Akiles CoilMac-ECP Coil Binding Machine
The Akiles CoilMac-ECP is a commercial-duty electric coil punch for print shops and binderies running 4:1 (0.25 inch pitch) plastic spiral coil. It takes up to 25 sheets per lift and punches round holes up to a 13 inch binding edge. It includes crimpers to finish the coil ends, and the operator inserts the coil by hand. Five pins are disengageable for common sheet sizes.
The ECP is the base of the CoilMac-ECP line. The ECP+ steps up to oval holes and all 54 pins disengageable. The EX41 adds an electric inserter.

How to choose an electric coil binder
- Punch only or punch-and-insert. The ECP and ECP+ punch and crimp, and you insert the coil by hand. The EX41 adds an electric inserter. Hand-insert is fine for moderate volume. Step up to the EX41 if you bind all day.
- Hole shape, round or oval. The base ECP punches round holes. The ECP+ punches oval (smoother coil feed). Match the hole shape to the coil you stock.
- Disengageable pins. The base ECP has 5 for common sizes. The ECP+ has all 54 for open-ended and custom sheets.
- Throat and pitch. 13 inch edge, 4:1 (0.25 inch) pitch, 25-sheet punch. Confirm your booklet size and coil pitch.
