摘要:
A method (400) for producing books in a bookbinding system is proposed. The method (400) includes the steps of: binding (409) blocks of signatures in succession by means of at least one binding machine, associating (421-427;436-454) a transponder with at least one selected of the blocks of signatures inside each binding machine, emitting (457) an interrogation signal outside the at least one binding machine, and sensing (457-475) at least one characteristic of each selected block of signatures according to a response signal being returned by the corresponding transponder in response to the interrogation signal.
摘要:
A multi-function binding machine is proposed. The multi-function binding machine (700) comprises a binding station (135) for binding blocks of signatures (105), and a feeding station (115) for receiving signatures in succession, opening the signatures, and feeding the signatures to the binding station; in the solution according to an embodiment of the invention, the multi-function binding machine further comprises a further feeding station (715) for receiving pre-signatures in successions, folding groups of at least one pre-signature into further signatures (729), and feeding the further signatures to the binding station.
