FEATURES

Semi-automatic glue application
Fastbind Optima features an automatized glue application, which ensures even and constant binding results for on-demand or medium runs of book production and allows a “stand-by” temperature selection.

Roughener - PGO
Fastbind Optima includes the exclusive “PGO” Paper Grain Opening system. This noiseless and dust-free roughening unit makes the machine suitable for handling the most difficult papers. The operator can control the number of PGO passes that need to be made to ensure a solid bind.

Easy to use
The system self adjusts automatically to different thicknesses and page formats, allowing non-stop production between different binding jobs. There are no set-up times or book format adjustments. Anyone can be making professional quality books and reports in minutes.

OPTIONAL TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES

Cover Trimmer
The optional cover trimmer is very easy to use and eliminates the need to measure and set-up a cumbersome guillotine trimmer. Slip the cover excess into the slot, rest the book block on the rail and then pull the rotary trimmer handle across the book for a perfect cover trim.

Hard Cover Toolkit
The optional hardcover toolkit consists of a hardcover nipping bar and a special paper guide. It allows you to bind  hard cover books with your Fastbind binding machine. The special shape of the bar gives professional look to the finished book.
