The DigiFold Ultra is a creasing/folding machine with full bleed trim capabilities. It can slit, cut, crease, perforate and fold applications in one pass and is robustly designed to complement mid to high volume digital and offset production presses.
The DigiFold Ultra builds on top of the capabilities of the DigiFold Pro XL by adding in slitting and cutting functionality for full-bleed trim applications. It can produce everything that the DigiFold Pro XL can, but now with full bleed trim, in a single pass. High quality applications such as full-bleed 6 or 8-panel brochures become an easy task even for A4 (8.5”x11”) landscape finished formats.
The Ultra’s long sheet trimming capability is a strategic complement to the latest printing presses which now offer duplex printing on longer sheets. Instead of purchasing a standard guillotine that can only process up to 560mm long sheets, the Ultra allows customers to fully leverage the capabilities of their new presses, trimming applications up to 1300mm long.
The DigiFold Ultra comes standard with dual folding knives, one DynaCreaser, two slitting knives and one cross-cut knife. The Ultra maintains the high productivity seen on the previous generation Pro XL platforms. There are also attachments such as the Trim Waste Conveyor Belt and BST-4000 Belt Stacker which make the Ultra suited for longer unattended production runs.
After a sheet is fed, two automatically positioned slitters trim off the top and bottom of the sheet and a cross-cut knife is available to cut the lead and trail edges of the sheet. The top and bottom slitters can trim from 3 to 50 mm from the top and bottom edges of the sheet (max trim capability of 50mm will be dependent on trim strip behavior / paper properties).
An intuitive colour touch screen with a run screen that gives you a complete overview of the job in progress. Basic adjustments can be made “on the run” and access to crease and fold patterns is simple. The user interface is available in multiple languages. With new ‘Auto-settings’, this truly unique function takes care of the roller gap settings, speed adjustment and fan settings, removing time-consuming adjustments of various settings.
The two-in-one stacker combination lets you switch between folded and non-folded jobs from the user interface, no need to reconfigure the machine. Full Bleed Trimmed, non-folded jobs will come out on the lower stacker for non-folded sheets.
The optional table extension kit allows for applications made from extra-long sheets all the way up to 1300mm/51.2” in length. This will allow for processing of applications such as full-bleed trimmed extra-long banners and 8-panel A4 brochures.
