Fastbind
System
- The
book block to be bound is inserted into the clamp equipped with
stops which ensure accurate positioning and keep the block well
knocked up.
- The
clamp closes precisely to the block thickness and fixes it tightly.
- The
block is rotated spine up. The patented Fastbind paper grain opening
system (PGO) breaks the paper surface and opens the paper fibre
to increase the surface covered with adhesive. The adhesive penetrates
from above and is forced into the spine of the book, directly
into the paper fibre and between fanned sheets providing strong
adhesion.
- The
book block is rotated back into the starting position. The cover
is placed and pressed strongly against the book spine from two
sides by the unique folding bar, automatically adjusting to the
book thickness. This operation both fastens the cover to the block
and presses the sheets together, making the binding stronger.
You can use a variety of materials for your covers. The cover
should be pre-creased only once, the second crease is made during
the cover-mounting process.
