1. A machine for producing adhesively bonded printed products, comprising a book block, the machine consisting essentially of:
a circulating clamp chain equipped with binder clamps spaced apart from one another, each of the binder clamps being operatively connected to a clamp opening system,
wherein the clamp opening system comprises aids comprising a movable aid internal to a binder clamp, of the binder clamps, and an aid external to the binder clamp,
wherein the aids are operatively connected to one another,
wherein the aids are configured to open clamping jaws belonging to the binder clamp,
wherein at a loading location for the book block, the aid external to the binder clamp is operable by a drive to execute a drive-related pressing operation on the movable aid internal to the binder clamp,
wherein the moveable aid internal to the binder clamp is configured to achieve a prespecified opening of the clamping jaws belonging to the binder clamp depending on a thickness of the book block to be received in a particular cycle that is running such that an individual opening of the clamping jaws is configured to be adaptable from cycle to cycle in accordance with the prespecified opening provided for the corresponding cycle in such a way that continuous, and without interruption or blank cycles, book blocks with differing thicknesses and formats are capable of being fed to the binder clamp at the loading location, and
wherein a recoil force is configured to be established with the drive-related pressing operation, which is configured to be converted as a pressing force onto the received book block in the particular cycle that is running.
