The Coverbind 101 DFS binding machine is a semi-automatic thermal binder that creates professional-looking books in a matter of seconds – without the need for any manual input from the operator. Instead of requiring manual gluing or punching, the Coverbind 101 DFS uses adhesive-lined thermal binding covers for a neat and efficient binding experience that is well-suited for office environments. This productive binding machine can bind up to 30 books per minute and has a maximum capacity of 1/2″ per book (approximately 120 sheets).
Below is a step-by-step guide to binding books with the Coverbind 101 DFS binding machine:
- Place the inner pages of your book into the automatic cover size selector located on the top left of the machine. The selector will measure the thickness of your book and display the recommended spine width on the screen.
- Insert your pages into a thermal binding cover of the indicated size, tapping it against the table to jog the pages and align them with the spine.
- Once the green indicator light turns on, the machine is ready to bind. Insert the books into the binding channel with the spine side down. The machine will automatically begin the binding cycle and drop the books into the cooling rack as they are completed.
- After the books have been allowed to cool for at least two minutes, they can be removed from the cooling rack and used.
