Staude Gluing Machine

One of the best gluing machines on the market is the “Staude Automatic,” made by the E. G. Staude Manufacturing Company, of St. Paul, Minn. This machine is fitted with a vertical stacker and other improved devices which make it possible for the folding box-maker to handle a wide range of work at high speed.

CUTTING AND CREASING ON CYLINDER PRESSES

Spacious forms containing a large number of steel cutting and creasing dies are being handled on cylinder presses, and the dies and make-ready are practically the same as for cutting and creasing on platen presses. The Walter Scott & Company, of Plainfield, N. J., manufacture special cylinder presses for use on cutting and creasing forms, and on order, these presses will be furnished with one- or two-color printing attachments.

Cutting and creasing can be done on any style of cylinder press, provided that the cylinder of the press is fitted with a flexible steel sheet on the order of a steel platen plate. The cylinder must be timed and adjusted to provide for the steel surface sheet. These changes should be made by an expert machinist.

Make-ready for cutting and creasing on a cylinder press is practically the same as on a platen press.
