Fastbind Casematic a46 Smart Workstation is the first stand-alone Fastbind case maker.
It is intended for very small to extra-large format hard covers: you produce cases from under A6 to over 45x 45cm (18”x18”) under one minute with no set-up time.
Make book covers, ring binders,
luxury cases, wall art or photo album covers.
This is the perfect case making solution for all your on-demand, short and medium runs finishing needs.
With the ergonomic Fastbind Casematic a46 Smart Workstation, the case making process is intuitive: place the printed tacking sheet on the table, position the boards, cut the four corners, and fold the sides.
Thanks to the light table, the position of your cover is always precise, and the spine text set exactly in the correct position.
The patented support shelf prevents mistakes: you place the boards accurately the first time and reduce the risk of air bubbles.
Quick change spacers allow you to change the width of the gap between the spine and the boards.
The case making process is further eased by clever automation.
You can adjust the brightness of the light and the size of the illuminated area for shorter or longer covers.
The vacuum,maintains the sheet in place during positioning. Once the boards are placed, the guides are automatically lifted, and the air table assist moving the cover around.
Then, as you place the cover in the folding unit, it will clamp the edges for you. Making a hard cover has never been easier.
Fastbind Casematic a46 Smart Workstation is a fully equipped workstation, with spine side and back guides, spacers and corner cutter.
You organize your work efficiently as the multi-purpose stand comes with shelves and two small sliding side tables.
You can use the top and bottom shelves to store supplies.
The side tables can support small additional devices such as a gluing unit, a small guillotine, a small laminator, or a Fastbind Presso.
You can also add a FotoMount mounting wall on top of the table to produce lay-flat photo books.
The stand is built on wheels, so you can move your unit where you most need it.
You can also move the top shelf front or back depending on the operator’s preferences.
Fastbind Casematic a46a is flexible and will adjust to your own needs.

GC-480 PRO is a semiautomatic machine that allows the production of hard covers, photoalbums or parts for rigid boxes. The machine consist of professional hot & cold gluing machine with big diameter full stainless steel rollers, vacuum table with backlight, positioning device for multi-piece cases and semi-auto turning-in mechanism with pressing rollers. It is designed as entry level machine for small and medium runs that can apply glue on flat surfaces like paper, eco leather, pvc.

PRO casemakers are controlled by PLC modules and touch screen panels that allow to program most of the settings as well as diagnostics mode.

The glue application unit is used to cover flat surfaces such as paper, leather, PVC with a thin layer of glue. The machine is able to use hot glues, which allows the use of organic adhesives of animal origin, eliminating the risk of cover waving due to the large amount of water in the glue – not requiring a long pressing time of the finished cover, reducing the time needed to clean the machine to an absolute minimum. The offered machine is a simple control, large and durable rollers made of stainless steel, standard equipped with preheating to prevent water condensation on the sheet and water supply from the tank activated by pressing a button. All this makes the work as easy as possible and eliminates many potential problems occurring when operating similar devices.

Casemaking table allows you to work on a variety of materials with different properties. Contrary to many other solutions available on the market, the section of automatic cover turning in and pressing without complicated settings will handle cardboard in the full range of thicknesses indicated in the specification. The module used does not require an air connection and works very quietly in relation to other devices.

Gluing unit features:

can be used with cold glue or/and hot glue (recommended extra glue tank if using both, machines comes with one tank)
2 stainless steel, big diameter rollers (acid resistant) for better glue application
Electric heater, metal tray with glue disposed into water tank heated by the heater.
Rollers speed fluent adjustment from touch panel
Preheating bar before metal rollers (prevents water collection on table) in standard
Water tank with pump (adding water by pressing button on panel)
In standard version made for application of glue for material from 80 gsm to 250 gsm (with optional rigid board module up to 5mm material thickness)
Cleaning time after job about 5 minutes
Casemaker features:

Colour touch screen for settings and diagnostics
Motorized rollers for edge turning in and pressing the case, does not require any compressor. Silent operation.

Vacuum table (vacuum pump build-in)
LED cover central backlight on the table
Board positioner operated by hand
Foot pedal for board stoppers
Set of guides and magnets for cover positioning
Shelf for boards and covers

GC-480 PRO 4 is a casemaker dedicated to produce hard cover cases. The machine closes all 4 case sides and corners in one pass thanks to two turning in modules. The air is all pressed out during the process.

The glue application unit is used to cover flat surfaces such as paper, leather, PVC with a thin layer of glue. The machine is able to use hot glues, which allows the use of organic adhesives of animal origin, eliminating the risk of cover waving due to the large amount of water in the glue – not requiring a long pressing time of the finished cover, reducing the time needed to clean the machine to an absolute minimum. The offered machine is a simple control, large and durable rollers made of stainless steel, standard equipped with preheating to prevent water condensation on the sheet and water supply from the tank activated by pressing a button. All this makes the work as easy as possible and eliminates many potential problems occurring when operating similar devices.

Casemaking table allows you to work on a variety of materials with different properties. It has centre LED backlight for positioning and motorized conveyor belt with suction that moves in and out the case. The turning in module does not require an air supply and works mechanically, very quietly in comparison to other devices on the market.
