Method and apparatus for reversing ring-bound books

ActiveJP2026075291ABook bindingManipulator
This invention provides a reversing device for ring-bound books that can easily and reliably reverse the stacking direction of multiple sheets of paper on the backing board of a ring-bound book. [Solution] The system comprises a loading section, an articulated robot, an unloading section, and an engaging member. The articulated robot, by moving a chuck 34 that grips the ring-bound booklet 1, engages the paper 4 on the chuck 34 side with the engaging member 50 while the multiple sheets of paper 4 are hanging down from the ring-shaped binder 6 by their own weight. Then, by moving the chuck 34 in a direction away from the engaging member 50 and downward, the multiple sheets of paper 4 are rotated, reversing the stacking direction of the paper 4 on the base sheet 2, and the ring-bound booklet 1 is placed on the unloading section with the paper 4 stacked on the other side 2b of the base sheet 2.
