The ACC 2.4 is a digital control module for operating gate fold buckle plates, gluing equipment, and timed perforating heads. A combination of integrated functions inline with the folding process lets the folder add more value and shortens the manufacturing cycle considerably. With its outstanding flexibility, this digital control module represents considerably greater value than conventional controllers designed for only a single application. Any two inline functions can be combined and are independently controlled.

• Controls the pneumatically operated FFP gatefold buckle plate, gluing heads, and EAP heads for timed perforation
• Reduces investment costs compared to conventional controllers designed for only a single application
• Simultaneous, but independent, control of:
  2 gatefold buckle plates
  or 2 glue guns
  or 2 EAP heads
  or 1 gatefold buckle plate and 1 glue gun
  or 1 gatefold buckle plate and 1 EAP head
  or 1 glue gun and 1 EAP head

Combination buckle plates make it much easier to operate folders.
