Introduction
The stapling machine, a ubiquitous tool in offices and schools, is essential for binding paper documents together. Understanding how a stapling machine works involves knowing its mechanism, components, and the overall operation process, which are explained in detail in this article.
Mechanism of Stapling Machine
The stapling machine operates on a simple yet effective mechanical principle. It uses a lever and spring mechanism to drive a metal staple through paper. When the lever is pressed, it forces the staple down through a guiding channel, piercing the paper and clinching the staple's ends beneath the paper stack.
Components of Stapling Machine
Basic Components
- Base: The stable platform on which the paper rests.
- Magazine: Houses the staple strip, typically holding 50-100 staples.
- Head: Contains the driving blade which forces the staple through paper.
- Spring: Ensures the head returns to its original position after each use.
- Anvil: Bends the staple ends inward to clinch the papers.
Operation Process
The stapling process can be broken down into three primary steps:
- Loading: The staple strip is inserted into the magazine. The typical staple size is 26/6, indicating a wire thickness of 0.4 mm and a leg length of 6 mm.
- Positioning: Paper is aligned on the base and inserted under the magazine head.
- Stapling: Pressing the lever drives the staple through the paper, while the anvil bends the ends to secure the binding.
