2 Professional ing Flat Pile The feed table automatically descends for sheet loading to maintain proper distance between the top of piled sheets and the feed rotor. Maximum pile height is 750 mm / The AFC-74 series B-format folder is the newest in Horizon's expanding line-up of quality-engineered folders that combines simple operation, quick changeover, high production speed, and superior fold quality.. The folder is easy and intuitive to set-up, even without a skilled operator, thanks to the intelligent automation and user-friendly design. AFC- + Flat Pile 2. A wide variety of fold patterns are automatically set by inputting the sheet size and selecting a fold pattern through the large color touchscreen.. different types of feed units can be selected for various work environments: Flat Pile, Pallet Pile and Round Pile. 4. rollers are constructed with a combination of steel and soft polyurethane for superior grip and sharp, consistent folding. Pallet Pile The pallet feeder unit accepts the piled sheets from the printing press to maximize operator convenience and to minimize production time. Maximum pile height is,200 mm / 47.2 (pallet included). 5. control system. AFC- + Pallet Pile Round Pile The round pile feeder unit can feed a wide range of sheets including prefolded, preperforated or prepunched sheets. Continuous loading is available for non-stop production. AFC- + Round Pile 2

3 AFC-74 series Features User-friendliness A large, color touchscreen control panel is icon-based for userfriendly operation. The graphical touchscreen guides the user through all set-up procedures with ease, and allows fast, easy navigation for all other system operations. Advanced Automation Each section is set automatically by inputting the sheet size and fold pattern through the touchscreen. Accurate stepper motors allow increments of 0. mm. Thanks to this automation, even an inexperienced operator can perform high-quality folding. Roller gap setting can be done automatically by simply inputting the single sheet into the caliper.

Superior and consistent fold quality is ensured with steel and softformed polyurethane combination rollers. The distance between the foam rubber rings is very narrow. So the overlap of the edges on the upper and lower fold rollers increases, providing exact folding quality.

Feed Rotor Horizon s advanced rotary suction feed system for fast, consistent feeding of a wide range of paper stock. Knife Section Depending on the kind of the sheet, supersonic or photo electric detection can be chosen to detect double feeds. The knife fold system enables cross folding in a smallfootprint. The servo motor controlled knife allows accurate, high speed folding. Two buckles can be installed below the knife for complicated folding. (One buckle is standard.) Perforation Perforation, slit perforation, scoring and slitting can be performed. The perforation shaft is quick and easy to install or detach. al devices are available for strip trimming of multiple-up the closed side of glued 8-page signatures and punch perforation. ing Rollers The combination soft polyurethane foam rubber and steel rollers are employed for consistent folding and simple setup. ing rollers are driven with accurate helical gears for maximum folding precision and quiet operation. Sheet Transportation Newly-designed rigid side lay guide ensures stable transportation and accurate registration of a wide range of paper stocks. The side lay guide is coated with a special anti-static plating, for troublefree operation of printed sheets, even in dry climates, when static electricity can be a problem. 6 7
