Title: Shigeyoshi Tago: Innovator in Bookbinding Technology
Introduction
Shigeyoshi Tago is a notable inventor based in Takashima, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of bookbinding technology, holding a total of 2 patents. His innovative designs have improved the efficiency and precision of bookbinding processes.
Latest Patents
One of Tago's latest inventions is a bookbinding machine that calculates a rotational speed coefficient. This coefficient represents the percent change of a rotational speed of a pump relative to the reference rotational speed of the pump. The calculation depends on the thickness of the book block to be bound and the conveying speed of a clamper. The machine utilizes a first function that defines the relationship between the thickness of the book block and the rotational speed coefficient, along with a second function that defines the relationship between the rotational speed coefficient and the conveying speed of the clamper. It calculates the set value of the rotational speed of the pump based on these coefficients and sets the pump's rotational speed accordingly.
Another significant invention by Tago is a perfect binding machine. This machine features a measurement unit equipped with a fixed body that has a reference surface. A movable body slides within the base along a guide rail, and a measurement body with a measuring surface also slides in the movable body. The measurement body is pressed against a first side wall of the movable body by a coil spring. The machine includes a first sensor to detect when a book body is located on the front side of the reference surface, and a second sensor to detect when the measurement body is separated from the first side wall by a predetermined distance.
