Essentials For Choosing The Right Punches And Dies

By Harriett Crosby


Large quantities of books and documents that require punching and binding are common scenario in some big businesses and commercial establishments. This requires huge investments just to procure the company's own punching machine so careful study and weighing of options are needed. Here are some helpful tips to consider when purchasing punches and dies equipment for the company.

For instance, it is highly imperative to determine the volume of binding jobs that the organization needs in order to get the right machine. The machine's punching capacity should be higher than the company's punching needs. It is not advisable to fit in the maximum capacity of the machine with every punch as this will shorten the life of the machine.

It is also advisable to consider the maximum length of punch that the machine is capable to do so. There are punching machines with fourteen inch throat that are only good for legal sizes. For those who companies with bigger documents to bind, then an open throat puncher is more suitable.

Note also that changing of dies is easier done on the sides for those punching machines with modular binding punches. In just a few minutes, the dies will be changed in and out easily every time there is a need to do so. On the other hand machines with bolts and thumbs are quite inconvenient for those companies with frequent need to change dies as these types of machines will take longer to replace dies.

There are also machines with horizontal binding orientation and there are machines with vertical orientation. The difference between the two is that the documents are placed at the front part of the machine with horizontal orientation while they are placed on top of the machine for vertical orientation. Depending on the user's preferences, there are pros and cons for each type of orientation.

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.

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.
