The DigiFold Pro XL is the latest addition to the Morgana DigiFold family. The machine is developed from the well proven Morgana DigiFold Pro and is equipped with the latest version of the patented DynaCrease creasing system. The unit incorporates a suction feeder that handles stock sizes from 210 to 1300 mm in length. The heavy duty automatic creasing and folding system is designed to complement mid to high volume digital and offset production presses.
Morgana DigiFold Pro XL fits perfectly with the long sheet capabilities of today’s production printers by featuring a pull out extension that handles sheet sizes up to 1300 mm as standard. This opens the door to new applications such as landscape booklet covers, book covers for oversized perfect bound books, multi-panel brochures, and the many other applications made possible by long sheet presses.
The DigiFold Pro XL is equipped with the latest version of Morgana’s DynaCrease, where the creasing blades can now be easily changed without the use of tools. An additional Static Crease option can be installed to enable different crease profiles to be applied in one pass, commonly used in the production of ‘hinge and spine’ creases in book covers. Changing the Static Crease blade for a perforation tool will provide the full range of crease and perforation options, such as tear out coupons and reply cards.
Morgana’s DigiFold Pro XL can fold up to 6000 A4 sheets per hour, and in crease only mode it can produce up to 7500 sheets per hour. The unit has a maximum loading capacity of 200 mm.
The top fed vacuum feeder ensures stable production for long runs. Morgana’s user friendly operator panel allows for the simple input of sheet size, media type, and thickness. With this information the Pro XL can automatically set the speed, roller gap, and fan settings.
A unique air knife system is used for sheet separation. Full cross perforation is available, plus up to five in line perforation/scoring wheels. The unit can produce up to 30 creases per sheet (Static Crease). It is equipped with both a belt stacker for folded sheets and a delivery tray for crease only jobs.
The loading and unloading areas are an open design to make it easy to monitor performance and make changing from job to job fast and efficient. The new open feeder design is capable of efficiently feeding a wide range of media types and weights. It is equipped with automated vacuum feed technology, specifically designed to handle the widest range of pre-printed media.
Commenting on this latest addition to the Morgana range, Ray Hillhouse, vice president sales and marketing, said: ‘The Pro XL is an important addition because of its wide stock range. We work closely with the print engine manufacturers on several levels. All of them were pushing into longer sheet applications with their latest print engines. As well as opening up a new range of possibilities, we have made the DigiFold easier to operate and automated much of the feeder set up with our new vacuum feeder.’
The DigiFold XL is available in the UK and Europe now, with shipments to North America beginning in the summer.
