Design and development of page-turning machine using rubber roller with slide sensor

Abstract

A page-turning machine using the rubber with slide sensor is designed and developed. The turning over is discriminated from the slide by setting a threshold value of the sensor output. The setting of the threshold is examined and its effectiveness is presented. When a threshold is set as 0.8V, 93% of rates of distinction of turning over is obtained. This method can be used for a book of different quality paper, though the threshold value should be reset.
