3-Hour Paper Handling Technology Introductory Seminar Announced

IR Engineer Education Institute will hold a public seminar on paper handling technology essential for copiers, printers, scanners, and ATMs. Participants will systematically learn the basic principles of separation (feeding), transport, and stacking, design concepts, and the basics of common troubles that occur in each process.

In devices that handle paper media, paper handling technology determines product reliability and performance. On the other hand, the behavior of paper, a flexible medium, is complex, and systematic knowledge is indispensable for mechanism design and control. Because this field often relies on empirical rules, there is a need to develop human resources who can approach design and evaluation based on fundamental theory.

Seminar Overview

Seminar Name: Paper Handling Technology Introductory Course (Introduction)

Date and Time: July 27, 2026 (Monday) 13:30-16:30

Format: Online via ZOOM

Fee: 29,700 yen per person (tax included)

Instructor: Keiichi Suzuki (Representative, Suzuki Technical Engineer Office)

Course Details

This seminar covers the basic processes of paper handling technology: separation (feeding), transport, and stacking. Participants will systematically learn the types and basic principles of representative mechanisms and key design points. Additionally, the seminar will organize important points such as the concept of transport force and transport resistance, the entry angle of paper media, the causes and basic countermeasures for troubles likely to occur in each process, and points of focus during evaluation.
