T50 Buckle Folder

The  T50 is MBO’s high quality folder for the B2 sheet size.  Featuring the high productivity elements from the larger format machines, the T50 is made for fast make-ready and high productivity for long and short runs alike.  It is available as an economical manual function machine, or as an automated machine including movement of all buckle plate settings and fold roller calipers for lower make-ready times.  MBO’s quick change slitter shaft cassettes allow quick loading and quick adjustment of tooling such as perf wheels and scoring wheels; and even have pre-set tooling kits for repeat jobs.  The M1 control system has a user friendly graphical interface; just a few selections from the operator allows the machine to begin make-ready itself.  Things like MBO’s high-speed cone guides and larger drive system give it a top end speed of 230 m/m matching our core folding line speed.  This feature rich package makes the T50 the ideal folding machine for B2 sizes.
