Case Making Machine for Soft Covers for Hardcover Book

This machine is designed for casing-in hardcover books or notebooks. It is suitable for both rigid and flexible covers.

 

The machine consists of a control system, pre-positioning mechanism, book core feeding mechanism, book core conveyor, book core positioning unit, cover separation mechanism, cover shaping unit, cover conveyor, book core gluing mechanism, casing-in unit, transmission system, and a book collection unit.

 

1. Storage and Memory: The machine can store historical data for easy recall and allows for presetting and saving of new data.
2. Automatic Adjustments: Users input the dimensions of the book core and cover (length, width, thickness) via a touchscreen. A servo drive system automatically adjusts nine parameters including the cover conveyor length and width, cover rounding, cover positioning, book core transport height, chain grip, and book core positioning in both width and length, ensuring convenience, precision, and high efficiency when changing specifications.
3. Fault Detection: Alerts are issued, and the machine stops automatically upon any malfunction, with the fault displayed onscreen.
4. Book Core Positioning:Individual book cores are fed into the conveyor chain, pre-positioned, and delivered to the positioning unit by a chain equipped with a delivery rod, which separates and accurately positions the cores.
5. Gluing:After positioning, the book core is moved upwards by a lifting knife and passes through a rotating gluing roller. The textured rollers cater specifically to rounded spine gluing requirements.
6. Cover Shaping:Individual covers are fed through the separation unit into the cover shaping area where they are flattened and rounded by heated rollers to achieve the required curvature.
7. Cover Positioning:Shaped covers are pushed forward for precise positioning by the conveyor system.
8. Casing-In:The glued book core and positioned cover are lifted to the casing-in unit, where the combination is completed.
9. Book Collection:Completed books (notebooks) are released from the lifting knife and gently guided onto a conveyor belt for output.
10. Automatic Lubrication:The machine features a timed and quantified lubrication system that ensures all major lubrication points receive oil during operation.
