Separating pressing force from the heating body lets booklet bonding run faster while reducing ceramic heater impact and extending service life.
A spring-backed pressing structure isolates impact from the ceramic heater, preserving bonding speed while extending heater life.
Selective heating raises adhesive toner rigidity near the heater, limiting transfer to booklet covers while preserving thermocompression bonding.
A shaped pressurization force profile helps one heating unit bond both large and small sheets evenly for more uniform booklet quality.
A slide member and spring shift the reference plate to clear stapler travel while keeping sheets aligned across different sizes.
The heating pressurization unit varies pressure by sheet size to maintain adhesive bonding across large and small booklet formats.
The fixing unit varies paper conveyance speed by basis weight to balance heat application, productivity, and toner-transfer prevention.
A linear bending mark on thick covers relieves folding stress, reducing toner peeling during center-folded booklet production.
Aligned tabs on covers and data pages form a monolithic spine structure, eliminating adhesive use and simplifying production.
Segmented discharge sections prevent mixed stacking of differently processed media, reducing sorting complexity while maintaining a compact apparatus structure.
Inclined guide surfaces and corner-forming ends enable smooth booklet insertion and precise spine corner shaping, resolving conveyance failures.
An adjustable opening mechanism aligns varying sheet thicknesses to prevent irregular surfaces and ensure smooth stacking in post-treatment devices.
Segmenting adhesive zones on the rear face prevents bulging, allowing booklets to open fully while maintaining structural integrity.
Segmented spine sheets allow independent leaf movement, progressively revealing content layers as the cover opens.
Automated image pattern detection calculates fold position deviations from reference marks, correcting paper variations without manual measurement.
An image reader detects line segment distortion on an adjustment sheet to identify the actual fold line position for precise mechanical alignment.
