For small size stacks, the feeding
operation can be done using only thefeed rotor for stable feeding.

Fold Roller Gaps (Auto for 408F and 406F)

All fold roller gaps
are automaticallyset by insertinga single strip ofpaper. Gaps set
according to sheet

7 FOLD ROLLER DRIVE

Register Guide Position (Auto)

Unique design and precision
manufacturing insures folding
accuracy and long roller life. Soft or
hard urethane rollers are available
depending upon folding requirements.

Flexible cross couplings are employed
for consistent drive of the fold rollers,even with thick paper or complex folds,
and accurate folding performanceover the life of the machine. Horizon's
unique belt drive system provides
reliable, quiet operation.

The register guide is coated with a
special anti-static plating, for troublefree folding of printed sheets, evenin dry climates, where static can be a
problem. A newly-designed registerguide ensures stable transportation
and accurate registration of a wide
range of paper stocks. An automatedregister conveyor sets each guidedepending on the sheet width.
