PLASTIKOIL NCF6 CONCEPT FORMER

PLASTIKOIL NCF6 CONCEPT FORMER

The PLASTIKOIL® NCF6 Concept Former, manufactured by Gateway Bookbinding Systems Ltd., represents a significant advancement in coil binding technology. This state-of-the-art machine offers a wide range of features designed to enhance productivity, ease of use, and quality of output.

The NCF6 Concept Former boasts impressive coil diameter capabilities, ranging from 6 mm to 30 mm, with options up to 50 mm. It also offers multiple pitch options, including 6,29 mm (.2475"), 4:1, 6 mm, 5:1, 3:1, and 2.5:1, as well as custom pitches to accommodate diverse binding needs. The machine can handle lengths from 16 to 46 cm, with an optional slide-in extension table allowing for lengths up to 109 cm.

At the heart of the NCF6 Concept Former is an enhanced PLC control system featuring a user-friendly color touchscreen interface. This intuitive system simplifies setup and changeovers, with pre-programmed temperature and machine speed values optimized for each coil size to ensure maximum productivity. The machine also incorporates advanced system status monitoring and a fault log to facilitate service and maintenance.

The NCF6 Concept Former's electrical system is designed for reliability and convenience, featuring AC motors, variable frequency drives, and breakers that eliminate the need for replacement fuses. An empty spool detection system allows for quick and easy spool changes, while improved ergonomics place the control touchscreen and emergency stop button within easy reach of the operator.

Other notable features include easy mandrel changeover, a positive hexagon mandrel drive, cost-effective interchangeable mandrel components, a unique spool brake design, and safety shields on the heater drum. The machine also incorporates an air cylinder coil eject and an automatic oiling system for consistent performance.

The NCF6 Concept Former offers a compact footprint and smooth, quiet operation, requiring minimal operator supervision. The innovative Hot Start option allows for stop/start operation with zero waste, making it an ideal choice for interline capabilities with the PBS 3000QS4. Optional packaging systems and single and dual interline modules can be easily integrated into the control system for seamless expansion.

The reverse cut lead edge smoothly navigates through punch holes, offering a significant advantage when binding thicker books compared to the standard cut lead edge. This option is available on new machines and as a retrofit for existing units.

In summary, the PLASTIKOIL® NCF6 Concept Former represents the next generation in coil binding technology, offering a comprehensive set of features designed to optimize productivity, quality, and ease of use for professional binding applications.
