Staff Review

Coverbind CPB2SG Review

At first sight, its size can be intimidating but getting started with the Coverbind CPB2SG is easier than you think. With a low operating cost, this powerful perfect binding system works well for both large and small projects. It works quickly and efficiently to bind both thin and heavy volumes, resulting in a bind that is incredibly strong, straight, and of high quality. As a result, it may be a good fit for small print facilities and large print shops. This Coverbind CPB2SG can tackle practically any volume workload with a speed of up to 360 books every hour.

Features:

Unlike some other perfect binding devices, the Coverbind perfect bind system is straightforward and not intimidating. Simple LCD controls make setting your job up painless with no need for in-depth training. You’ll also find safety features installed on 4 different sensors to aid in the completion of your perfect binding. The first sensor is in the book clamp and stops the machine from starting without a book loaded. The second sensor is in the cover of the machine and prevents the loaded book from moving into the nipping table from the glue section unless you have a cover loaded. The third sensor opens the clamp back up if a hand is placed on the clamp. The final sensor makes sure that the machine will stop if the cover is raised. The Coverbind CPB2SG Perfect Binder comes with a caster-mounted stand and a safety cover that stops the machine from operating when raised. It also has a vacuum waste collection system, which allows the use of much higher-grade notching pins to ready the spine for glue. Another outstanding aspect is the extensive adhesive coverage. The glue meter roller, two spine applications rollers, and side gluing rollers work together to create the strongest bind with thorough glue coverage possible for a truly perfect binding machine.

Construction:

The Coverbind CPB2SG Perfect Binder is a sturdy binding machine that can handle various kinds of books. Keep in mind that this binding machine lacks the built-in space-saving features seen in other tabletop binders. The included stand makes it larger than tabletop alternatives, however, it is mounted onto rolling casters, so it's simple to move about and out of the way. Even so, it may not suit tiny print businesses with limited floor space.

Conclusion:

Ultimately, the Coverbind CPB2SG Perfect Binder is an excellent choice for various binding needs, from simple to complex. This binding machine's capacity to bind small, medium, and large sizes offers it the versatility that large plants and on-demand printing shops desire. Because of its size, smaller print firms may benefit from the "little brother" technology, the Coverbind CPB1 tabletop perfect binder system. In the case your print company can handle the size, I recommend this perfect binder because it has many features which make the binding process simple and painless while also being priced favorably with less robust machines on the market.

Roughing/Milling Blade Milling and 2 Heavy Duty Notching Pins Milling and 2 Heavy Duty Notching Pins Milling and 2 Heavy Duty Notching Pins Roughing/Milling Blade gives the spine more surface area for the glue to adhere on. Model CPB2SG, CPB2GP, and CPB3GCFC are equipped with Roughing/Milling Blade. This procedure makes it easier when working with coated paper and other types of paper stock that need more glue saturation.
Glue Rollers 2 Glue, 1 Metering PUR, 1 Side Glue Tank EVA 2 Glue, 1 Metering, Side Glue Tank 2 Glue, 1 Metering, Side Glue Tank Glue rollers provide a foolproof bond from the 2 Glue Rollers and 1 Metering Roller. All models have the Side Glue Tank with 2 applicator rollers. A stonger bond is made with the side glue when the cover is nipped. This creates strong adhesion of the cover to the book block on both the spine and front/back. A built in heat control ensure that the temperature is always optimal.
Vacuum Waste Removal System Yes Yes Yes Having a Vacuum Waste Removal System helps keep the machine in optimal operating performance. The system collects dust that would otherwise end up inside the machine and glue. Without the vacuum system, paper dust produced from the roughening and notching process will accumulate and will cause future issues and damaged.
Safety Hood Yes with fans to vent the PUR vapor. Yes Yes Protecting operators from accidents is the Safety Hood. This feature prevents access to the glue pots. It is only bypassed when a security key is inserted. The function is convenient when the book block height exceeds the opening of the safety cover. It also provides access in troubleshooting the machine. To make sure that no accidents happen, a clamp safety sensor runs the entire length of the clamp.
Clamp Safety Sensor Yes Yes Yes Clamp Safety Sensors run the entire length of the book clamp to restrict access during operation. This prevent accidents that happend from contact with the binding parts.
Book & Cover Sensors Yes Yes Yes The Book and Cover Sensor makes sure that outputs are always complete. The sensor alerts the operator when a book or cover is missing. The binder will not operate when one of these components is missing.
Stand Included Included Included All machines come with stand to optimize its function and productivity as it provides the perfect working height, proper balance, and stability. The stand will create a cohesive workstation as it provides space for the compressor and glue storage.
Air Compressor Yes Yes Yes The binder takes advantage of Pneumatic control. It offers convenience and speed with its auto adjust functions for book block size. Eash machine comes with Quite Noise Compressor.
Fume Extractor Yes Yes (Avaiable) Yes (Avaiable) Creates a smell and odor-free work place with the Fume Extractor. The extractor traps fumes from the glue pot and directs away from the operator. Hooking the extractor to an external vent keeps the fume out of the workplace for operator safety.
Automatic Cover Creaser No No Yes The Automatic Cover Creaser eliminates the possibility of cracking in the folded site especially when working with digitally printed media. This feature maintains the aesthetic of the print and elevates the quality of the final product. Having this built in feature eliminates the need for an additional process on a separate machine, saving you time and money.
Creasing Bar No No Yes The Creasing Bar gives operators sevaral creasing depth options. It can be rotated in four directions to select the perfect crease depth for every unique project.
Automatic Cover Feeder No No Yes Improving the workflow and operator convenience is the Automatic Cover Feeder. It utilizes embedded sensors to automatically feed the cover into position when the binder is ready. The sensors also detect double feeding and and missing covers, ensuring that every output is perfect and complete.
Main Differences PUR Glue EVA Glue EVA Glue We offer Perfect Binders that utilize EVA or PUR glue. EVA glue is reusable, dries quickly and can be used on many different paper types. The glue also has a longer self life and can be reheated. PUR has a much greater bond to the paper, about 50%. It also has a greater stability in hot or cold temperatures like some EVA glues do. It is fully resistent to print ink and coated paper stock. PUR has a very short shelf life and unused glue must be vaccuum sealed for storage. Left over glue in pot can not be reheated/reused. PUR is more flexable that EVA but takes longer to cure. Each glue has it place in making Perfect Bind Books.
