Knife folding unit with flexible application options
Knife folding unit Z2/48 (65) The mobile knife folding unit Z2 with machine control M1 features a pneumatically driven knife that can be swivelled by 180°, and allows folding both from the top and from the bottom. The Z2 can be used for various application purposes. It also has the option of side fine-adjustment of the entire knife unit and, due to the larger infeed width of the Z2/65, wider formats can be processed – especially on buckle-plate folders such as folding unit II or on large combination folders such as folding unit IV, this opens up even more application possibilities.
