Ideally suited for progressive commercial printers and trade finishing companies that are looking to move beyond the traditional limitations of legacy systems, Chameleon Finishing Systems are virtually unmatched in today’s competitive marketplace. The combination of the Chameleon’s unique make ready platform – a flexible design that goes far beyond the abilities of traditional fixed frame machines – and industry leading belt speed provide for quicker setups and faster production speeds on pocketed, direct mail, promotional, and many other packaging products.
Chameleon finishing systems are created by mixing various combinations of Chameleon modules with our many unique and often tailor made accessory packages, a third party glue system, and one of three delivery options. This modular approach to system building, particularly when coupled with our open architecture framework, allows for maximum flexibility and the ability to perform various specific tasks that many other legacy folding and gluing equipment manufactures find difficult - or are even unable - to achieve. It also allows for a wide variety of output possibilities under multiple operating conditions, in turn leading to complete Chameleon finishing systems that are setting new industry standards for multi-function folding and gluing.
While we do often start with a standard set of modules and accessories as a base, most Chameleon Finishing Systems are unique - The majority of complete multi-function folding and gluing systems that we produce are custom designed for that client’s specific use case, while still allowing them a large degree of flexibility and the ability to complete many other production tasks. To accomplish this, we start with a selection of our core group of standard modules & deliveries, combine them with a third party glue system, and add a full compliment of top mounted manipulation accessories as well as our quick-release upper belted transports and plow & cross-fold accessory packages. This approach allows us the ability to tailor make systems that are capable of meeting the needs of each specific customer both today and well into the future.
Below please find additional information on several of our more popular complete system configurations. These groupings should help act as a guide - and possibly provide inspiration - towards meeting your specific production needs. If you would like to learn more about Chameleon Finishing Systems and how we can work together with you to help increase your productivity, please contact us at your convenience. We would be happy to discuss our equipment offerings and our unique and industry leading approach to multi-function folder gluers at any time.
By far our most popular and versatile complete system, the MXX package - when custom tailored to the specific needs of each individual customer - allows for the ability to create an extremely wide variety of production solutions in one compact system. The base MXX System is made up of a single M3 module equipped with an upgraded controller, a top of the line 3 head glue system, a standard delivery, and a wide variety of top drives and other manipulation accessories. As are the majority of complete Chameleon systems, the MXX is available in 3 working widths - 650mm, 800mm, and 920mm – and has a footprint of approximately 6 meters in length including the delivery. This compact but effective system consists of a 3 meter split bed and dual section bridge and beam assembly transport / manipulation / affixing unit, combined in a single frame with a top load continuous vacuum assisted feeder and a 2 ½ meter long delivery.
Another popular Chameleon Finishing System option for those looking for a wide range of production capabilities in a piece of equipment with a longer footprint, the Chameleon M3S2 complete system may be a good alternative to the MXX. This system is made up of an M3 module followed by the standard two meter S2 module, and is equipped with an upgraded controller, a top of the line glue system, a standard delivery, and an extremely versatile grouping of top drives and other manipulation accessories. Again, as is the case with the majority of Chameleon Finishing Systems, the M3S2 is available in 3 working widths - 650mm, 800mm, and 920mm. This midrange system provides approximately 8 meters of length including the delivery, and consists of a 3 meter split bed and dual section bridge and beam assembly transport / manipulation / affixing unit combined in a single frame with a top load continuous vacuum assisted feeder, a separate standalone 2 meter single bed bridge and beam assembly transport / manipulation / affixing unit used in line, and a 2 ½ meter long delivery.
One of the most basic complete Chameleon finishing systems available, the EM2 still provides an oversized production capability when compared to the vast majority of legacy multi-function folder gluer equipment currently on the market, and does so in an extremely compact footprint. By equipping our standard M2 module (A two meter single bed bridge and beam assembly transport / manipulation / affixing unit combined in a single frame with a top load continuous vacuum assisted feeder) with a 2 gun glue system, a selection of top drives and manipulating accessories, and an economy delivery, the EM2 system takes up less than 4 meters of floor space - but still allows a skilled operator to produce many of the same jobs as legacy folding and gluing systems that take up twice as much floor space (Including pocket folders!).
