ABSTRACT:
A microfiche mounter is fully automatic and uses preprogrammed instructions from either a computer or a filmstrip in placing the image frames of the filmstrip in predetermined destination regions of a transparent base to make or update a microfiche. The mounter receives instructions and displays information enabling an operator to select the proper base for placement on the machine. The mounter then advances a filmstrip into a transfer device, cuts off a proper length of the filmstrip, pivots the transfer device over the base, moves the base in X and Y coordinates to register the destination region of the base under the transfer device, insures accurate registry between the base and the transfer device, and presses the filmstrip from the transfer device into engagement with the base for adhesively securing the filmstrip to the base. All this is done fully automatically, and the machine also has the capacity for manual operation of each step or keyboard entry of mounting instructions. The machine also switches between different modes of operation, monitors its operations, and displays indications of events or errors occurring during operation. It is faster, more efficient, and much more accurate than previous equipment for making microfiche.
