Paper Transport - Book Gathering
When the paper enters the gathering area, a clamp on a rotating drum grips the lead
edge of the sheet.
The paper is rotated to ‘face-down’ orientation, released and knocked-up against
the endlay on the same side as the infeed. The opposite endlay has an inbuilt side-
tamper to assist with the knock-up.
In the gathering area, the paper is placed between the endlays and sidelays. The
endlays and sidelays are adjusted by the PSQ160 to the measured paper-size
entered into the touch screen. Adjustments to the sidelays and endlays are made
with stepper motors.
A stepper-motor driven active tamper gate in the front sidelay jogs the incoming
sheets into a tidy set. When the set is complete, the active tamper gate lifts to let the
set move to the staple position.
Optical sensors in the infeed, the gathering area and before the infeed drum see
when paper is present. If the time between the operation of the sensors is too long
or if a sensor remains covered, then a flow error or paper jam in the gathering area
is indicated.
The following components are located in the Gathering Area:
The active tamper gate
Side tamper motor
Sidelay axis drive motor
Sidelay axis home sensor
Endlay axis drive motor
Endlay axis home sensor
900-303 PSQ160 transport control PCB
