AFV-566FKT Folder

Enhance your operations:

The AFV-566FKT features automatic scoring navigation and double-sheet detection, an automated register table with an adjustable vacuum belt that eliminates steel and plastic drive pull-in for registration, and easier sheet loading with a single-piston suction head. Optional dynamic folding is also possible to change fold pattern on-the-fly for variable signatures to minimize blank sheets at the end of a book.

Fast setup:

Setup and changeover times are nearly 20% faster than the previous generation of folder

No trial-and-error:

The AFV-566FKT can automatically calculate the optimal feed interval to ensure top production speeds and efficiency with no manual adjustments.

Production speeds:

The system can reach speeds of up to 656 feet/min with cross-folding and up to 885 feet/min for parallel folds.

Stacking and banding:

This system is compatible with the Palamides Gamma 502 HO Automatic Stacker/Bander. This optional accessory for the AFV-566FKT counts and stacks output into pre-set quantities and then presses and jogs the stacks to ensure they are flat and fully aligned. Press strength automatically adjusts to the thickness of the stack, and all jogging mechanisms including side joggers are fully automated – manual intervention during setup is not required. Stacks can then be automatically banded for easy packing or left loose, depending on need. Setup on the Gamma 502 HO Automatic is fully automated, and the accessory can be controlled from the AFV-566FKT’s touchscreen control panel. Read more about the Gamma 502 HO Automatic Stacker/Bander.
