At PRINT 09, Standard Horizon plans to showcase its new AFC-566F inline signature folder, which features six parallel and six optional cross plates. The system is to be shown with the Hunkeler UW6 unwinder, FM6 folder/merger and CS6-II rotary double-cutter, which together can operate at speeds of up to 600 feet per minute. 
The company states the machine, which integrates folder and cutter, is well suited for continuous-feed applications and producing variable-data direct mail pieces in one pass. The system also includes a slide-away register table, so the folder can be operated off-line when the print engine is idle or delivering stacked output to the high capacity stacker.
A new Standard Hunkeler FM6 Plow Fold/Web Merge Module is also set to premier at PRINT 09. This system combines plow folding and slit merging in one module, with integrated perforating wheels. The web is folded or merged and then cut into sheets by the CS6-II, featuring double-cut—or chip-out—for full-bleed documents.
