Akiles CoilMac-EPI Coil Binding Machine

The Akiles CoilMac-EPI is a commercial-duty electric coil binding machine for production binderies and in-plant shops that bind reports, manuals, calendars, and cookbooks in plastic spiral coil. It pairs an electric punch with an electric coil inserter and crimpers, so one operator can punch a stack and insert coil without a separate hand crimper. The 13-inch punch handles letter and legal work (legal in two passes), uses a 4:1 (0.25 inch) round-hole pitch, and punches up to 25 sheets of 20 lb stock at a time. Five disengageable pins let you punch partial-length sheets and odd sizes cleanly. Mid-State Litho is an authorized Akiles dealer and stocks coil supplies plus the rest of the Akiles binding line.
