even after the customer has purchased the equipment, it can still be recombined or configured to adapt to the high-speed production of different sizes and formats.
The basic module is composed of a conveying positioning mechanism and a folding fence unit. The paper feeding mechanism can choose different Feida configurations. The two folding units can choose fence and knife folding units, and can continuously combine the three folding units and four folding units to form a multi-functional folding module. When the live parts change, just add or reduce the folding units to meet the production needs. The basic folding module can increase or decrease according to different folding production processes, so that the folding mode and function can be automatically and dynamically adjusted, so as to maximize the efficiency of the folding machine.
¢Ú The folding machine can be combined with the back channel of digital printing to complete the production of horse riding binding and binding products. For example, the horse riding sewing production line can provide a variety of personalized matching combinations, such as envelope inserting machine, punching machine, ridging line device, etc. in addition, it also has automatic adjustment function, which can be adjusted according to the book thickness during operation, and cooperate with the built-in paper and Book detection and tracking system to realize on-demand post press binding in the real sense.
The binding production system can be linked with the sheet fed digital printer, and different folding equipment can be selected according to the format size of different products. Binding production system integrates folding, binding and cutting processes, which is suitable for personalized on-demand production of manuals, samples and operation instructions.
¢Û Combined production of folding machine and packaging line. For example, the connecting folding machine integrates folding, die-cutting and pasting. It adopts the plow folding method to realize the smooth production of thick paper folding. The middle is equipped with a round pressing die-cutting device to open the window of the card. The small double head Feida at the back, combined with the glue spraying device, can correctly paste the small cards of other shapes in the card opening window, setting a model for the flexible combination of a variety of products. At present, the back end can also be equipped with a box pasting device. The whole line connecting equipment has been competent for the folding, die-cutting, box pasting and other processes of the packaging box, so that the folding machine has expanded from simple binding and folding to the packaging field.
(2) As an indispensable equipment in the process of post press processing, folding machine is making great strides on the road of automation and intelligence. Today's folding machine control systems are integrated with large screen touch screen technology, which greatly improves the operability of the equipment and makes the whole operation process simple and easy to learn. The automation trend of folding machine mainly focuses on improving the intelligence of control system, and combines it with digital workflow, focusing on the application of JDF, CIP4 and other technologies. In the networked post press processing scheme, the new folding machine has the ability of information exchange. With the support of data management software, it becomes a part of the end-to-end JDF digital workflow and realizes data transmission with other JDF compatible systems in the network.
For example, due to the current situation of short delivery time, high quality requirements and high cost pressure, post press processing must seek more efficient and intelligent solutions. As an innovative work system that can optimize the production plan and monitor the folding production process, the combination of digital process management software and the folding machine management workflow greatly improves the folding production efficiency. It is an important development direction of post press processing control management in the future.
The folding equipment is connected with different working systems developed by most independent manufacturers, so that the operators can get real-time folding machine information through the network, create and process live parts, complete the storage of live parts archives, and easily realize the data exchange between the production office and the folding machine, so as to provide scientific information for production optimization, equipment control and data analysis. In addition, it also supports CIP4 / JDF files to avoid efficiency reduction caused by wrong input or multiple inputs.
