JobPlanner” software

Everything fine calculation: From break-even to setup plan

Enter order data and the JobPlanner software calculates costs, runtime and the break-even point for the batch. The software also calculates the setup plan with the appropriate position for each tool. Repeat orders are saved.

Donate

With this we are going one step further.

With this tool, you can dispense a wide variety of extras, such as vouchers, cards and calendars, package inserts or cosmetic samples, etc.

Apply adhesive tape

Glue and (later) let it stick.

A device that is frequently used in practice. The ProFold 74 folds and/or applies adhesive tape to envelopes, folded postcards and other products that the customer should be able to seal easily later.

Dispenser with tear thread

Tear open where desired.

The customer should also be able to open it easily. To achieve this, the ProFold 74 includes a tear-off strip on the product.

Manufacture filling height

Everything has to go in.

Orders with a filling height, sometimes also called a standing spine, are very laborious to produce manually. With these products, a lot of time can be saved with the folding and gluing machine. The ProFold 74 is the only solution that can produce filling heights from 3 mm to 40 mm.

Creasing and perforating device

Everything works better when grooved.

For products that are only cut before folding and gluing and do not pass through a punch, the ProFold 74 performs the creasing and perforation at the same time. For example, greeting cards, folding cards, tickets, cut-outs and displays.

Movable control panel

Always where you need it.

Practical and time-saving: The control panel slides along the machine ready for use and the operator has both hands free at all times.

Free rotation up to 360

There is no such thing as “can’t do”.

The saying really applies here. The programmable device on the ProFold 74 rotates the product exactly as desired, from 1 to 360 degrees. It can be rotated at a striking angle.
