Abstract

This paper describes the development of a mechatronic punch and bind office machine. Integrating smart technologies in the existing traditional business machines will ease the evolution of these systems, enabling productivity and efficiency. The development of an experimental platform that enables further advances in servitization is required. To increase the binding rate of the office document, as well as to reduce the likelihood of errors, efforts have been made to develop a measuring system that allows the document to be properly measured and specifies the appropriate binding spine at the same time. As a complement, developments have been conducted in a system that enables the verification of the inserted spine. In addition, a system for automated document binding along with an integrated platform that allows the communication between all systems is presented. In both its hardware design and its underlying sensors, the new system has several advantages, providing significant performance improvements and upgradability over existing systems. This alternative comprises a system that enables a variety of sheets of paper, plastic or other materials to be punched.

Highlights

  • Some innovations to binding machines have been made using this type of spine, such as those developed by Tomaoki Sakata and Toru Yoshie [8], Colin Knight [9], and Robert Jervis, Michael James and Robert Hadden [10]

  • These innovations referred to are solely mechanical, as they have binding malfunctions attributed to improper use, the enhanced punching and binding productivity is small, and there are no developments regarding the servitization of office equipment

  • A mechatronic system was developed that automatically to the document andsize, spine size, guaranteeing developed that automatically adaptsadapts to the document and spine guaranteeing a perfecta perfect binding

Offices have introduced many technological developments, which have had a huge effect on the work setting and productivity. Some innovations to binding machines have been made using this type of spine, such as those developed by Tomaoki Sakata and Toru Yoshie [8], Colin Knight [9], and Robert Jervis, Michael James and Robert Hadden [10] These innovations referred to are solely mechanical, as they have binding malfunctions attributed to improper use, the enhanced punching and binding productivity is small, and there are no developments regarding the servitization of office equipment. To fulfil the goals of Industry 4.0, such as improved communication, reliability and safety, the developed inventions serve as a basis for a subsequent evolution [12] In this manner, this study is intended to develop an automated prototype capable of binding documents; point out the optimal spine for use in the binding method; check whether the inserted spine for binding is suitable for binding; adjust the document height autonomously; check the sheet alignment for punching; automatically punch and bind, ensure that user-induced binding mistakes are eliminated; ensure ideal binding; and increase punching and binding productivity
