Features
Every FRX adjustable folding rod system is designed to meet the needs of the specific machine and applications as required.
Integration with Existing Folding Belts
FRX arms can be configured to integrate with existing assist folding belts on both upfold and downfold machines. This is typically achieved by adding in an additional pivot point, resulting in a “C-shaped” folding arm.
Index Scales for Repeating Challenging Setups
Every pivot point comes with fully indexed swivel plates and a sight that allows operators to repeat challenging setups.
Heavy Duty Hold-Downs at the Exit End
At the exit end of the folding section, where the boxes enter the counter-ejector or downstacker, custom length heavy duty hold-downs are used, which ensures the boxes leave the folding section flat.
Special Applications
The FRX system has proven effective in improving folding on upfold applications, downfold applications, and difficult to run specialty die cut orders like built-in divider and large panel center seam boxes.
