Some Suggestions On Buying 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.

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.

The machine's maximum punch length should also be taken into consideration when getting one. For companies with punching needs only for legal size documents, then it is best to get a machine with throat size of fourteen inches. Meanwhile, companies with mostly large size documents to be punched, it is more feasible to go for the puncher with open throat.

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.

In addition, it is also imperative to check the machine's punching cycle prior to actual purchase of the product. It may consume a few seconds to punch documents using machines with slow cycle while it will take quicker time using bigger machines with faster cycle due to the uninterrupted cycle motors of such machines. Given such, bigger machines with faster cycle can finish specific tasks in a shorter time and thereby significantly improving the productivity of the company's punching and binding requirements.

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.
