A high-output commercial folder for medium to large printing facilities, engineered for uninterrupted bulk production with stable quality over extended runs. The usual choice for mass-produced brochures, catalogues and pharmaceutical inserts.
High-output commercial workhorse for medium to large printing facilities. Engineered for uninterrupted bulk production with stable quality for extended production runs. Perfect for mass-producing brochures, catalogues, product manuals and promotional print materials; supports half, Z-fold, gate, double parallel and cross folds.
Sheets run from 60 × 100 mm to 600 × 1000 mm with a 750 mm pile and a 180 m/min top speed. The larger pile is the practical difference from the T490/T520 platform: fewer reloads per shift, and with a round-pile feeder it is what makes one-operator, long-batch running realistic.
Configurations from 10+4 through 14+6 buckle plates, with transfer-bridge and vertical-stacker variants. 3.5 kW at 380 V; 4650 × 1200 × 1500 mm; 1200 kg.
Further configuration examples are shown below. Confirm the plate set against your own fold pattern before ordering.

Examples named in this model's product overview. The ordered plate arrangement, paper and finished format determine the actual fold set; confirm each job with a fold test.
Half fold One fold, two panels — leaflets, mailers, greeting cards. 
Z fold Parallel fold lines alternate so the sheet opens in a zig-zag. 
Gate fold Two panels fold inward and meet in the centre — the classic programme insert. 
Double parallel fold Two folds, four panels, opened in the middle like a book. 
Cross fold A parallel fold followed by a fold at right angles on the second unit. Selected items mentioned in this model's published overview and features. Their labels describe the relationship, not a standard bill of materials; confirm the ordered configuration with our team.

Solution · Automatic folding Automatic Paper Folding Machines An automatic paper folding machine does three things a hand-fed folder cannot: it separates one sheet at a time from a full pile, it holds that sheet in register through every fold, and it delivers a counted, squared stack at the end. Everything that decides your unit cost — how many operators you n 
Solution · High-speed folding High-Speed Paper Folding Machines Speed on a folding machine is not a single number. A folder only holds its rated 180 or 210 m/min if the feeder keeps up, the rollers do not slip, and the delivery does not force a stop every few thousand sheets. High-speed folding is therefore a system question: feeder continuity, transmission type Solution · Commercial print Commercial Paper Folding Machines A commercial print finisher is judged on the number of different jobs that can leave the floor in a day. That makes changeover time, fold-pattern range and the ability to switch paper stock between jobs more important than a headline speed figure nobody runs all week. A definition, the three machine types, and how to tell which one your work needs.
From pile to squared stack — the feeding, folding and delivery stages, and what each one costs you when it is set wrong.
Seven decisions, in the order that eliminates machines fastest — with the numbers to bring to a supplier.
T490 A high-precision entry-level buckle folder for miniature printed sheets, with quick changeover for small-batch production. The most compact machine in the SPEED range and the usual choice for pharmaceutical inserts and instruction leaflets.
T520 A flexible medium-small folder purpose-built for pharmaceutical leaflets and mixed print production. Fully inline compatible with a flattening press, parallel cutter, labelling machine, hot-melt gluing machine and vertical stacker.
T780 The flagship heavy-duty industrial model for oversized sheets and high-volume lines, equipped with a vacuum feeding system, double-sheet detection, servo drive and PLC touch-screen control. Built for large brochures, maps and packaging work.
Parallel, roll and gate folds in 100–200 gsm stock, folded square enough to stack flat.
Commercial print shops alternate between brochure, catalogue and mailer formats. Fold-pattern coverage and changeover time therefore matter alongside running speed.
T490, T600 and T780 configurations cover different sheet formats. Round-pile feeding can support longer runs on compatible T600 and T780 lines. Match the plate set and feeder to the real job mix.
Leaflets and promotional inserts folded to carton size, packed by automatic equipment.
Carton inserts and promotional leaflets are folded to a finished size that downstream equipment can pick up consistently. Square edges and flat stacks may be needed for automatic packing.
T520, T600 or T780 folding configurations can be paired with SD-X250 trimming or SD-XP300 pressing when the finishing requirement calls for them. Confirm the carton and stock before selecting modules.
Parallel and cross folds for section-sewn and perfect-bound work.
Publishing signatures require stable register through parallel and cross folds so sections collate and bind cleanly.
T600 and T780 configurations address different sheet formats. A compatible round-pile feeder can reduce stops on long batches. Set the fold pattern and feeder against the actual signature stock.
