  • Folder for variable thickness collations

    Abstract: A folder includes a plurality of rotatable fold rollers and a plurality of rotatable nip rollers. Each nip roller forms a nip having a nip spacing with an adjacent fold roller. The nips may include an input nip for receiving collations, a plurality of intermediate nips for delivering the collations to one of a buckle chute and a deflector to form folded collations, and an output nip for discharging the folded collations. The folder may further include an adjustment system associated with each nip roller for selectively moving the nip roller with respect to the adjacent fold roller based on predetermined collation thickness data to change the nip spacing for sequential collations.
