GC-480 PRO 4 was developed by us on the basis of many years of experience in implementing similar devices from foreign suppliers in Polish printing houses and bindery. Our goal was to create a device to fill the niche between more automated devices and cheap devices of low quality and low flexibility in terms of possible materials. How machine works: The operator manually feeds the cover to the gluing machine where the glue is automatically applied. The cover sheet smeared with glue is placed by operator it on the table, then manually adds grey boards and a spine board. The operator presses the pedal and case is moved into turning in module. First section closes 2 edges, next corners are closed. Case drops into motorized conveyor belt that pushes it into second turning in section closing next 2 edges. Covers that leave the machine are immediately usable. During the turning in operation, the cover is pressed through a system of guide rollers removing the air. That is all.
GC-480 PRO 4 is a casemaker dedicated to produce hard cover cases. The machine closes all 4 case sides and corners in one pass thanks to two turning in modules. The air is all pressed out during the process. Casemaking table allows you to work on a variety of materials with different properties. It has centre LED backlight for positioning and motorized conveyor belt with suction that moves in and out the case. The turning in module does not require an air supply and works mechanically, very quietly in comparison to other devices on the market.
The performance is up to 240 - 300 book covers / hour with 1-man operation. Most settings are made automatically on the touch screen. The conversion takes only a few minutes. The GRAFCUT GC-480 PRO 4 can be used to laminate heavy-weight sheets or to display calendars or filing cabinets.
The glue application unit is used to cover flat surfaces such as paper, leather, PVC with a thin layer of glue. The machien is able to use hot glues, which allows the use of organic adhesives of animal origin, eliminating the risk of cover waving due to the large amount of water in the glue – not requiring a long pressing time of the finished cover, reducing the time needed to clean the machine to an absolute minimum. The offered machine is a simple control, large and durable rollers made of stainless steel, standard equipped with preheating to prevent water condensation on the sheet and water supply from the tank activated by pressing a button. All this makes the work as easy as possible and eliminates many potential problems occurring when operating similar devices.

It is suitable, among other things, for the production of hardcover books, photo book covers, custom book binders, digital print books, CD/DVD boxes, puzzles, binders, video clips, board games for social games and panels in various editions and sizes. Can add up to 6 items (available as standard with 3).
Wide and comfortable positioning table. Casemaking table allows you to work on a variety of materials with different properties. Contrary to many other solutions available on the market, the section of automatic cover turning in and pressing without complicated settings will handle cardboard in the full range of thicknesses indicated in the specification. The module used does not require an air connection and works very quietly in relation to other devices.
Suitable garments can be: digitally printed sheets, laminated media, textiles, PVC, polyurethane, etc ..
Casemaker features: Colour touch screen for settings and diagnostics; Motorized rollers for edge turning in and pressing the case, does not require any compressor. Silent operation.
Motorized, vacuum table (pump included) for moving the case in and out. Possibility to do pressing only or turning in and pressing. LED cover central backlight from bottom. Board positioner operated by hand. Foot pedal for board stoppers. Top shelf for boards and covers.
The installation of reliable components is the basis of any quality machine, so the manufacturer has built into GRAFCUT GC-480 PRO stable electronics, electrical components and mechanical parts. All this is done to ensure long and busy use.
