Casemaker Mephisto

The Mephisto is a Roby Junior 2 without the board feeder. With its simple operation and changeover time close to zero, the Mephisto is the ideal casemaker for short runs. The basic version consists of a vacuum worktable, which prevents the sheet from moving during the placing of boards, a manual board positioning device and an automatic turning-in and pressing unit. A backlit window enables accurate positioning of the book title along the spine.
Optional equipment includes: a gluing unit for hot and cold glue, a corner cutter, a device for automatic corner closing and the roller press function (without turning-in)

Casemaker Roby Junior 2

A compact, full-option casemaker for short to medium runs. It features a small corner cutter, a gluing device for both animal and vinyl glue, a turning-in and pressing station, a corner closing device and an automatic board feeder. 
The machine can work with all the usual types of covering materials: plain paper, laminated paper, photo paper, cloth,  leather imitation, etc. 
A vacuum table with an illuminated central window helps to accurately position the covering material even without the use of other tools.
The machine can also be used as a roller press by switching off the turning-in device. This comes useful for inside lining.
A manual board positioning device is part of the standard equipment. It comes useful for: 
  1. very short runs (no need to set up the feeder) 
  2. cases with soft spine (for subsequent rounding)  
  3. cases whose spine is less than 12 mm wide.

Semi-automatic casemaker Roby Junior 2 VAS

The Roby Junior 2 Vas is a compact semi-automatic casemaker, ideal for medium runs. It is practically a Roby Junior 2 with an extra turning-in and pressing station. That way cases can be turned in from all four sides in a single pass instead of two. This results in increased output of up to 350 cases per hour.

he Roby Junior 2 Vas is composed of:
Automatic board feeder
Ensures high productivity and perfect alignment of boards.

First turning-in unit
Works with all the usual covering materials. Turns in the two longer sides of the case. Includes a corner closing device.

Second turning-in unit
Turns in the two shorter sides of the case. This unit can also be retrofitted on a standard Roby Junior 2 at a later date.

Corner cutter
A practical solution for small quantities.
 
Vacuum worktable
Helps to align the covering material. Includes a backlit central window for accurate positioning of the book title along the book spine.

Manual board positioning device
Useful for short runs and cases with flexible spine.
