ST60C-A3 Smiley Automatic Side & Spine Glue Book Binding Machine

A heavy-duty automatic book binding machine designed for side and spine glue binding of A3-size books. It combines automatic operation, a 7-inch touch screen, three glue rollers and adjustable spine shaping to produce professional-quality books quickly.

It supports A3-format books, spine/length range listed as 0.1–425 mm, and binding thickness from 0 to 60 mm.

Typical production speed is 250–400 books per hour, depending on book thickness, operator workflow and settings.

Side and spine glue binding with three-side glue capability. The machine can create both round and square spines (adjustable) suitable for notebooks, journals and similar softcover products.

It features a 7-inch color touchscreen for program selection and parameter adjustment, enabling easy automatic operation.

Dimensions: 167 × 80 × 113 cm (L × W × H). Weight: 260 kg. Power requirement: 220 V (confirm local electrical compatibility before installation).

The machine includes 0.5 kg of main glue. Additional consumables typically include replacement glue, cover materials and spare cutter/roller parts. Confirm recommended glue types and accessory kits with the supplier.

The unit includes a 20‑tooth cutter (referred to as 'solar cutter' in the spec). Replacement frequency depends on usage and material; inspect regularly and replace when cutting performance degrades. Ask your supplier for replacement part numbers.

This machine is designed for hot-melt glue (perfect/softcover) binding and three-side glue applications. Traditional case (hardcover) binding typically requires additional equipment and processes; consult your supplier if you need case binding solutions.

Regular cleaning of glue rollers, timely removal of dried adhesive, inspection and replacement of cutter teeth, checking alignment and sensors, and following the supplier's maintenance schedule. Always power off and isolate the machine before maintenance.

Follow standard machine-safety practices: keep hands/loose clothing clear of moving parts, use PPE as appropriate, disconnect power before maintenance, and follow lockout/tagout and emergency procedures. Review the operator manual provided by the supplier.

Allow space for the machine footprint (167 × 80 cm) plus clearance for operator access and material handling. The machine weighs 260 kg, so a sturdy floor and appropriate material-handling equipment (forklift/dolly) are recommended. A stable 220 V electrical supply is required.

Warranty terms, training and after-sales service vary by vendor and region. Contact the seller or manufacturer for details on warranty coverage, available training (on-site or remote) and local service/parts support.

Common causes include incorrect glue temperature/viscosity, dirty or worn glue rollers, improper paper or cover alignment, and dull cutter teeth. Clean rollers, verify glue type and temperature, check machine settings on the touchscreen, and contact supplier support if issues persist.

Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributor with your location, required configuration and expected production volume. They can provide pricing, lead times, shipping options and optional accessory bundles.
