Automatic description (AI-Generated)

This listing features a Yoshino WB-18 binding machine combined with an Itoh gathering unit, designed primarily for school textbook production with wire side pinning. The system includes an 18-clamp perfecting binding line from Yoshino, model WB-18, and a 9-station arm-type gathering machine manufactured by Itoh Kikai. The equipment was produced in 1989, integrating components from both manufacturers to form a cohesive binding line. Additionally, the line includes an Itotec three-side trimmer for finishing, delivered in the same year.

The machine accommodates books with a maximum size of 148mm by 380mm and a minimum size of 115mm by 280mm. It can handle book thicknesses ranging from 2mm to 40mm, providing versatility for various textbook dimensions. The binding line connects the gathering and binding machines and includes a stacker for efficient handling of finished products.

The equipment is installed in an industrial workshop environment. The machine is substantial in size, featuring multiple numbered stations, indicating a complex multi-step binding process. It rests on a wooden bench-like base, with various tools and boxes stored nearby, suggesting it has been actively used. A monitor screen is mounted above the machine near station 6, likely for operational control or monitoring.

Visual inspection reveals the machine shows signs of wear and accumulated dust, consistent with regular use, but no obvious structural damage is visible. The side view exposes mechanical and electrical components, including pipes, cables, control elements, and various mechanical linkages such as springs and gears. Two large beige rollers within the machine show residue and wear, indicating active operation history.

This machinery is suitable for buyers seeking a comprehensive textbook binding line with gathering, binding, and trimming capabilities in one integrated setup. Prospective purchasers should consider the used condition and ensure compatibility with their production requirements.
