Baumfolder Gatefold - Manual (Page 7)

Setting up a Job to test.
It is important to set up a gatefold job
(1) step at a time. Work from the feeder
forward. Make your setup procedure the
same steps as the paper would travel
through the folder.
1. Always hand fold a sample as close
as possible to the final result that is
required. Mark the sample and place it where you can refer back to it. Note that
you must leave approximately 3mm or 1/8 inch gap between the (2) panels that
fold in toward each other. Use the conveniently located scale on the register
table to measure all dimensions. The “0” location of the scale is against the side
of the aluminum block where the scale starts.
2. After setting up the feeder and
register table, set up the fold head.
DO NOT INSTALL THE
GATEFOLD PLATE AT THIS
TIME. Begin by inserting sheets of
the stock to be folded into the
Baumsets as follows:
• Baumset #1 (1) Thickness
• Baumset #2 (1) Thickness
• Baumset #3 (1) Thickness
• Baumset #4 (2) Thicknesses
• Baumset #5 (4) Thicknesses (You will add more later to this one)
3. Set foldplate #1 to open folding position and set the length measured on the
first flap (L1). In the example of an 11 x 17 sheet, the first fold length will be 4-
1/4 inches. Remove the #2 and #4 plates and leave these positions open so that
the paper can fall onto the floor. Turn the handwheel on the folder before
starting to insure that all foldplates are not rubbing. Feed test sheets at the speed
you expect to be folding and match the fold from the first panel to match the
sample. Make sure this fold is acceptable before proceeding.
