Some light hints that may point you in the right direction:

Hint 1

The assembly is a part of a larger machine.

Hint 2

Several assemblies are meant to move side by side in unison.

Hint 3

The square-ish shaped piece is plastic that will wear down and be replaced.

Is it a machine for folding envelopes or cardboard boxes?

Related to envelopes, but not for folding.
