Control Systems
At the heart of all Autofolds is an advanced solid state control system. This system has been specifically designed for the Autofold range, and has been in constant use and development throughout the 25 year life of the Autofold.
The Autofold controller is based around a custom single board computer running bespoke software to give an intuitive easy to use control interface. This makes the Autofold simple to use for even those with little or no computer experience.
The controller constantly monitors functions and outputs of the
Autofold and gives clear feedback to the user in case of a fault
or incorrect useage.
All machine power is fed through the controller meaning that the Autofold only requires one 3 phase power supply and no other external power sources such as compressed air. The Autofold controller can use input voltages from 208V to 480V.These features give the machine the capability to be installed anywhere in the world with no modification.
