Professional on-demand hard covers and cases
Fastbind Casematic a46z is intended for very
small to extra-large format hard covers: you produce cases from under A6 (5”x4”) to over 45
x 45 cm (18”x18”) under one minute with no set-up time. Make book covers, ring binders,
luxury cases, wall art or photo album covers. This is the perfect case making solution for all
your on-demand, short and medium runs finishing needs.
Easy, fast and accurate
With the ergonomic Fastbind Casematic a46z, the case making process is intuitive: place
the printed tacking sheet on the table, position the boards, cut the four corners with optional corner cutter, and fold the
sides. Thanks to the light table, the position of your cover is always precise, and the spine text
set exactly in the correct position. The patented support shelf prevents mistakes: you place
the boards accurately the first time and reduce the risk of air bubbles. Optional quick change spacers
allow you to change the width of the gap between the spine and the boards.
Smart automation
The case making process is further eased by clever automation. You can adjust the brightness
of the light and the size of the illuminated area for shorter or longer covers. The vacuum
maintains the sheet in place during positioning. Once the boards are placed, the guides are
automatically lifted, and the air table assist moving the cover around. Then, as you place
the cover in the folding unit, it will clamp the edges for you. Making a hard cover has never
been easier.
