JPH11105457A - Method for controlling coupling operation of bookbinder - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To rapidly transmit a large quantity of information in the case of coupling by a bookbinder. SOLUTION: A plurality of machines are coupled and systemized in the bookbinder 2, and controlled to be operated therebetween by using an information transmitting means. In this case, the respective machines need many pieces of information. But, contents are duplicated between the machines or can be used by calculating. Accordingly, at the time of transmitting the information in the case of systemizing the machines, accurate information can be rapidly used, and hence the machines can be set up faster.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a binding operation control method for a bookbinding machine for controlling the operation of a plurality of line-based machines by using information transmission means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, a collating machine and a bookbinding machine are connected to each other.
It is just a connection between the bookbinding machines.

[0003]

However, at present, in various industrial machine fields, there has been a trend that a large amount of information can be transmitted at high speed. However, at present it has not been used yet. In addition, one operator is required for one machine, and data such as the number of bookbindings must be input for each machine, which is very inconvenient. In the event of a trouble during bookbinding, the operator in charge aloud, and the operator in charge of another machine.
The operator has been notified of the abnormality and taken measures such as stopping the machine in charge of each operator.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the gist of the present invention is a line system in which a plurality of machines are connected in a bookbinding machine. The present invention provides a method for controlling a connection operation of a bookbinding machine, wherein operation control is performed by using an information transmission means between the machines.

That is, since it is now possible to transmit a large amount of information at a high speed, the line systems of a collating machine, a bookbinding machine, a stacker, a three-way cutting machine, a cover hanging machine, and a packaging machine are required. By inputting all the information relating to the printing book on the master machine, the necessary data in the information is read out by each machine and the machine is set. The information input by each machine is read out by another machine to perform a set operation. Further, the information input at the time of the line operation can be used as common information at the time of the line operation, and the information input at the time of the line operation can also be used as the information at the time of the line operation. Next, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, as an embodiment, the line system of the bookbinding machine is as follows: 1) connection of the collating machine 1 with the bookbinding machine 2) coupling of the collating machine 1 with the bookbinding machine 2 and the stacker 3) Bookbinding machine 2, Stacker-3, Three-way cutting machine 4
4) Collating machine 1, bookbinding machine 2, stacker-3, three-way cutting machine 4, and packaging machine 5 5) Collating machine 1 and bookbinding machine 2, stacker-3, three-way cutting machine 4, packaging Connection of machine 5 and cover-hanging machine 6 As described above, there are five line systems. Each machine is connected by a connecting device 7 such as a conveyor. Next, the data required for each machine are as follows: 1) Collating machine A) Size (size) of signatures to be collated B) Number of collation C) Thickness of each signature D) Number of bindings E) Binding Speed 2) Bookbinding machine A) Size of booklet (size) B) Book thickness (number of collated sheets x thickness of signature) C) Cover size D) Bookbinding method (Musen, Ajiro, Threading) E) Number of booklets F) Bookbinding speed 3) Stacker 1) Number of stocks 2) Size of book (size) 3) Book thickness 4) Three-way cutting machine 1) Size of finished book (size) 2) Material book 3) Cutting thickness (stock number x book thickness) 4) Cutting margin 5) Packaging machine 1) Book size (finish book / dimensions) 2) Thickness (cutting) Thickness) 3) Speed 6) Covering 1) Size of book 2) Thickness of book 3) Speed

[0006]

As described above, a large amount of information is required for each machine. However, since the contents can be used for each machine by duplication or calculation, if the information can be transmitted in a line system, Faster setup because accurate information can be used quickly.
