Our versatile range of creasing, perforating and cutting tools helps you to enlarge the quality, the application field and the productivity of your fold production. Creasing and perforating tools prepare the fold products for further process steps and increase the quality of your products. Cutting tools help you to trim the folded products to their final format or to separate several ups. Thus you produce final products on your folder and increase your output.
You can use scoring tools on the front-mounted or rear-mounted slitter shafts of your folding machine. This processing makes the following cross-folding easier and increases the fold quality, regardless of the applied fold principle – buckle plate or knife fold. Scoring devices against PU-rings achieve a higher quality and can be setup quicker than scoring devices against steel. For especially high quality demands when processing high grammages, we offer you the special device Tri-Creaser Fast-Fit. This way you do not only avoid a cracking of the paper coating and paper fiber but you can also score inline in the folder thus saving an additional processstep on the printing cylinder.
Our perforating tools are available with various slot lengths and gutter lengths. This enables you to adjust the tool perfectly to the paper quality and the fold type of your job. Slot perforations reduce the material tension and let the air escape from the signature, thus avoiding creases. Slot perforating tools with a large number of teeth are suitable to produce tear-off perforations. They are used for instance to produce calendars or mailings and help the end user to detach individual sections. Punch perforations make the production of versatile cross-folds a lot easier. Due to the wide punch holes the entrapped air can escape from the signature. Moreover it is often possible to finish punch perforated sheets in the perfect binder without milling.
Cutting knives allow you to do parting cuts, edge trimmings and strip trimmings. With a parting cut you separate various ups easily. For the processing of thicker products we offer you double circular knives. They work like a pair of scissors: cutting knife against cutting knife. Edge trimmings allow you to trim the signature to a final format with a head and tail trim. They are used for instance when producing fold-glued brochures. Strip trimming devices work with two parallel knives. They allow you to cut out strips from multiple-ups, removing the paper strip reliably from the working area.
