Page turning technology is widely used in many applications, such as Automated Teller Machines (ATM) to deal with passbooks, automated machines to convert paper books to electronic books, and so on. Among them, ATM especially requires high reliability because ATM is used in unmanned operation. In this paper, a new page turning roller is developed for a high reliable page-turning process on ATM. ATM has to turn a high stiffness cover page and low stiffness inner pages of passbooks. The developed page turning roller has the ability to change the increasing rate of its pressure force during rotation. By applying the developed page turning roller, a page turning machine for ATM can stably turn cover pages and inner pages of passbooks.
