Tips For Purchasing 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.

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 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.

Meanwhile, it is also advisable to consider the punching cycle of the machine before actually purchasing the material itself. There are machines with slow cycle and may take a few seconds before actually punching while there are bigger machines with faster cycles courtesy of their continuous cycle motors. Machines with faster punching cycle can greatly enhance the productivity of the punching tasks at hand as this can accomplish more punching and binding tasks at a relatively shorter period of time.

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.
