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.

For example, it is advisable to check the company's volume of binding tasks so that the machine will be able to address this need. Make sure that the punching capability of the machine is way higher than the punching requirements of the company. Avoid fitting in all the punching needs at once of the machine's maximum capacity as this will eventually shorten the machine's life cycle.

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.

Meanwhile, machines that punches in modular binding allows easy in and out interchangeability of dies at the side. With this type of machine, it will just take a few moments to change dies when needed. Other machines with screws in the thumbs and bolts will take a long time to finish changing of dies and are not convenient for companies that require frequent die changes.

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.

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.
