5. Description of the units of the machine
The Perfect Binder 420 can be separated by units to ease the understanding and
sevicing of the machine.
The units are the following:
5. 1. Frame of the machine
5. 2. Starting steel plate unit
There is a jogger motor in this unit, this
helps the accurate and quick jogging for
the binding. The up –down moving of
the starting steel plate determines the
level of the spine of the book in
proportion to the milling disk. This
attribute allows the possibility of
adjustment of the milling height. This
height can be 0 –3 mm. Just slitting can
happen at 0 –1 mm height, milling and
slitting take place at 1 –3 mm height as
well. We can reach this function in the
SETUP menu. You can find the description of the adjustment in the 8. 4 SETUP
screen at the point of 13. Value of milling height.
5. 3. Carriage clamp (vice)
This unit holds the document during the
binding process. The carriage clamp is
moving in several directions.
Opening –closing of the clamp to hold
the document and to measure the
thickness of the book. With the help of
this function can be adjusted
automatically the side gluing wheels and
the scoring wheels. The maximum
thickness of the book can be hold is 50
mm. The up –down moving of the
carriage clamp is relevant because of
several reasons, since we can adjust the
thickness of the cover page by this
function of the carriage clamp. You can

20
find this in the 8. 4. SETUP screen at the point of 14. Value of the thickness of the
cover sheet.
The carriage clamp is at the upper position basicly. It goes from the starting steel
plate up to the binding unit during the binding period. It goes down here, and
presses the spine of the book to the cover sheet.
The closing of carriage is pneumatic to speed up the binding
cycle, therefore the opening distance needs tobe adjusted
depending to the book thickness to be bound. We put a
numerical counter on the unit. For example in case of 20 mm
book, the value of the counter shoud be adjusted to approx. 25,0 to be able to put
the book into the clamp freely.
Do not put your hand in the way of the carriage clamp. It can
cause severe personal injury! Be sure that nothing blocks the moving of the carriage
clamp, before starting the binding.
The machine must always be stopped with the emergency stop
button.
5. 4. Milling unit
This unit is responsible for the working of the spine of the
book, which can happen with slitting and milling. At the
installation the rotation of the milling unit must be
checked. Never mill a book already bound, this leads to
the immediate failure of the milling unit.
On the Perfect Binder 420 it is possible to
tilt one side of milling station to be able to
bind sewed books with the machine. There
is a lever inside the machine and by
turning it the left side of the milling station moves down. To reach this
lever the operator must open the right upper cover of the machine.
To be able to turn the lever first the copper fixing screw must be
loosened and then the lever can be turned to the right. Then the
copper screw must be fastened. The milling height must be set to 0,0 value.
