Before You Begin 1-2 Machine Descriptions 1-2-1 Overview Glue Temperature Control Knob This knob is used to adjust the glue temperature. A high temperature increases the penetration of the glue into the book spine, but shortens the service life of glue. The normal glue temperature is 180 degrees Celsius. Melt Tank Unit The melted glue is applied to the book spine by this unit. Glue Supply Port Glue must be supplied in this port when the fins project about 1 cm above the surface of melted glue. Do not fill above the limit (RED) line. Roughening Cutter Guide The book spine is roughened during its passage between these guides. The roughening cutter rotates under these guides. The clamper will not move when these guides are open. Application Drum This drum rotation is synchronized with the motion of the clamper and applies glue to the book spine. Clamper A set of sheets are clamped with the clamper and transported to the gluing station, before being returned to the nipping section. Brush This brush prevents scattering of trimmings. Guard This guard protects fingers. When the guard is tilted by the finished book, it resets the nipper. Glue Adjusting Knob This knob is loosened and locked in desired position. The number on the scale shows the amount of glue applied to the book spine in “mm”. Nipper The nipper holds the book block and cover together and forms the square spine of the book. The nipper descends with the clamper movement. Tape Alignment Guide Adjusting Knob This knob is used to adjust the width of the tape guides. Refer to page 15 for details. Clamper Open/Close Buttons The clamper is opened and closed with these buttons. Refer to page 4 for details. 3 1. Before You Begin 1-2 Machine Descriptions Spine Cooling Blower Pipe Air blown from this pipe cools the spine of the perfect bound book. Cover Stopper The cover is aligned with this stopper which is adjustable to suit cover size. Nipper Pressure Adjustment Knob The knob is used to adjust the nipper pressure. The nipper pressure increases when the knob is turned clockwise. When the nipper pressure is too weak, the binding quality may deteriorate. Operation Panel The machine is operated from this panel. Refer to page 4 for details. Trimmings Bag Trimmings are collected in this bag, which should be emptied sufficiently often to maintain adequate suction. Breaker Refer to “3-6 Resetting the breaker”(p.28) for operating details. 4 1. Before You Begin 1-2 Machine Descriptions 1-2-2 Operation Panel Power Switch The power lamp lights when the power switch is turned on. Standby Lamp This lamp lights when the machine is at standby. Standby Switch The state of the machine (standby or in operation) is selected with this switch. When the machine is not going to be operated for two hours or more, select the standby mode. Roughening Cutter ON/ OFF Switch Binding with/without roughening can be selected with this switch. Binding Mode Select Switch The binding mode can be selected with this switch. Left side : Binding without a cover (Padding) 02BQ51A03 Left side: Binding without roughening Right side: Binding with roughening Right side : Binding with a cover or tape Roughening Cutter Monitor Lamp This lamp lights when the roughening cutter stopped between the two roughening cutter guides. Binding without roughening cannot be performed when lamp is on. If this lamp lights, operate the roughening cutter ON/ OFF switch several times to change the roughening cutter position until this lamp goes out. Nipping Time Control Knob The length of nipping time is adjustable with this knob.This knob is normally turned clockwise for binding a thick book or with a hard cover. Start Lamp This lamp lights when the machine starts operating. Reset Lamp Binding Start Button When the start lamp is lit and this button is pressed, the clamper starts traveling. Reset Button If the stop button has been pressed and the clamper stopped at an intermediate position of its travel, pressing this button returns the clamper to the home position. Clamper Close Button Pressing this button closes the clamper. Stop Button Pressing this button will bring the clamper and roughening cutter to a halt. Clamper Open Button Pressing this button opens the clamper. 5 1.

Operation Procedure 2-2 Achieving Good Quality Binding (1) Requirements for Binding with Good Quality 1. Tap the book block up and down in the clamper to ensure that all sheets are correctly positioned (see drawing 1 below). If this has not been done, glue will not be applied to the edges of any sheets which are riding proud of the block (see drawing 2 below). 2. Hold the book block by hands to prevent from curling the bottom of book.(see drawing 3 below.) 3. Set up the cover in the correct position. Improper cover setting cause the cover to skew. 4. If a cover is used when the grain direction of the material is not parallel to the folding lines, good quality binding will not be possible. (2) Correct and Incorrect Clamping of the Book Block 17 2.

Keep your hands and fingers away from the melt tank. Otherwise severe personal injury can result. - Be sure to wear gloves when adding glue. Cover Glue Addition Point CAUTION - Do not add glue to a level higher than the red line on the level scale in the melt tank. -Open the cover before adding glue. -Add glue before the fins are project 1 cm above the surface of the glue. -When adding glue during binding operation, add the glue into the melt tank little by little to prevent the glue temperature from dropping rapidly. -It is suggested that glue is added in the standby mode after finishing binding work. Level Scale C Ke AU bel ep gl TION ow ue red leve line l . Horizon Hot-melt Glue Fin Hot-melt glue is solid at normal temperature, starts to soften at 100 degrees Celsius and turns to a liquid as the temperature rises further. The liquid glue permeates the book sheets, and then solidifies and adheres to the sheets as the temperature falls. The quality of the hot-melt glue will deteriorate after long-term use at high temperature. Continuous binding operations with new glue being regularly added will not lead to rapid deterioration of the glue, but the same material will deteriotrate after continuous exposure to high temperature and will suffer from gelation after 50 hours have passed. Glue exposed to ultraviolet radiation for 6 to 12 months will becomes brittle, but this creates no problem in normal use. The cover of a bound book will protect the glue from direct ultraviolet irradiation. 22 3.Maintenance 3-2 Emptying the Trimmings Bag Empty the trimmings bag at least once every 2 weeks to maintain suction from the blower. WARNING - Always turn off the power switch before emptying the trimmings bag, otherwise severe personal injury could result. 1. Open the door of the blower unit. Door 2. Undo the string and remove the trimmings bag. 3. Empty the trimmings bag. 4. Refit the trimmings bag to the blower inlet and secure it with the string. 5. Close the door in the blower unit. Trimming Bag String Trimmings Bag Blower Secure With the string 23 3.Maintenance 3-3 Brush Replacement When trimmings remain scattered around the roughening unit because the brushes have deteriorated, replace the brushes. WARNINGS - Turn off the main power before replacing the brushes. Otherwise severe personal injury could result. - The melt tank will remain hot after binding operations. Keep your hands and fingers away from the hot melt tank, otherwise severe personal injury could result. Brush 1. Turn off the power switch. 2. Remove the old brushes by pulling them Power Switch straight up. 3. Insert the new brushes. 24 3.Maintenance 3-4 Roughening Cutter Replacement Although the roughening cutter is sufficiently durable, it will need to be replaced when the book spine is coarse or when the speed of rotation slows markedly. NOTE This cutter is reversible. Fixing Screws WARNINGS -Turn off the main power before replacing the roughening cutter. - Wear leather or other thick material gloves when replacing the roughening cutter. - The roughening cutter may spring out when the fixing screw is loosened, so place a cloth over the cutter before loosening the fixing screw. 1.
