Abstract
A stacking pressure control device for a stationary horizontal book stacking device in which books (C) fed at a constant rate along a vertical wall (2) are stacked on a stacking table (1). The control device consists of a strain gauge used as a pressure sensor (3, 6, 8) for continuously measuring the stacking pressure exerted directly on the vertical wall (2), and controlling the speed of the stacking table (1). The control device may be used in a horizontal book stacking device.
Claims6
Device for regulating the stacking pressure in a horizontal signature stacking device with arrival of signatures along a substantially stationary vertical wall, the signatures subsequently resting on a stacking table, the device comprising:
- a strain gauge acting as a pressure sensor adapted to continuously measure the stacking pressure exerted directly on the vertical wall and to transform the pressure into an electrical signal to a control means, thereby controlling the speed of the stacking table.
