1.6 Information to user/Functioning description
FOLDING MACHINE TO FOLD FLAT SHEETS
The foldingmachineisdesignedto foldflat sheetsonly. Folding of any other material shouldnot be
attempted. The manufacturer or supplier would not be liable for any damage caused as a result.
Furthermore,the manufacturer would also not beliable for anymalfunctionsordamages of additional
installations or alterationswhich were not delivered or installed by him.
The construction of your machine may differ from the pictures in some details. However, thisdoes
not have any influence to its safe operation. Since we are continuously working on further
developments, alterationsare reserved.
The production speed can be varified between 10 and 205 mtrs./mte. However, the efficiency
depends on the type of paper, size and type of fold as well as to the different circumstances of the
user which cannot be influenced by the manufacturer.
In order to provide a general understanding of the machine function to the operator the following
description has been carried out from the feeder to the machine.
Please be advised that due to technical reasons and for better understanding certain options
are already described in the standard machine description.
The MBO Combination Folding Machine works exclusively in accordance with the principle of
buckle folding. It may be coupled with mobile knife folding unitswhich work in accordance withthe
principle of knifefolding.
The basic machineconsistsof a combinationof aparallel unit with continuousfeeder, register table
and stream delivery. Additional buckleplateunits II, III, andIV, mobile knife foldingunits, suchas
Z 2, Z 5, andZ 6, special folding units or variousother MBO deliveriesmay beattached, if necessary.
Standard buckle folding units consist of two, four or six buckle plates with swing deflectors, spiral
foldrollers which can be adjustedthrough quick settingelements ontheside frameof themachine,
and quickly removeable slitter shafts with plug bearings.
Please bear in mind that a simultaneous folding with all buckle plates is not possible!

Operating manual T700/T800.1 - en
1.7 Buckle fold:
The principle of buckle foldis that
the sheet is always pushed into
the buckle plate.
Three foldrollers and one buckle plate
are necessary to prepare a buckle fold.
Foldrollers 1and 2 carry the sheet into
the buckle plate 4to the sheet stop.
A buckle occurs during transporation
through these foldrollers to the direction
of foldrollers 2and 3by which the sheet
is folded through its passage.
1.8 Knife fold:
Two foldrollers 1and 2as well
as one knife 3are necessary
to preparea knife fold.
The sheet is transported under
the knife to a sheet stop and aligned.
After the knife has been released
it moves the sheet between
the foldrollers where it is folded
during its passage.

>ATTENTION < Special instructions respectively requirementsand prohibitions to avoid injuries
and damages.
> DANGER < Instructions respectively requirementsand prohibitions to prevent personal injuries
or extensive damages.
2.2 Safety at working place - destined use of the folding machine
2.2.1 MBO folding machines correspond to their stipulated Safety Technical Requirement at the time of
their shipment. Therefore, any moveable and rotating parts are covered with protective hoods and
are mechanically and electrically interlockedto suchan extent asto not unreasonably detract from
the operation.
2.2.2 At all safety technical preventions it isextremely important that the operating personnel achieves
sufficient safety experience and is advised of all dangerous sources. The use of the delivery does
not exclude danger to life and limb of the operator or third parties, respectively doesnot exclude
the detraction of the machine and any other material assets.
2.2.3 The machine should only be operated when in good working order.Any malfunctions which may
impair thesafetymustbe removed immediately bytrained personnel or themanufacturer/supplier.
2.2.4 The foldingmachineisdesignedto foldflat sheetsonly. Foldingof any other material shouldnot be
attempted. The manufacturer or supplier would not be liable for any damage caused as a result.
