(54) System for manufacturing books on demand


(57) A system (22) for manufacturing books on demand, comprising a cover forming equipment (39) for forming pre-shaped covers (32) from respective cover sheets (31) and a binding machine (31) for gluing a rib of a book block (36p, 36l) with a spine of a pre-shaped cover (32), and in which the binding machine receives the pre-shaped covers from a cover input "IC" in a pre-defined pre-assembling configuration and feeding along an assembling direction, parallel to the spine. The cover forming equipment further comprises a feeding mechanism (46) for moving the cover sheets (31) along a direction of shaping (FD) transversal to the direction of the spine of the cover. A cover trimming mechanism (49) and a marking mechanism (48a, 48b) execute a trimming and markings on the cover sheets transversally to the direction of shaping, while a diverting station (99) arranges the pre-shaped cover (32) in a position associated to the pre-assembling configuration.
