Product Details
Positioning & Pressing Mechanism
With ±0.1mm precision positioning sensors and a heavy-duty pressing roller, this part ensures the book block is aligned perfectly during binding. It presses the bound album tightly to avoid page loosening, guaranteeing the quality of each layflat photo book.
Hot Melt Glue Binding Unit
The high-temperature resistant glue tank evenly melts hot melt glue, and the precision glue coating roller controls the glue amount accurately. It achieves strong adhesion without glue overflow, ensuring the binding firmness of photo albums and reducing material waste.
Touch Screen Control PLC
The touch screen displays all production parameters (speed, material thickness, binding mode) in real time. You can adjust settings with one click for different photobook sizes, and the system saves common parameters for quick call-up, improving production efficiency.
Process Works
Step 1: Prepare the Materials
Prepare the printed or photographic sheets and any cardboard inserts required by the album design. Check material thickness and dimensions before production.
Step 2: Feed and Position the Sheets
The operator feeds the sheets according to the machine's operating procedure. The positioning system helps align the materials before bonding.
Step 3: Apply Hot Melt Adhesive
The adhesive unit applies glue to the specified bonding area. Correct glue selection and application settings are important for consistent adhesion.
Step 4: Bond and Press the Book Block
The machine bonds the sheets or compatible interlayer materials and presses the assembled book block.
Step 5: Inspect the Finished Book Block
Check page alignment, adhesive coverage, bonding strength, and the layflat opening effect before proceeding to the next production stage.
