Abstract:
A sheet processing apparatus includes a first detecting unit including a first sensor and a second sensor arranged at a predetermined spacing from each other on a line orthogonal to a conveying path through which a sheet is conveyed, and a hole punching section provided downstream at a predetermined distance from the first detecting unit and arranged orthogonally to the conveying path of the sheet. The quantity of skew of the sheet is detected in accordance with a difference between time when a forward edge or a rear edge of the sheet passing through the conveying path passes the first sensor and time when the forward edge or rear edge passes the second sensor. Position information of the sheet with respect to the hole punching section is calculated in accordance with information of timing when the first sensor and the second sensor detect the passage of the sheet edge, and the conveying speed of the sheet.
Abstract:
In a sheet post-processing apparatus that folds a sheet bundle, a folding roller drive motor that drives folding rollers is PWM driven such that its speed is varied in each control during the period until a blade contacts the sheet bundle, during the period when the sheet bundle is conveyed to a discharge port, during discharge operation, and during return of the motor to its home position.
Abstract:
A sheet finisher of the invention includes a saddle stitch unit configured to stitch a center of a sheet bundle in which printed sheets are bundled, a fold unit configured to fold the center stitched by the saddle stitch unit and to form a fold line, and a fold reinforcing unit configured to reinforce the fold line formed by the fold unit, the fold reinforcing unit includes a placement table on which the sheet bundle transported from the fold unit is placed, and a roller unit that includes a reinforce roller and moves the reinforce roller along a direction of the fold line while pressing it to the fold line, and the placement table is provided with a groove-like edge clearance along an edge of the sheet bundle.
Abstract:
A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveying motor for conveying a sheet along a conveying path, a skew detecting unit configured to detect a quantity of skew of the conveyed sheet, a hole punching section arranged downstream from the skew detecting unit, an attitude control unit configured to carry out skew correction by changing tilt angle of the hole punching section in accordance with the quantity of skew, a detecting unit configured to detect the forward edge and the rear edge of the sheet conveyed into the hole punching section, and a control unit configured to control the conveying motor to control the conveying speed of the sheet. During a period from when the detecting unit detects the forward edge of the sheet until the detecting unit detects the rear edge, the sheet is decelerated from a first conveying speed to a second conveying speed. After the detecting unit detects the rear edge of the sheet, the conveying of the sheet is stopped and punching processing to the sheet is executed when the conveying is stopped.

Abstract:
In an apparatus that performs saddle-stitching processing of a sheet pack, a pair of folding rollers is arranged in such a manner that large-diameter parts and small-diameter parts are alternately formed and that the large-diameter parts are abutted against the small-diameter parts at a facing part symmetrically about the center of a transport passage.
Abstract:
A sheet stack loader includes a loading table to support a first folded sheet bundle, an elevator to lift the first folded sheet bundle from the loading table, and a conveyer to convey a second folded sheet bundle into a space between the loading table and the first folded sheet bundle, wherein the space is created by the elevator.
Abstract:
A decoloring apparatus includes a decoloring processing unit, a sheet conveying unit, an image reading unit arranged further on an upstream side in the sheet conveying direction than the decoloring processing unit, a thickness sensor arranged further on the upstream side in the sheet conveying direction than the decoloring processing unit, a decolorability determining unit configured to determine, on the basis of a detection result in at least one of the image readinq unit and the thickness sensor, executability of decoloring processing in the decoloring processing unit, a storing unit configured to store information indicating a number of sheets determined to be unexecutable for decoloring processing, and a display control unit configured to cause the information indicating the number of sheets determined to be unexecutable for decoloring processing to be displayed.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a color erasing apparatus includes a color erasing section which erases a color of an image formed with an erasable color material on a sheet conveyed at first speed, a reading section which reads an image on the surface of the sheet conveyed at second speed higher than the first speed, a first conveying section, and a second conveying section. The first conveying section includes a first conveying roller arranged downstream in a sheet conveying direction of the color erasing section and conveys the sheet at the first speed. The second conveying section includes a second conveying roller arranged upstream in the sheet conveying direction of the reading section and in a position where the second conveying roller nips the conveyed sheet simultaneously with the first conveying roller. The second conveying section conveys the sheet to the reading section at the second speed.
