Binding equipment configuration and maintenance (on)

Post-press binding is a processing procedure with complex processes, multiple material types, and large changes. Because the working principles of the various processes of binding are completely different, all of them are manually operated by the imitators. Therefore, there are many types of binding machines and their structures, applications, and performances are different. At present, there are more than 300 types, models, and forms of binding equipment, and there are also more than 10 kinds of linkage production lines. Each line has a different model and form, and there is almost no commonality between stand-alone devices.

Although there are many types of printing presses, there are few varieties and the same working principle. The process of printing a book is relatively simple. The paper is imprinted once by a printing press, and this process is repeated to achieve the required printing times and number of prints, so that the structure of the printing machine The form is basically stable, and the design, manufacture, use, and adjustment are relatively simple and it is easy to accumulate mature experience. There are many binding process steps, and the binding materials and binding methods vary greatly. The simplest horse-riding linkage binding requires five or six processes, and there are dozens of complicated finishing processes. Therefore, the binding machine has two major features: First, the structure. There are many forms, and secondly, there are many mechanical movements. There is a wide gap between the printing and binding workload, which often results in the speed of binding not being able to keep up with the speed of printing. The contradiction between printing and unbalance is always very prominent. Therefore, it is very necessary to properly configure and properly maintain the binding equipment.

First, the equipment configuration

Whether it is investing in major equipment or investment auxiliary equipment, you must first familiarize yourself with and understand the basic conditions of the performance, price, quality, speed, etc. of the binding equipment to determine whether the equipment can effectively meet your configuration requirements; secondly, the binding equipment has strong adaptability. In addition to meeting the internal needs of the company, it is best to match the needs of some customers for non-standard substrates. If we choose the configuration that can adapt to the needs of the market and effectively solve the integration problems between various processes, thereby improving production efficiency and improving product quality, then the configuration plan is undoubtedly a success. Updating and adding the necessary equipment is a hardware factor that guarantees product quality, and the configuration of machine functions becomes even more important. In accordance with the same price to see the quality, the same quality to see the principle of price, as far as possible to make the configuration of the machine functions tend to be reasonable. Another purpose of rationalization is to maximize profits.

1. Folding machine

According to the different folding mechanism and technical performance, folding machines can be divided into knife-type folding machines, fence-type folding machines, grid-type knife folding machines and plastic line hot-booking folding machines.

The grid knife hybrid folder has both a fence type folding mechanism and a knife type folding mechanism. Its structural characteristics are: one, two, three, four, five, six fold can be used fence type, so the folding speed is fast, two, three, four fold can also be used with knife-type structure to match, so the folding quality is good , Stable performance, simple adjustment, easy operation and maintenance.

At present, most of the folding machines for post-press binding companies are usually equipped with a four-barrier + three-pitch knife-type hybrid folding machine, which can basically meet the requirements of all folding pages. However, if it is folded 4 open, 8 open, 16 open supermarkets DM ads, newspaper inserts, covers, small ads, then configure 4 open 2 barrier + 1 knife mixed knife folding machine is not only economical, but also easy and effortless adjustment. From the size point of view, the model with a folding width of 640mm is the current mainstream, but in order to adapt to the souvenir sheet, a model with a folding width of 740 to 760mm is suitable. In addition, it is better to have a double folding method in the configured folding machine, then your configuration function is basically perfect.

At present, the folding machine has up to 20 folding, more than 60 kinds of folding methods, and extends to the point of glue dispensing, pressing and receiving, automatic binding, printing address, labeling and other functions, according to the actual Need to choose these auxiliary functions.

Our company's folding machine configuration is: two full-page folding machines, one Japanese Zhengrong 740 four-barrier + three-pitch knife-type folding type folding machine (can be folded into small sheets and 33g thin paper), Purple macro 660 pairs 丌 4 fences + 3 knifes mixed knife folding machine 1 Taiwan (can be compatible with folding double), North Manshun 640 off 4 bars + 3 knife fence knife mixed folding machine 4 sets, 440 four open 2 fences + 2 knife blade folding machine 1 folder (fold cover, scraps and pieces).

2. Collating machine

According to the different page institutions, collation machines can be divided into clamp-type collation machines and roll-type collation machines (there are single points and double points); they are divided into vertical collations according to the type of page storage. Machine and horizontal pager. The clamp-type collation machine is slower than the roller collation machine because the operation of the pinch clamp is reciprocating, and it is generally suitable for medium-speed operation. The horizontal collation machine is generally used to support the automatic follow-up device, so manual renewals are not very convenient and are generally used to support high-speed linkage. At present, most printing companies in China are equipped with a vertical collation machine (rolling pages are used). From the standpoint of the actual production of the single page layout, 12 posts are most suitable for the posts, which can improve efficiency and reduce collocation errors. Since the number of bookbinding stations increases from 12 to 18, the probability of downtime and the probability of downtime will increase significantly in a given period of time as the number of bookbins in the collation machine increases and the number of individual posts increases. , will reduce the reliability and utilization factor of the machine. Of course, each station's automatic detection device and total discharge device are indispensable important configurations for the collation machine.
