7. SUB-ASSEMBLY OVERVIEW
7.1. CRIMPING ASSEMBLY
The crimping assembly is located at the front of the machine. It extends from the top of the spring returns
protruding from the top cover down along the front and includes the three knives, knife adjustment screws,
and crimp dies. Most of the moving parts of this assembly are protected by a safety cover. The crimping
assembly performs the first step in producing a fold in the blank. Pulling the crimp handle forces the three
knives to press into the blank and move the material into the mandrel assembly. The crimp depth can be
adjusted by utilizing the knob extending from the middle of the crimping assembly (see Section 10).
