Dissertation note: College of Industrial Technology .-- Bachelor of Technology major in Print Media Technology: Technological University of the Philippines, 2023. Summary: This project entitled Development of Desktop Semi-Automatic Paper Cutter for Bookbinding was conceptualized and developed to enhance cutting accuracy, efficiency, and safety in the bookbinding process. The device is electronically operated with cutting mechanism by a hydraulic motor, capable of accurately trimming paper stacks with minimal human intervention. The clamp and stopper of the machine are manually operated while the cutter is operated with the use of push button. The safety curtain sensor can be controlled with rocket switch. The overall machine dimension is 690 mm in height, 815 mm in length and 930 mm in width and each assembly is made of tubular, polycarbonate, angular aluminum and aluminum sheet. To achieve the desired functionality, the system is equipped with sensors and actuators to detect and adjust for paper thickness variations. Additional, safety features such as safety light curtain sensor and blade guards will be implemented to protect operators from potential hazards. The machine shows a test result of capable cutting 140 sheets of 70 gsm of bond paper, 40 sheets of vellum board and 6 sheets of chipboard with the minimum of 1 sheet bond paper, vellum, and chipboard. Thirty evaluators composed of print media students, faculty, professionals, and student of the College of Industrial Technology (CIT) evaluates the capabilities of the performance of the prototype using the prescribed evaluation instrument. It has an overall mean rating of 5.42 which has an equivalent descriptive rating of “Very Acceptable”. The machine earned 4.50 with a descriptive rating of “Highly Acceptable in terms of functionality, while the lowest earned a descriptive rating of “Very Acceptable” at the rate of 4.37 in terms of machine safety. In conclusions the machines show its effectiveness, safety and capability to cut a paper to be use in the process of bookbinding.

This project entitled Development of Desktop Semi-Automatic Paper Cutter for Bookbinding was
conceptualized and developed to enhance cutting accuracy, efficiency, and safety in the
bookbinding process. The device is electronically operated with cutting mechanism by a
hydraulic motor, capable of accurately trimming paper stacks with minimal human
intervention. The clamp and stopper of the machine are manually operated while the cutter
is operated with the use of push button. The safety curtain sensor can be controlled with
rocket switch. The overall machine dimension is 690 mm in height, 815 mm in length and
930 mm in width and each assembly is made of tubular, polycarbonate, angular aluminum
and aluminum sheet. To achieve the desired functionality, the system is equipped with
sensors and actuators to detect and adjust for paper thickness variations. Additional, safety
features such as safety light curtain sensor and blade guards will be implemented to protect
operators from potential hazards. The machine shows a test result of capable cutting 140
sheets of 70 gsm of bond paper, 40 sheets of vellum board and 6 sheets of chipboard with
the minimum of 1 sheet bond paper, vellum, and chipboard. Thirty evaluators composed
of print media students, faculty, professionals, and student of the College of Industrial
Technology (CIT) evaluates the capabilities of the performance of the prototype using the
prescribed evaluation instrument. It has an overall mean rating of 5.42 which has an
equivalent descriptive rating of “Very Acceptable”. The machine earned 4.50 with a
descriptive rating of “Highly Acceptable in terms of functionality, while the lowest earned
a descriptive rating of “Very Acceptable” at the rate of 4.37 in terms of machine safety. In
conclusions the machines show its effectiveness, safety and capability to cut a paper to be
use in the process of bookbinding.
