Page 30: Basic Theory Of Buckle Folding
BASIC THEORY OF BUCKLE FOLDING If a sheet of paper is laid on a flat surface and driven into a stationary object, a buckle or series of buckles will form along the surface of the sheet. If the sheet of paper is pushed into a narrow channel before butting up against the stationary object, the buckles that form within the channel will be of a much smaller size than free-forming buckles. - Page 31 If the channel is angled to produce a downward pressure, and two folding rollers, spinning as indicated, are placed close to the end of the channel, the larger buckles that start forming there will always be formed downward and be pulled into the rollers, compressing into a fold.
- Page 32 On a buckle folder, the sheet is laid flat on a feed table and then enters the fold plate assembly where it comes to a stop against the stationary sheet stop. A series of buckles then forms throughout the sheet. The buckles within the fold plate are kept very small by the narrow channel design.
