Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform works up to the packing of printed sheets efficiently without error by automatically collating the printed sheets, removing rejects and packing printed collated sheets while sensing sorts and supply conditions of the printed sheets supplied to a conveyer. CONSTITUTION:Printed sheets are supplied from each of supply stations 1b's in accordance with the movement of conveyers 1a-3a to form a group of printed sheets 60a of a specified combination. In supplying the printed sheets to the conveyer 1a, a control device 4 verifies sorts and supply conditions of the printed sheets by means of supply sensor signals so that, in case entry of foreign matters or incorrect supply is sensed, such a group of printed sheets 60b is removed by moving a discharge gate downward and put into a reject tray 22. On the other hand, a correctly supplied group of printed sheets 60a is packed at a packing station 3b, and a packed, printed group of sheets is accommodated into a finish tray 31. Thus, works from collating to packing can be automated.

<Effects of the Invention> As is clear from the description of the embodiment of the upper body, the system of the present invention sequentially arranges a plurality of supply stations, removal stations, and packaging stations on a conveyor. While detecting the type and supply status of the printed matter being supplied to the conveyor, it automatically collates the printed matter, eliminates defective products, and packages the group of collated printed matter. Therefore, according to the present invention, by simply supplying predetermined printed matter to each supply station, operations from collation to packaging can be performed efficiently without mistakes such as missing pages, inserting two sheets, or collating foreign objects. It has the advantage of being able to
