This paper presents the detailed of development and performance evaluation of an
improved automated page turning device. The device is capable of turning the pages of a book in a
forward or backward direction for the physically challenged who has limited use of their hands and
the music players during rehearsals or live performance. The long term goal of this work is to
develop an electromechanical page turner with an advance design that is superior in several respects,
including reliability, portability, ease of use and affordable cost that would address design flaws
prevalent in the existing patents. The report covers the design analysis of component parts of the
machine which was done using various design equations and detailed drawings. The design results
were used to select materials for various components. The machine performance was evaluated
using adhesive gum on an A4 paper of different weight. The results show that the average response
time of turning a page was 4 seconds and the machine developed achieved 90% success rate of
turning pages at 15 pages/min.
