A number of different deliveries can be used to lay out the
signatures exiting the folding machine ready for inspection. The
choice ranges from simple stream deliveries and the Twinstacker
vertical stack delivery to horizontal stack deliveries and the
Speedbander automatic pack delivery. Most deliveries are also
equipped with pressure (N) rollers to press down the signatures,
thereby reducing the volume of the pile and facilitating downstream
postpress operations. Marking devices that stagger piles laterally
make it easier to remove the folded products. With multiple-ups,
the individual repeats can also be pulled apart. The delivery used
therefore plays a key role in determining the productivity of the
entire system. The excellent performance of the folding machines in
the Stahlfolder range can only be achieved with appropriate
deliveries.
