LOADER AF

Fully automatic speed

This high speed stream feeder removes any manual interaction when loading board into your BOBST AUTOPLATEN® die‑cutter or flexo printing press, but it also looks after your delicate substrates. LOADER AF ensures smoother, faster and more consistent feeding, without stoppage, while letting your machine run at maximum throughput. In addition, LOADER AF handles everything from micro-flute to heavy double-wall corrugated boards. Integrated with HMI SPHERE, LOADER AF offers fully automated, digitized control for seamless operation, optimizing efficiency, throughput, and precision with intuitive touchscreen monitoring.
