Struggling with Spare Parts such as Drives and Motors for Legacy Systems like Bobst and Post?

It is harder and harder to keep your old back folding machines, like Bobst and Post Machines, running because you cannot find spare parts. If you do spend the time to find them, they are extremely expensive. Field service expertise to maintain them is quickly diminishing also.

It may be time to seriously consider upgrading the control system on your machine(s) to a state-of-the-art motion control system, plus the latest bells and whistles available now can really streamline the process.

Looking for a Full Upgrade for the Control System?

Are you wondering where and how you can upgrade the control system on your back folding machine? Our IIS Solution can fix all of this. The IIS upgrade control package is designed for a high speed back-folding system.

All the steps and features used in the box making process are included. The upgraded system will accurately form, fold and glue the flaps on the back end of cardboard sheets. The backend folding phase for a box accommodates different size flaps and box widths.

WE CAN HELP!

The IIS Servo controlled upgrade package for the back-folding conversion system is the solution.

The IIS servo-controlled upgrade package was designed for a high speed back-folding system. Used in the box-making process to accurately form, fold and glue the flaps on the back end of cardboard sheets.

The back-end folding phase for a box accommodates different size flaps and box widths. Easy setup sequences, presented by the touchscreen HMI operator interface, provide quick changeovers and adjustments for fine-tuning the back-folding process. Product run details reside in system recipes for future recall. Diagnostic screens and status messages that alert the operator minimize loss of production.
