  • Publication number: 20240092048
    Abstract: A guide position adjustment device includes upstream side guide members and downstream side guide members arranged in order starting from the upstream side in the sheet traveling direction. Each of the upstream side guide members and each of the downstream side guide members are mounted in pairs on the right and left sides of a folder gluer. The guide position adjustment device includes an outlet side guide moving mechanism, which is mounted on a folding guide device provided with a frame moving mechanism for translating, by a first actuator, a supporting frame that supports the upstream side guide members and the downstream side guide members, in the device width direction perpendicular to the sheet traveling direction. The outlet side guide moving mechanism moves, by a second actuator, an outlet side tip end regulation part of the upstream side guide members relative to the supporting frame in the device width direction.

  • Patent number: 10239275
    Abstract: A corrugated fiberboard printing device includes a protection device which regulates approaching of a corrugated fiberboard within a predetermined distance against an inkjet head, and a controller. The protection device includes multiple regulation devices which are juxtaposed in a width direction of the corrugated fiberboard, and a movement mechanism which moves each of the multiple regulation devices in the width direction. The controller includes a specific column setting unit which is set to classify a specific column, in which a printing quality is less influenced even when the specific column is regulated by the regulation device, with respect to the corrugated fiberboard in a sheet width direction based on order information, and a movement mechanism control unit which controls the operation of the movement mechanism and moves each of the regulation devices so as to regulate the corrugated fiberboard in the specific column.

  • Publication number: 20180001587
    Abstract: A slotter head, a slotter apparatus, and a box making machine form a joining piece with a high degree of accuracy by each being provided with: a cutter rest; a movable block mounted in an outer peripheral portion of the cutter rest; a first cutting blade that is fixed to the movable block along a shaft direction and along a direction inclined in a circumferential direction by a predetermined angle; a first support shaft that supports, on the cutter rest, the movable block rotatably around a first shaft center along the shaft direction; and a second support shaft that supports, on the cutter rest, the movable block rotatably around a second shaft center along the circumferential direction.
