MBO K80

The screen diagonal of the M1 Advanced machine control is 15.6”. Jog mode is possible with open noise insulation and safety equipment. The machine can also be operated with two-hand operation. The M1 Advanced is compatible with the Datamanager 4.0, a software package for production planning. A fold imposition catalogue is also stored on the M1 Advanced providing support during setup.

Vivas ensures reliable flat sheet infeed and optimum sheet run with high throughput capacity. The Vivas vacuum system replaces the standard suction wheel and the ball rails. Vivas also guarantees no marks, even with delicate and freshly printed products. The vacuum of the suction belt is divided into two zones, infinite adjustments can be made for the corresponding paper quality during ongoing production.

The manually adjustable swing deflector means that the buckle plate can be easily opened and closed. The infinite precision adjustment ensures accurate adjustment of the buckle plate. The first buckle plate is always equipped with a continuous sheet stop. This enlarges the contact surface of the sheet by around 30 percent. The greater contact surface means that the sheet is not deformed, contributing to improved fold quality at high speeds.

The slitter shaft cassette is removable. At the ergonomically ideal height, all tools and strippers can be adjusted quickly and precisely, outside the machine. This means the operator does not have to lean inside the machine and can work in ergonomic comfort. The slitter shaft cassette therefore permits a one-person operation. It also contributes to a reduction in setup time of up to 60 %, for example in multi-up production.

Gatefold plates are required to produce closed gatefolds or altar folds. The gatefold plate is connected via the M1 machine control. The latest generation gatefold plates do not require additional photocells.

The Virotec fold rollers are the MBO “all-rounders”. They consist of alternating metal and special PU segments that are offset against one another. Virotec fold rollers permit very good fold quality – even with challenging materials, such as recycled or thin printing papers, and at high folding speeds.
