Leather Hole Punch Tools

Strengths / Features:

• The GBC Sickinger USP13 is designed for large bookbinding, printing and printers in the plant that need to punch million sheets per month. Are able to drill up to 120,000 sheets of paper per hour and works an average of 80,000 sheets per hour. That is double the GBC AP2 speed automatic punch. You simply upload your documents are placed in one side of the machine and in seconds will be drilled and ready to go.
• The straight paper path and the speed setting variable in the USP-13 automatic punch do much more appropriate for managing populations of thick, glossy paper and coated with other auto hits. In rejecting the speed that can help reduce feeding problems and problems when running the specialty types of paper and heavier cover. It is designed to pierce the leaves as light as 16 pounds of bonds and as heavy as 110 pounds index.
• The Sickinger USP13 has been around for years and has been used in bookbinding high volume and print shops. This is a reliable machine that you can count on to manage their drilling needs volume. Parts are readily available and are not experienced service technicians who have experience with this specific machine in the major cities of the United States.
• More fifteen different die sets available for this strike. In fact, dies are available for all major styles bond between them: Comb binding, spiral coil, double loop wire, Velobind, Proclick, 3-2-hole and the drill hole. Custom dies can also be produced to your specifications for special applications.

Weaknesses / Limitations:

• Users who are considering buying this machine should take into account their size and weight. This machine weighs about fifteen hundred pounds and has a massive footprint. It measures 38 "W x 74" x 50 "H. It is important to ensure you have the space for this machine and a way to enter his shop.
• Although the brochure GBC announces that can change in seconds dies, takes between a truth and two minutes for most experienced operators switch die sets. No special tools required is a good thing. However, the die change time in this team does not make it ideal for short run applications or for shops that are constantly changing patterns of perforation. The GBC is as much more appropriate for these types of applications.
• Like the AP-2 Ultra, the USP13 is limited in the size of documents you can drill. You can punch documents with a edge binding shorter than 6 "and subject to 13." However, the perforated edge of the document must be between 5 "and 12 "long. This means you can not punch legal size paper or sheet sizes too small. This is something to consider.
• Although this machine can punch collated documents with mixed paper types, you can still have problems with polyethylene plastic or covered. It is sometimes possible to drill this type of roofing by collecting them in the documents. However, if the elevator goes down so that the transparent cover is at the top or bottom of the pile is being drilled may cause a paper jam. Unfortunately, the best way to handle the plastic covers is that they punch with a stroke of desktop binding one or two time.
• Although USP13 is very reliable, it's a good idea to consider purchasing a maintenance contract for this machine. Much like a photocopier or a piece printing equipment of the USP-13 requires maintenance over time and there are literally hundreds of components that work together to pierce the paper. Having a qualified perform regular maintenance will help protect your investment and reduce potential downtime.
