1.0 INTRODUCTION Your new Flexifold Air Feed Modular Folder has been designed to give you many years of useful service provided it is installed, maintained, and operated according to the instructions in this manual. Your Flexifold Air Feed is a unique and versatile paper folding machine, capable of folding paper measuring between 3 x 5 inches (7.6 x 12.7 cm) and 14 x 20 inches (35.5 x 50.8 cm), at speeds up to 27,600 sheets per hour of 8 1/2 x 11 (21.6 x 27.9 cm) and up to 41,000 sheets per hour of 3x5 (7.
4.3 Pump Hose Connections WARNING Do not plug the power cord into an AC outlet until the Flexifold Air Feed is fully assembled, adjusted and ready to use. Unplug the Flexifold any time disassembly is required. Two hoses come with your Flexifold Air (See Figure 4.3-1) 4.0 ASSEMBLY Air 4.1 Main Unit Vacuum To assemble the Flexifold Air Feed unit, first remove the four bolts holding it to the skid. Place the folder on the stand (See Figure 4.1-1). For Pump Hoses Figure 4.3-1 4.
Feed Table Hoses The center notches should seat on the second set of locating pins. Pivot the fold plate hold-downs back into position to secure the fold plates. Turn the handwheel to be sure that the fold plates are properly installed and not rubbing on the fold rolls. Air Plug the fold pan connectors into the side frame. (See figure 4.6-1) Vacuum Pump Hoses Figure 4.5-1 Figure 4.6-1 Plug the feed table into the side of the frame. (See Figure 4.5-2) 5.
6.0 FEED TABLE SETUP Tighten the locking knobs to secure the paper guides in position. (If Applicable) 6.1 Gap Adjustment With the machine running, insert two sheets of paper between the tab and the sucker wheel. Turn the gap knob counterclockwise until there is a slight drag on the paper. Remove the paper. The correct gap is now set. (See Figure 6.1-1) When you load the actual job, you may have to move these guides slightly to take care of variations in sheet size.
Main Power/Reset Switch Blow Vacuum Figure 7.1-1 Figure 6.3-1 left to obtain more blow on the left side and lessen the front blow. With the folder and pump running, depress the “SHEET START” button. Gradually increase the vacuum (Figure 6.3-1) setting untiil the sheet is pulled from the feeder. 7.2 Loading of Feed Table Before you can load the paper on the feed table, you must determine which way the paper is to be loaded by running a few sample sheets.

13.0 PERFORATING, SCORING & SLITTING In addition to folding, your Flexifold Air Feed can perforate, score and slit. WARNING Unplug power supply before working on equipment. Be careful when handling perforator and slitting blades. They are extremely sharp. 13.1 Perforating Slide the perforator collar and blade holder to the desired position on the slitter shaft. Re-install the pullout tire assemblies on the right end of the upper and lower shafts.
The Flexifold can be used to score a sheet and deliver it flat, or to score a sheet after a fold or folds have been made. NOTE: Slitting accessories are optional on your Easyfold and can be ordered from BAUMFOLDER. To ensure accuracy in making right-angle folds, always score the sheet where the fold is to be made. This applies in all instances when a perforator cannot be used. The Flexifold can be used to cut folded or flat sheets apart. The general setup for blades and collars is shown in (Figure 13.3.1).
14.1 Maintenance and Care of your EASYFOLD 14.4 Photo Eyes The Flexifold Air Feed has been designed to give you years of useful service, provided you maintain it according to these instructions. cloth. 14.2 Cleaning of Fold Rolls The fold stop guides should be cleaned once a week with a dry cloth to keep the plate moving properly. Periodically wipe off the rubber surface of the fold rolls using a solvent that is non-alcohol based. 14.

CHECK MOTOR, BELTS, ENCODER INSTALL DELIVERY OR PRESS RESET JAM 2nd STATION INSTALL PLATE NO.1 OR PRESS RESET START SHEET INSTALL PLATE NO.
17.0 BASIC THEORY OF BUCKLE FOLDING If a sheet of paper is laid on a flat surface and driven into a stationary object, a buckle or series of buckles will form along the surface of the sheet. If the sheet of paper is pushed into a narrow channel before butting up against the stationary object, the buckles that form within the channel will be of a much smaller size than free-forming buckles. At the end of the channel, however, larger buckles will again start to form.
If the channel is angled to produce a downward pressure, and two folding rollers, spinning as indicated, are placed close to the end of the channel, the larger buckles that start forming there will always be formed downward and be pulled into the rollers, compressing into a fold.
On a buckle folder, the sheet is laid flat on a feed table and then enters the fold plate assembly where it comes to a stop against the stationary sheet stop. A series of buckles then forms throughout the sheet. The buckles whithin the fold plate are kept very small by the narrow channel design. The buckles at the end of the fold plate, however, will be larger.
