Abstract
The three-side trimmer comprises an alignment station (F) for receiving booklet bundle () and aligning the booklets, and a cutting station (D) for cutting the top, bottom and fore edges of the bundle, and a chuck mechanism () which holds the bundle and conveys it to the cutting station. The cutting station has a cutting table (), a top edge cutting knife (), a bottom edge cutting knife (), a fore edge cutting knife, and a pressing platemovable between a waiting position and a working position. An encoder reads the data about the rotational position of the servomotor () in the chuck mechanism while it holds the booklet bundle. The control portion () measures the height of the bundle and controls a driving mechanism of the pressing plate such that the pressing plate moves up and down between waiting and working positions.
