CIM380 Casing in Machine - semi-automatic

This machine is designed to automatically apply adhesive to cover sheets, which are transported on a vacuum belt to the rigid box application robot. It features automatic inline corner taping, folding the four sides of grooved or die-cut boards to form the box. Once folded, tape is applied to all four corners simultaneously, and the box blank is transferred to the robot’s hopper. The robot then accurately places the box onto the glued sheet with a precision of ±0.1 mm.

The gluing unit includes a high-capacity hopper with a no-sheet detector, hot animal glue, precision rollers, and a circulating pump with viscosity control. After placement, the conveyor moves the box to the pressing station to ensure full contact with the base before entering the box wrapper. The wrapper then automatically takes the box and cover sheet into the forming station, wrapping the cover material around the box to produce a high-quality finished product, which exits via a short conveyor.

This machine is a fully automatic book block system which produces layflat book blocks from single sheets. It can make premium book formats not only by gluing the paper back to back but also by inserting cardboard between sheets. The station, creaser and folder are all included in this compact little machine!

This machine Is designed to press the book and form the spine once the cover has been attached to the book block. The operator removes the case and book block from the cover application machine (CIM380) and places them into the pressing area so that the spine can be formed.
