The folding path (3b) coincides with a branch of the belt conveyor (3) looped around the pulley (4).

The lower folding member includes a plurality of folding blades and the upper folding member includes a plurality of radial fold fingers.

The invention relates to a folding device (2) and a folding method, said folding device (2) having a folding bed (14) for a workpiece (3) and multiple folding robots (8, 9) with folding tools (20).

The folding path (3b) coincides with a branch of the belt conveyor (3) looped around the pulley (4).

A backgate bias is communicated to, and kink-inducing charges are conducted away from, the active volume through the conductive pathway.

The working system can prevent a bending failure due to the positional misalignment of the workpiece before, in the middle of, and after bending.

The folding is carried out by means of a folding plate (12) of which the folding face (16) comprises even towards the folding end a significant folding component which is parallel to the extremity (31) of the edge.

The second bending surface (136) rotates with respect to the first bending surface (124) during a bending operation.

The folding slide (3) has at least one first folding surface (13) and a second folding surface (14).

The rolling bearings 16 can each still perform a tilting movement in the raceway 20.

The back comprises a bending line (2) or a portion (3) between two bending lines (2) outside the folding portions.

Folding along fold line (32) results in the flap (26) being folded against the second panel (28).

Bending of the core causes the flexible body to be bent in a similar manner.

The invention further relates to a corresponding folding machine and to corresponding folding methods.

The first edges (40) extends in general alignment with the transverse foldlines, respectively.
