Essentials For Choosing The Right Punches And Dies

By Harriett Crosby


There are companies and business establishments that require large volumes of books and documents to be punched and bounded. This requires for careful preparation and thorough research to procure the correct machine that will suit the needs and specifications of the company. Buying punches and dies is not very easy so here are some suggestions to be considered when buying such equipment.

First of all, there is a need to check the volume of documents that the company normally needs to be processed in order the match the need with the appropriate machine. As a matter of fact, the company's volume of tasks to be done should be lower than the punching capacity of the machine to be procured. This is because the machine's maximum punching capacity should not be fitted all at once per lift to make the machine function properly even after many years down the road.

Take note also of the maximum punch length of the machine when considering buying one for the company. If the company has mostly legal size documents for binding, it is recommended to go for the fourteen inch throat punching machine. On the other hand, if the company has mostly larger documents, then it would be better to purchase the puncher with open throat instead.

The dies at the machine's side portion should also be easily changed in and one every time there is a need to do so. Modular binding machines allow quick changes of dies thereby saving time and effort in the changing process. Meanwhile, there are machines that need longer time just to change their dies due to the screws on the bolts and thumbs.

There are also binding machines with horizontal orientation while other machines have vertical orientation. Documents will be places at the front part of the horizontal machines while these are positioned on top of the vertical machines. Depending on the user's preferences, there are advantages and disadvantages for both machine mechanisms.

Before finally shelling out money to actually purchase the equipment, check also on the machine's punching cycle. A slow cycle machine will consume a few seconds in the punching process while bigger machines with incessant cycle motors have quicker punching cycles. The latter can finish more punching tasks at a faster rate thereby greatly increasing the punching tasks' productivity.

With these considerations in mind, check the internet for manufacturers that provide such specifications as the company need. Be sure to compare prices and warranties and weigh the options well before actually shelling money to purchase the material. Make also a background check of the manufacturer's reputation to ensure that they provide only the best equipment that is most suitable for the company's need and buying power.

After all the necessary research and careful considerations of the various options available on hand, then go ahead and procure the punches and dies machine. Get the best punching machine for your company and make those large binding needs easier and faster. Hurray towards many more worry-free and productive punching and binding jobs for the company.
