[Center-stapled binding / Paper folding machine] Thin, low-cost geared motor
Explanation of the structure of saddle-stitched booklet creation and desktop binding tools. Consideration of geared motors for the thinning and cost reduction of printing and binding equipment.
"Center-stitch binding," which is essential for creating brochures, manuals, and booklets, involves folding sheets of paper in half and securing them at the center with staples. Center-stitched booklets are widely used as printed materials that offer good openability and save space. Desktop binding tools and automatic center-stitch binding machines that are active in offices and on-demand printing environments need to incorporate multiple mechanisms, such as paper positioning, staple crimping, and paper folding, within a limited desktop-sized housing. Our "PGM series," which uses parallel axis gears with spur gears, has achieved overwhelming "thinness" and "low cost" in geared motors. While it does not possess the strength of planetary gears, it provides significant advantages as the internal mechanism of binding equipment with thickness limitations and as a drive shaft for paper transport conveyors where multiple units are desired at a lower cost.
basic information
■ Key Points of Saddle Stitching Binding and Printing Processing Line - Compact Equipment: Portable binding machines and tools that can be installed in desktop or small office settings require a slim design that minimizes the thickness of drive components. - Cost Performance: In binding equipment equipped with multiple-axis transport rollers and mechanisms, keeping the cost of motors low directly impacts the competitiveness of the equipment itself. ■ Features of Thin Gear Motors (PGM Series) - Parallel Axis (Spur Gear) Mechanism: The flat structure, where the output shaft is arranged parallel to the motor shaft, achieves a slim design that fits neatly into the gaps of the equipment. - Unmatched Low Price Range: Provides optimal introduction costs for compact transport units focused on cost and for paper folding and transport mechanisms that want to avoid overspecification. - We conduct domestic inspections for all units, from prototypes to small lots, before delivery.
Price information
By stripping away excessive features and focusing on basic performance, we have achieved an overwhelmingly low price of "less than half" compared to conventional domestic manufacturer equivalent products (brushless motors + planetary gears). The drastic cost reduction of the motor alone dramatically lowers the manufacturing cost of the entire equipment. Prices vary depending on the combination of voltage, output, gear shape, and driver, so please request a detailed estimate. It demonstrates its maximum effectiveness when implemented in bulk for mass production machines (volume discount).
