Horizon AFC-746F Large-format Folder
The Standard Horizon AFC-746F Large-format Folder includes advanced set-up automation through a user-friendly color touchscreen control panel that displays all common fold formats and sheet sizes for easy selection. The folder features quick changeover and fully-automated set-up with up to 47 automated adjustments including in-feed, roller gap, buckle-fold, and knife-fold sections. The AFC-746F is very flexible – with 6 buckle plates + 1st knife + 2 buckles under the knife, 1 buckle standard + 2nd knife. It handles sheet sizes up to 29.1” x 43.3” and as small as 8.27” x 11.695” with programmable memory for up to 200 different jobs. It includes a pallet pile feeder with suction head. The AFC-746F also contains a new ergonomically friendly slitter shaft removal system, where the operator can remove the perforation shaft automatically for easier blade setting – a quick release lever, internal elevator, and slide out carriage highlight this new feature.
