Workflow or Standalone - Folding Machines for Every Application

05/17/2000


  • Heidelberg adds to its machine range: Stahlfolder TD and KD Topline fully workflow-compatible
  • TD folding 52 Topline with automatic presetting
  • Ti 40 Proline for small offset and digital printing
Heidelberg's extensive finishing know-how is reflected in a wide range of products and components for the most diverse of finishing applications. The buckle plate and combi folding machines in the Heidelberg TD and KD ranges have been equipped with the latest DCT 2000 electronics (DCT = Digital Control Technology) and are fully workflow-compatible. The Stahlfolder TD 52 Topline will be making its first ever appearance at drupa 2000. This buckle plate folding machine has been designed for the highly popular 50 x 70 centimeter print format, and its automatic presetting enables it to precisely meet the needs of medium-format printers. What is more, Heidelberg will be introducing the Ti 40 Proline buckle plate folding machine, which has been specially design for the quick print and digital printing markets.

Heidelberg will be rounding off its product spectrum for market-oriented finishing solutions with three new Stahlfolder models.

TD/KD Topline range
The buckle plate and combi folding machines of the Topline series are the ideal link between high-tech mechanics and the new, future-oriented DCT 2000 electronics. Networking Stahfolders creates the conditions necessary for perfect job planning and makes production operations and costs transparent in the finishing process. Both folding machine series are characterized by convenient operation, plain-text operator guidance, with optimum access to all control elements and slitter shafts. The Topline series is synonymous with productivity for professional folding - complete with electronic setup, sheet monitoring and production checks.

The modular design of the buckle plate folding machines from the TD series adds greater value thanks to numerous additional applications such as gluing, perforating, and timed perforating and cutting.

The combi folding machines in the Topline series exhibit high durability, particularly for professional folding applications in book and brochure production where very little space is available.

TD 52 Topline for the end-to-end workflow in medium format The new, automatic TD 52 Topline buckle plate folding machine has automatic presetting functions and a CIP3 link with SCS100/Compufold. This closes the circle from prepress to finishing. Compufold reads the CIP3 file created during impositioning in the prepress stage and converts the data into machine setting programs.

Using the convenient controls, 81 folding types can be called up from the folding type catalog. After the sheet length and width have been entered, the machine calculates all the necessary setting values. Activating the program causes buckle plate stops and side lays to move automatically to the calculated position.

Ti 40 Proline for A3 format
Based on the proven Heidelberg technology, the Heidelberg Ti 40 Proline compact buckle plate folding machine was developed specially for the small-offset and quick print sectors. With its small space requirement and high mobility, it matches precisely the requirements of this growing market segment. It is easy to use and can take on all jobs, just like the "big" professional folding machines.
