Bindery Innovations At PRINT 09
Akiles had a number of punches and coil inserters on display. Sales Manager Luis Hsu said the new Crimp@Coil unit was drawing a lot of interest. The double-sided electric coil crimper works on a range of coil sizes (6-50mm). A patented coil guide ensures a perfect crimp, without the hassle of switching crimper heads. Comb binders like the Alpha–Bind-CE were also popular, Hsu said. This electric comb system punches up to 20 sheets and has a built-in comb opener and a single punch width of 12˝.
