This Heidelberg Stahl TD 52 4- is a folding machine — also commonly referred to as a paper folder — designed to automatically fold printed sheets into a wide range of configurations for booklets, brochures, leaflets, and other folded print products. Heidelberg is one of the most widely recognised names in the printing and print-finishing industry, producing equipment used by commercial printers, packaging operations, and trade finishers worldwide.
This used example dates from 1999 and is located in Germany, offered in good condition. The machine handles a sheet format of 52 × 80 cm, and the full configuration is identified by the manufacturer as the TD 52/4-4, indicating a two-unit buckle-fold layout.
The feeding section includes both an FD 52 flat-pile feeder and a Stahl Tremat suction feeder, giving operators flexibility in how sheets are introduced to the fold sequence. The first folding unit carries four buckle plates and is equipped with a perforation shaft, allowing perforation to be applied inline during the folding process. The second folding unit likewise carries four buckle plates, providing a broad range of fold combinations across the two units combined.
A notable inclusion is a gatefold buckle plate fitted with a digital controller — specifically the Heidelberg ACC 2.4 — which allows precise, digitally governed adjustment of the gate-fold function. Sheet delivery is handled by a SAK 56 S1 delivery unit, completing the output stage of the fold line.
