SWI-520

This unit automatically inserts and closes DOUBLE-LOOP bindings off spools, in the whole range of both 3:1“ and 2:1“ pitches (from 3/16“ till 1“ Ø ).

The operator simply places the pre-punched sheets on the working table of the machine and touches the side-lay with them, thus activating the embedded micro-switch there. The auto-cycle of the machine then proceeds to the complete binding operation, bringing back the now bound sheets (booklet or calendar) towards the operator.

A foot pedal activation of the above auto-cycle is also available, to let new operators get accustomed to this swift automatic unit.

An ever available electronic key-board and single buttons with a complete manual cycle for all functions facilitate all setting operations.

The exchange of the DOUBLE-LOOP bindings on spools only takes a few minutes. Also the required closing-jaws are exchanged with a few screws and the work-table is easily set by 2-3 knobs to a new height - whenever necessary. The working width of this unit is 520mm. The maximum sheet size is 500x80mm, the minimum being 50x80mm.

Here are some of the other important features of this unit:

  • No need to hang books on the binding rings, thus speeding up production.
