intro
Riding nails usually refer to "wire flat nails", and the use of pre-made staples, in the production process of the machine from the rolled metal wire cut a section, nail it into the paper, and on the other side of the paper to bend the wire fixed.
Process characteristics
The text part of the book is not bound in advance, but is matched with the cover and then the whole book is bound together and cut together. The finished product of the book is mounted with horse nails, and the cover cover and the bottom cover part are exactly the same size and neat as the paper page of the book, while the spine is narrow and circular, and the iron wire used in the book is obviously exposed, so the text cannot be printed.
Merits and demerits
The binding cycle of riding nails is short and the cost is low, but the firmness of the binding is poor, and the wire used is difficult to penetrate the thicker paper pages. Therefore, books with pages of more than 32 pages (64 pages) are not suitable for riding nails. Note: The P number of the source file must be a multiple of 4, otherwise there will be white space in the text.
Binding process
The first page is placed in the front of the binding machine, the first to fall on the chain; The others were stacked on top of it in turn, and the cover fell on top of it last, and then a nail was hammered; Then send to the end of the binding machine cutter part, the book will be cut into three sides into a book, with the conveyor belt sent out the binding machine tail, packaging delivery.
peculiarity
Because of the thickness of the finished book, when the final cutting and trimming of this side of the page (that is, the opening), because the two sides of the saddle are close together, flat press the cutting edge, the outer page and the middle page are the same size, but because the middle page is pushed outward by half the thickness of the book, and more trimming and cutting off. When measuring the size around, you will find that it is smaller than the cover. With this feature, it should be noted when making a black and white draft.
