ABSTRACT:
A system for folding sheet material is provided, including a fold blade, two fold components biased toward one another, and first drive means for moving at least one of the fold blade and the two fold components to position the fold blade between the two fold components and thereby displace the two components away from one another, where the two fold components are mounted on different support elements.
