The user-friendly and automatic DB-290 Perfect Binder brings professional perfect binding to your desktop. Producing up to 200 books per hour, the DB-290 is ideal for short-run, on-demand applications.
With the automated performance and other outstanding features typically reserved for more expensive machines, this perfect binder provides centrally-located controls for single-operator efficiency. Simply place flat sheets into the clamp where pages are gripped automatically and the binding process begins. A double pass over the roughening cutter provides superior notching for superb glue penetration. Its clamping and nipping system ensure consistent square binds.
The DB-290 Perfect Binder offers easy changeover to tape binding and two different tapes sizes are available. Other enhancements include new milling and notching blades along with a new side glue tank for improved glue application and binding. The side glue provides better adhesion and helps form the book spine. The clamp also features a newly, redesigned double rail for enhanced binding performance.
Simply place the book block into the clamp where pages are gripped automatically and the binding process is started. A double pass over the roughing and notching blades provides superior notching and roughening to ensure superb glue penetration for a perfect bind. Its clamping and nipping system also ensures consistent square book spines.
Innovative features of the DB-290 include a dust extractor as well as roughing blades which provide a more durable bind. A side glue tank also applies glue onto the spine ensuring better adhesion for a professionally finished book. In addition, the DB-290 has tape binding capabilities and with a quick push of a button, can convert to a padding function where only the precise amount of glue is added to complete perfectly bound note pads.
For added convenience and efficiency, the DB-290 features a cover detection mechanism at the nipping station that ensures the clamp will not travel back to the nipping position until the cover stock is in position. Optimum operator convenience is further ensured by the ability to set book thicknesses accordingly and by a stand-by mode that allows periodic interruptions in production while minimizing glue deterioration. A safety cover on the roughing and notching blade ensures operator safety.
