Floor-Model Folders — Upping the Ante

Faster Makereadies

Individually, modern folders allow operators to achieve makereadies in under 10 minutes, even on complex work, and they will usually run the job at faster speeds, Johnson explains. In addition, jobs can be stored in memory for even faster makereadies on repeat orders. However, if a shop has multiple machines it also can gain an advantage by having a lead operator doing the makeready on two or three machines and then have lesser-skilled people tending the machines during the run.
