The article reports on a device for book block spines processing that was designed and assembled on a perfect binding machine Trendbinder. The article shows workability of designed device. The authors have developed a methodology for the experimental study of the tractive effort of chain conveyors by technological load, the wireless module for data measurement and software for its processing. Extensive coverage is given to experimental research of the tractive effort of chain conveyors during book block spine processing depending on book block velocity, type of paper from which they are made and setting angle of cylindrical milling cutter relatively to direction of book blocks movement. The authors have examined the change in the tractive effort. The article experimentally confirms that sluggishness of chain drive causes vibration of the tractive effort. This effect can be observed during free-running movement of chain with carriers of perfect binding machine as well as during technological load influence. The article describes that between research parameters the setting angle of cylindrical milling cutter has the main impact relatively on the direction of book blocks movement.

The paper reports experimental research on torques during cardboard cutting in the die-cutting press with eccentrics in the drive of the movable pressure plate. To conduct the research, an experimental bench with eccentrics in the drive of the die-cutting press is designed and manufactured. The manufactured experimental device for the research on cardboard blanks provides the possibility of getting dependencies of loadings at different parameters of the die-cutting process. The experimental approach envisages the use of the strain gauge measurement method and the wireless module for data collecting, as well as the software for its processing, for getting trustworthy results with minimum faults. The method gives an opportunity to study the torque values during the cardboard-cutting efforts on the drive shaft. The paper shows changes in the torque value on the drive shaft during the kinematic cycle with and without the use of cardboard blank. The angle of the drive shaft rotation during the cutting process was evaluated at selected values of the cardboard thickness. The relationship between the linear cutting efforts and the cardboard thickness, its fibre direction, cutting rule type and rotational speed of the drive shaft is elaborated. This kind of data is approximated by a logarithmic function (logarithmic curve), at R 2 from 0.90 to 0.98. The thickness of the cardboard significantly influences the value of the linear cutting effort at all the studied parameters.
