This fully automated perfect binding system fits conveniently on a tabletop, offering automatic pneumatic clamping, nipping, and exacting glue coverage for a secure bind.
This CPB1 perfect binder system lets you bind softback books easily with a simple to use control panel that lets you customize the machine to your specific job quickly.
Start binding books on-demand, the pneumatic powered clamping mechanisms automatically adjust to your book block thickness from two sheets of paper up to 2-1/4” thick.
The CPB1 is a production powerhouse able to bind up to 360 books per hour, depending on the book specifications and operator capabilities.
In addition to doing the binding, the CPB1 can also be used to make pads. Change-over between each binding and padding is completed with just the push of a button, so there is no downtime when job requirements change.
The CPB1 has a unique roughing blade that includes a serrated edge and notching pins allowing for binding strength with maximum glue penetration.
The dual glue application rollers make sure the glue is applied to all surfaces of the spine and the metering roller smooths out the glue to the desired thickness. There is a side glue wire attached to the glue application rollers that applies a bead of adhesive on one side of the book block.
Additionally, the unique action of the nipping table pushes glue to the front side of the book block providing strong adhesion of the cover to the book block.
Both the clamp and nipping table are pneumatic and operate with the compressor that is included with the system. The nipping table has an adjustable height and dwell time of up to 3 seconds. The nipper adjustment knob allows the operator to increase or decrease the travel of the nipper to produce an exceptionally square-backed book.
There are 3 important sensors on the machine.
1. The book clamp sensor will prevent the book clamp from closing without a book block in the machine.
2. The cover sensor will prevent to book block from moving across the gluing section and into the nipping table unless a cover is in place
3. The safety touch sensor on the top of the clamp, will automatically open the clamp if a hand is on the book clamp.
The exit tray provides a staging area for cover stock and an area to stack books as they come out of the machine. An optional stand with castors is available, making it easy to move around the shop where needed or out of the way when not in use.
Accomplish swift, simple, and automated binding for your perfect bound books with the Coverbind CPB1. An ideal perfect binding solution for in-plant and on-demand print shops and binderies.

Coverbind CBP1 Expert Review
WHAT I LIKE:
With the Coverbind CBP1 perfect binding machine, you will have complete control over the bookbinding process so you can create perfectly perfect-bound books in a flash. The LCD control panel has straightforward controls that make it easy to change bookbinding settings like the cover stock, angled options, the height of the book thickness, spin positions, and more. When you load up your pages on the block, the automated clamping system will then auto-adjust to fit the size, and you know you're getting tight, clean binds every time.
Your paperback-bound books will come out with a perfectly flat spine, allowing you to display book titles and author names easily. With this perfect binding method, you’ll see how versatile it is, and how you can use it for a wide range of soft-cover books. You'll find that this gluing method is not only productive but cost-efficient as well.
THINGS TO CONSIDER:
If you have limited volume or space, you might not need the Coverbind CBP1. It's easy to move if you need to rearrange your workspace or grab the optional stand to place this table-top binder on if you don't already have a table set aside for it. If your print company demands up to 360 paperback books per hour, I recommend adding this to your shop.
I RECOMMEND THIS FOR:
For a range of binding requirements, from basic to complicated, the Coverbind CBP1 is a great option. I suggest this excellent binder for large businesses that need to fill thousands of books per day at print companies that routinely fulfill on-demand orders for novels. This excellent binder can make your binding procedure quick and simple while also being priced fairly with different machines on the market.
If you have the space and are looking for a machine with a dedicated air compressor, side gluer tank, and dust bin collector, check out the CBP1’s “older brother,” the Coverbind CPB2SG. The Coverbind CPB2SG is for those who want to skip manual cleaning thanks to the dust collector, and an additional safety guard, and who want a more professional bind thanks to the dedicated glue tank.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
The Coverbind CBP1 Table-Top perfect binding machine is a wonderful choice for you if you're an on-demand print business or facility that has to bind hundreds of books each hour. Your books are bound neatly and quickly thanks to their effective controls, saturating glue coverage, and automated clamping. Using straightforward controls and an LCD allows for quick setup and operation. Start immediately binding high-quality paperback books, novels, manuals, and more after setting up the machine per your precise task needs. Up your production output and binding efficiency with the tabletop powerhouse Coverbind CPB1.

Roughing/Milling Blade | Roughing Blade and 4 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 is 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 | 2 Glue, 1 Metering, Side Glue Tank | Glue rollers provide a foolproof bond. The CPB1 and CPB2SG all have 2 Glue Rollers and 1 Metering. Model CPB2SG have the Side Glue Tank. A stonger bond is made with the side gle 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 | No | 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 | No | 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 | 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 | 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 | Optional | Included | A stand for the CPB1 will 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 | The binder takes advantage of Pneumatic control. It offers convenience and speed with its auto adjust functions for book block size. |
Fume Extractor | Yes | Yes | Create 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 | The Automatic Cover Creaser eliminates the possibility of cracking in the folded site especially when workinth 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 | 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 | Improving the workflow and operator convenience is the Automatic Cover Feeder.
