The present invention relates to an adhesive binder used for manufacturing book cores and paperback editions. The adhesive binder has multiple machining stations, at least two transport clamps for the transport of book cores and at least one enclosed guide track, on which the transport clamps are rotated and pass through the machining stations. Each drive having an endless circulating traction unit is associated with respective transport clamps. The respective transport clamp is connected with the traction unit, where the drives are independent of each other. A machine control unit is provided for independently controlling the drives. The adhesive binder provided by the present invention is advantageous in that: the efficiency of the adhesive binder is improved through using a proper stop time in the movement section or a proper movement curve.
