Paper Transport - Book Transport
Flights (fingers) on the belts push the set through the machine from the gathering
area via the staple area and to the fold area.
The belts run the length of the endlays and are moved by stepper motors. Each
endlay has two belts with flights that can
• move in opposite directions to increase and decrease the distance between the
flights according to the size of the book
• move in the same direction to transport the book through the machine.
The belts are independently driven by stepper motors.
Each flight has a metal reference pin that interrupts optical sensors as the belts
move. From this, the machine knows the position of the flights and can then adjust
the position as needed for different sizes of paper.
Additionally, one belt per side has a magnetic index pin that is seen by a sensor and
provides the index position.
The paper transport moves the set from the gather area to the staple area and then
to the fold area.
