Automated 6-buckle folder with integrated knife/buckle cross-folding for fast, accurate, operator-friendly production.

The AFV-566FKT brings 44 fully automated settings for rapid, precise changeovers. An improved touchscreen drives roller-gap and buckle-plate adjustments, while status LEDs give at-a-glance feedback.

Setup is ~20% faster than prior models, with quieter operation thanks to sound-proof covers.
