Operator's Manual multipli 35 Perforating - Scoring - Slitting
Mathias Bäuerle GmbH 57
Scoring Purpose of scoring:
• To create of a hinge-type zone to aid the subsequent crossfold if the sheet cannot
be perforated for functional reasons.
Scoring (1) is done with a male scoring wheel and a female counterpart.
A groove is pressed into the paper when it passes between the tools.
The texture of the material remains intact.
The male scoring wheel can be attached on the upper or lower ejector shaft, depending
on the subsequent type of fold.

Upper ejector shaft: subsequent fold in fold plate 1 or 3
Lower ejector shaft: subsequent fold in fold plate 2 or 4
Scoring wheels with different widths are available for scoring, depending on the
paper thickness.
Thin paper: narrow scoring wheel
Heavy paper: wide scoring wheel
The scoring disk (2) is used in conjunction with a grooved counterpart (3).
Make sure that the scoring disk runs exactly in the center of its groove.
If the setting is not precise, this may lead to inaccurate perforations and
premature wear of the tools.
Slitting Purpose of slitting:
• Slitting, trimming and strip cutting.
An upper (5) and a lower knife (6) are required for slitting.
The lower knife must be positioned close to the upper knife.
