In a cover feeding device () for feeding covers () separated from a magazine (') to book blocks () that are transported while being clamped in book block grippers (), it is proposed that the magazine (&#x2032;) features at least a first lateral stop () that is arranged such that it can be fixed transverse to the withdrawal direction () and against which different covers () intended, in particular, for book blocks () of different thickness can be jointly placed, and that at least the magazine (&#x2032;) can be adjusted transverse to the withdrawal direction () such that an edge () of the spine region of the respective cover to be separated is withdrawn essentially in alignment with the rigid gripping jaw ().

Cover feeding device

In a machine () for manufacturing perfect-bound brochures () that includes a book block conveying device () with an endless conveying means (), a plurality of clamps () that are arranged on the conveying means at a fixed pitch spacing (T) and serve for clamping book blocks (), and of at least one processing station () that can be adjusted in a motor-driven fashion, the cycle time (t) referred to the conveyance of the clamps () by the pitch spacing (T) defined in the at least one processing station is divided into an adjusting segment (t, t) for resetting and/or adjusting the at least one processing station () in accordance with changing printed product characteristics and a processing segment (t, t) for processing the book blocks () and/or covers (). The resetting of the at least one processing station to another printed product can take place within one work cycle (t) of the respective processing station while the conveyance of the book blocks () continues.

Device for manufacturing perfect-bound products

A book binding machine for processing book blocks () features a transport system () with a plurality of book block clamps () for receiving the book blocks () that can be continuously moved along a closed circulation path and are coupled to a traction mechanism (), wherein the traction mechanism () revolves around a driving wheel () and a deflection wheel and is tensioned by means of a tensioning device. Processing stations () are arranged in the region of straight sections of the circulation path. The driving wheel () is driven by a gearless, rotative electric direct drive (), wherein a first rotating component () of the rotative direct drive () is mounted or realized directly on the driving wheel ().

Book binding machine

A bookbinding machine for processing inner books includes a transport system with a multiplicity of inner-book clamps continually movable in a closed continuous track. Each of the inner book clamps is articulated to a circulating roller chain and has a rear-edge stop for aligning the inner books. The bookbinding machine includes workstations that perform positionally accurate operations on the inner books including the application of glue, the application of reinforcement or gauze sections, the application of jackets, binding with wire stitches, the introduction of utilisation features (e.g. punched holes, tear-off perforations, etc.) and the like. The transport system of the inner-book clamps and at least one workstation are driven independently of one another. A measuring system for positional detection of the inner-book clamps or of the inner books is provided in proximity to the independently driven workstation. The measuring system provides inner book or clamp position data used to control the workstation performing positionally accurate operation on the relevant inner book.

Bookbinding machine

The bookbinding machine with a transport system for continuously conveying stacks of sheets at cyclical intervals having a jacket-laying-on device with a chain conveyer, and transporters which engage behind the jackets and feed them to the stacks of sheets in an aligned and synchronous manner. The movement of the transporters is controlled in such a way that they maintain their perpendicular position in the rerouting system after the feeding-in of the jackets.

Jacket-laying-on device for bookbinding machines

A cover-feeder for isolating the uppermost cover, in each case, of a flat stack which is continuously advanced, with lateral alignment and as far as a front-edge stop, in an imbricated formation on a transport belt belonging to a feed table, the cover-feeder having a series of separating suction devices belonging to a suction head, which suction head can be pivoted to and fro, for lifting the cover off the stack, and having a drawing-off arrangement for taking over the cover and transferring it to a forwarding conveyor. For the functionally reliable feeding of covers with flaps which are tucked in on one side or with flaps which are tucked in on both sides with enclosed data-carrier disks, the feed table ( ) with the transport belt ( ) is capable of being positioned obliquely via an adjusting arrangement ( ), transversely to the direction of drawing-off of the covers ( ), in such a way that the elevational line of that face of the covers ( ) which is acted upon by the separating suction devices ( ) runs parallel to the elevational line of the said separating suction devices ( ).

Cover-feeder

A bookbinding machine having an inner-book transporting system, consisting of a conveyer, preferably a roller chain with individual links that engage movably in one another, running around deflecting wheels, and of a multiplicity of clamps, at points of articulation of the conveyer, for clamping-in stacks of leaves, which clamps are disposed at equal mutual distances from one another and so as to be movable, drivewise on the conveyer means, and are guided in tracks on a machine frame, having an entry and an exit and having a number of processing stations along rectilinear conveyer paths, wherein the machine frame ( ) has, in the region of the processing stations, a path section (A, B) in a length corresponding to a grid arrangement (R) with a defined basic dimension (x), and processing stations in the form of functional modules ( ) in a breadth corresponding to the grid arrangement (R). The processing stations can be inserted at different places in the path section (A, B) in a manner corresponding to the grid arrangement (R) and can be interchanged with one another.
