Essentials For Choosing The Right Punches And Dies

By Harriett Crosby


Business and large entities that require binding of voluminous documents and books require applications that could meet this need. However, getting the right equipment is not at all easy to determine and discern and this huge investment requires careful planning and consideration of various factors. There are several essentials for choosing the right punches and dies that should be considered when getting 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.

Depending on the kind of choice one settles on, modular binding machines can have either horizontal or vertical mechanisms. For horizontal orientation machines, the documents need to be inserted at the front portion of the machine while machines with vertical orientation, the documents need to be inserted on top of the machine. Both orientations have their benefits and disadvantages depending on the user's inclinations.

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.

After thorough research and careful considerations of the above-mentioned tips, it is also imperative to search the internet for manufacturers that carry the specifications needed by the company. Always check and compare the warranties and prices that the manufacturers offer prior to actual sales transactions. Conduct also a background research on the reputation of the chosen manufacturer to guarantee that the company's punching and binding needs are meet to the fullest.

When all possible options have been carefully considered and thorough researches have been conducted, its time to make the actual purchase of the punches and dies machine. Go for the best machine available based on the company's need and go ahead to quicker and easier punching activities. Make way for stress-free and prolific binding and punching production.
