1. Machine Overview

The AFPS-1040PS Multifunctional Automatic Book Production Line For Staple Pin Exercise Books And Sewing Books is a highly versatile and automated production line designed for manufacturing both staple-pin exercise books and sewn books. This machine's front and rear systems are driven by high-power synchronous servo motors, enabling independent or synchronized operation for maximum efficiency. The system is controlled by an advanced motion control system and PLC, which simplifies operation and allows for quick product specification changes via a touchscreen interface without the need for manual gear adjustments. This design enhances automation, reduces production errors, and lowers overall costs by saving clients money and manpower.

2. Key Features and Functions

The AFPS-1040PS is a multi-function platform that can be configured for three distinct production modes:

·       Staple-Stitching Function

This is a complete workflow for producing staple-pin books, including:
