Select if you want the scoring and side gluing end stops to calibrate automatically
(recommended for producing single copies). If you whish to bind larger series of the same
format, it is recommended to run the machine in manu mode. Set the according side gluing
and scoring value names. When running in auto mode, the cover is loaded on the nipping
station once the side gluing and scoring end stops moved to the appropriate position.
4.6. Setting the cover feeder
Position the cover stock against the cover end stop finger once it moved to the
appropriate position. Make sure the rear side of the cover stock is properly positioned against
the cover stock end stops in front of the blower. (see following page) Position the
loadstones and the side guides against the cover stock to ensure the covers are
accurately transferred. Adjust the position of the suckers to the width of the cover stock.
(eventually enable 3 or 5 suckers by turning the according switch see picture on following
page) Never position the suckers in front of the cover forwarding wheels though, as
this would obstruct the movement of the cover forwarding bar.
The cover end stop finger must form an angle of 90 towards the cover stock end
stops. Ensure this is the case by transferring a cover on the nipping station: Switch on the
cover feeder by selecting in the main menu then activate twice the key. The scoring
lines must run parallel to the the border of the cover. If they dont fine tune the position of the
cover stack by turning the setscrews. (see on following picture)

screen. If the front side gluing block applies a glue layer of approximately 0.3 mm thickness,
the end stops are positioned correctly. If the glue layer is too thin, the set side gluing value
name needs to be increased. If, on the other hand, there is glue on the spine but the book block
is compressed and the front sheet is crumpled, the set side gluing value name must be
decreased.
11. Inertia compensation
A recap of these parameters is featured with every machine. By compensating the inertia, the
binder displaces its braking ramp by the set value. This allows the binder to calibrate as
closely as possible to the set end stop position. The inertia compensation is only required for
the nipping and feeder end stops. The side gluing and scoring end stops are driven by
brushless motors which operate with a precision to 1/100
th
of a mm.

If for example the target position of the nipping end stop is 210 mm and the according value
name shown on the screen is of 210.3 mm, the inertia must be corrected by 0.3mm (The value
name to be set is 210.3 0,3= 210 mm) Check the settings are correct and fine tune if
necessary.
11.1. Clamp inertia
The clamp transfer inertia parameters vary according to the set clamp speed. These
parameters can be set to ensure the clamp always stops at the correct position when reaching
the nipping station. (The clamp inertia parameters can be set for low and medium clamp speed
only, the high clamp speed being the original factory setting.)

11.2 Compensating the glue application inertia
The distance photocell to nozzle and the glue application inertia values vary according to the
set clamp speed. In order to achieve an accurate glue cut off at the end of the spine, the glue is
sucked back into the nozzle once the end of the bypassing book block approaches. The timing
at which the glue suction shall occur can be adjusted. (=Glue Application Inertia)
The exact distance between the photocell and the nozzle is being determined through
approximation. In a first place, set the glue stop to zero (see chapter 4.15), then measure
the distance between the photocell and the nozzle. Set a value name which is actually
bigger than the distance you actually determined. (for instance distance photocell to nozzle +
20 mm)
Prepare several bookblocks with identical spine length. Set a value name in the glue
application length menu box which is inferior to the actual spine length. (for instance
bookspine length 40 mm). This ensures the glue is only being applied on the spine. (see
also chapter 4.15)

Bind several blocks and progressively reduce the photocell to nozzle distance value name
until the glue application starts exactly on the top edge of the bookspine. Repeat the operation
with the various clamp speeds. Measure the glue application length on the spine and compare
with the value name shown on the screen. (see chapter 4.15) The difference between the
determined values corresponds to the glue application inertia. Repeat the procedure with the
various clamp speeds and enter the determined value names as shown on the following
