Akiles FlexiPunch-E Binding Machine
Heavy-Duty Electric Modular Punch with Interchangeable Die Feature
FlexiPunch-E is a versatile modular punching machine with an affordable price that gives you the binding options you need in everyday work. You can do a coil binding job, and minutes later squeeze in a wire or comb binding project using the same primary punch. The high-quality precision die sets available with this machine will last for years of production. One die of your choice is provided with the unit.
Suggested Supplemental Modules
We offer a variety of supplemental modules to the FlexiPunch-E, that will help you complete your binding jobs faster and easier. Shown at right on top of the FlexiPunch-E is our Finish@Coil E1 Coil Inserter/Crimper Module. This combination is the worlds first to allow an operator to punch the sheets, insert & crimp coils (sizes 6mm-50mm) all by electrical power! The Finish@Coil E1 footprint fits right on top of the FlexiPunch-E to save space. It can also be placed next to the FlexiPunch-E so 2 operators can work the job simultaneously. Similar modules are available for wire binding (WBM532)and comb binding (CBM650) as well.
