Multifunction punch apparatus

摘要

A multifunction punch apparatus, which can arbitrarily set a sheet size and a punch hole number and moreover can punch accurate punch holes with right and left margins of a sheet balanced, wherein information as to the sheet size, a punching direction, and the hole number to be punched is input from a manipulation panel (38) to a controller. A traveling of a timing belt (12) on which a head (10) is mounted is controlled by controlling a control motor disposed in a manipulation unit cover (5), thereby a movement position of the head (10) is determined. A sheet inserted between a punch guide unit (31) and a guide member (32) is punched by moving a hole punch vertically through a gear (8) and a punch drive gear (9) by driving a spline shaft (13). When lengths of the right and left margins of the sheet in which a predetermined number of holes are punched are different from each other, the length of the left margin is corrected by manipulating increase/decrease switches (44) to correct a position of a first punch hole from a left side of the sheet.
