The Perfect Bind

—Bob Flinn, Standard Finishing Systems

• For a floor model with runs of a few hundred to a thousand, we suggest a 500-cycle-an-hour machine. A user should look for pneumatic clamps, a jogger at the book block feeding position, a milling device with milling and notching, a hot melt tank with glue cutoff for the spine gluing, as well as a disk-side gluing device, paper chip removal, a glue fume absorber, and an automatic suction cover feeder with double in-line scoring.
