Horizon T-564A / T-566A Additional Free-Standing Buckle Unit
The Horizon T-564A / T-566A Buckle Unit expands folding flexibility by adding a dedicated, free-standing buckle station to compatible Horizon folding systems. Designed for complex fold patterns and high-accuracy production, this unit enables advanced signatures, map folds, and face-up or face-down configurations while maintaining precise sheet control at production speeds.
Key Features
- Additional free-standing buckle station for expanded folding configurations
- Available in 4-buckle (T-564A) or 6-buckle (T-566A) configurations
- Automatic buckle plate positioning based on sheet size and fold pattern
- Stand-alone color touch panel for fast, intuitive setup
- Specially coated buckle plates reduce friction and static for consistent fold accuracy
- Transport conveyor configurable for straight or right-angle output
- Wide selection of optional slit and perforation blades
Common Applications
- Map folds and multi-panel folding
- Face-up and face-down 16-page signature folding
