If your print shop has already invested into automatic punching, and you are ready to invest in automatic binding, then consider the Koillmatic by James Burn. This heavy duty coil inserting and crimping machine packs a powerful punch, but is compact and lightweight enough to sit on a worktable, leaving your valuable floor space clear. Designed specially for the print-on-demand market, the Koilmatic will produce perfectly bound and finished coil books quickly, and with little effort. It works with spiral binding coils from 8mm up to 20mm, covering the most popular document sizes up to 5/8" thick. It also works with both 8 ½" and 11" binding edges, so you can meet the needs of most customers on the market.
With the James Burn Koilmatic automatic coil finishing machine, all your operator has to do is set the machine up for the size of book they are doing, place the document into the machine, and press the foot pedal. The Koilmatic will automatically insert the coils through the pre-punched holes, as well as cut and crimp the coils to the optimum length for your book. Setup of this machine is simple, and requires no tools or special training or background (a training DVD is included). All you have to do is follow the steps that are displayed on the LCD screen, or use the printed 9-step instructions that are on the front of the unit. It requires no air compressor to run, just a standard 110 volt outlet.
The Koilmatic offers vertical book placement that utilized gravity, as well as guides, to offer perfectly aligned pages. This also means that the right side of your document is always up, allowing for oversize and even tabbed sheets without trouble. Unique to only James Burn machinery, it also features coil formers for each spiral coil size. These coil formers catch your book block and shape the spine for each individual coil size, creating the optimum curve. This curve follows the curve of the coil, which ensures your coils won't catch or jam in the book as they are inserted, as well as guarantees the maximum productivity possible. It offers consistent and simultaneous crimping on both coil ends, lending to this even further.
This industrial-level tabletop coil inserting and crimping machine features innovative adjustments and settings that ensure a perfectly finished book, every time. This includes coil diameter selection to help you choose the best size for your book thickness, as well as coil diameter adjustment knobs and clamps. The LCD screen is easy to read, and offers step-by-step walk through of all functions, as well as communicates the machine status while running.
