A4:Suitable for folded‑edge processing of shoe midsoles and high‑grade foam midsoles after gluing, rounded‑corner folding for hard cardboard inside leather bags. It also performs fine folding on shoe‑upper parts such as front toe, heel and shoe opening.

Q5: What production scenarios is AFB‑202 Cement Insole Folding Machine mainly used for?

A5:Applied in shoe‑making factories and leather‑luggage processing plants for large‑scale folding‑edge mass production for shoe midsoles, foam, shoe uppers and hard cardboard for leather bags.

三. Utility, Installation & Commissioning

Q6: What utility conditions are required for AFB‑202 Cement Insole Folding Machine?

A6:Power supply: 220V 50Hz single‑phase, reliable protective earthing is mandatory. No external air source required. Reserve space for workpiece feeding, operator access and maintenance.

Q7: What are requirements for installation & placement of AFB‑202 Cement Insole Folding Machine?

A7:Place machine on flat hard floor for stable operation without shaking. Keep clearance around machine for maintenance. Keep away from dusty and humid working environment.

Q8:What is complete test‑running operating procedure for AFB‑202 Cement Insole Folding Machine?

A8:

1.Confirm reliable earthing and connect 220V power supply, power‑on the machine.
2.Adjust folding‑width within range of 3‑6.5 mm according to product process. Enable reinforcement‑belt feeding function as needed.
3.Commission automatic gluing system and set glue‑output parameter; adjust machine running speed according to material property.
4.Run trial production with sample workpiece, inspect gluing quality, folding flatness and wrapping condition of reinforcement belt.
5.Mass‑production can be started only after sample acceptance.
6.Switch working mode for midsole folding or shoe‑upper folding respectively.
7.Power off machine after production and clean working surface.

Q9: What precautions for folding‑width adjustment?

A9:Folding width is stepless adjustable within 3‑6.5 mm. Test with sample after adjustment. Setting beyond this range will cause poor folding and workpiece rejection. Re‑check width parameter before producing different products.

四.Machine Structure & Components

Q10: What are the 5 core assemblies of AFB‑202 Cement Insole Folding Machine?

A10:5 modular core assemblies:
1.Mechanical frame assembly; 2.Precision folding‑transmission mechanism; 3.Automatic metering gluing assembly; 4.Reinforcement‑belt feeding mechanism; 5.Electrical operation‑control system.
‑Mechanical frame: main frame and worktable.
‑Precision folding‑transmission mechanism: folding actuator and folding‑width adjusting assembly.
‑Automatic metering gluing assembly: precision metering glue‑output unit.
‑Reinforcement‑belt feeding mechanism: feeding and wrapping assembly for reinforcement belt.
‑Electrical operation‑control system: operation panel, speed‑regulating unit.

Q11: What is the function of integrated reinforcement‑belt processing mechanism?

A11:It feeds anti‑deformation belt or decorative belt synchronously during folding operation. Reinforcement material is flatly wrapped inside workpiece edge to realize edge reinforcement and improve decorative appearance.

Q12:What does dual‑purpose machine function mean?

A12:Machine supports two switchable processing modes. Mode‑one: folding for shoe midsole, foam and hard cardboard for leather bags. Mode‑two: fine folding for shoe‑upper parts including toe, heel and shoe opening. One machine covers two kinds of processing requirements for higher utilization rate.

五.Safety, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Q13: What safety notes for AFB‑202 Cement Insole Folding Machine?

A13:

1.The whole machine must be reliably earthed against electric‑shock hazard.
2.Keep hands away from moving folding and transmission parts during running to avoid crush or cut injury.
3.Cut off power supply before commissioning, cleaning and maintenance.
4.Avoid scald injury caused by high‑temperature glue‑related components.
5.Non‑professionals shall not disassemble transmission or electrical control components without authorization.

Q14: What is maintenance schedule for AFB‑202 Cement Insole Folding Machine?

A14:Per shift: Clean glue residues and waste materials on worktable; check for abnormal running noise; verify folding‑width parameter.
Weekly: Check fasteners of folding‑transmission mechanism; inspect smoothness of reinforcement‑belt feeding; calibrate glue metering status.
Every half‑year: Tighten all mechanical and electrical fasteners; inspect wear of transmission parts.
Yearly: Complete machine overhaul, replace worn spare parts.
