1.0 INTRODUCTION Your new Flexifold 2nd Station 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 2nd Station 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 (7.6x12.

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. 6.0 OPERATION Turn the handwheel to be sure that the fold plates are properly installed and not rubbing on the fold rolls. The main power/reset switch (Figure 6.1-1) will completely shut off all power to the operating system. This will stop everything immediately. Plug the fold pan connectors into the side frame.

12.0 PERFORATING, SCORING & SLITTING In addition to folding, your Flexifold 2nd Station 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. 12.1 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 Flexifold 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 12.3.1).
13.1 Maintenance and Care of your Easyfold The fold stop guides should be cleaned once a week with a dry cloth to keep the plate moving properly. The Flexifold 2nd Station has been designed to give you years of useful service, provided you maintain it according to these instructions. 13.6 Replacement Parts 13.2 Cleaning of Fold Rolls To order replacement parts for your Flexifold 2nd Station, contact Baumfolder.

15.0 DISPLAY MESSAGES The following are other display messages that may appear. KEYBOARD MISSING INSTALL DELIVERY OR PRESS RESET BAD KEYBOARD INSTALL PLATE NO.1 OR PRESS RESET FOLDER OVERLOAD PRESS RESET INSTALL PLATE NO.2 OR PRESS RESET PAN 1 STOP 125.00mm CHANGE WITH +/- NO TACH. CHECK MOTOR, BELTS, ENCODER CHANGE +/- PLATE NO.
16.0 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.
