Akiles WireMac-31 Wire Binding Machine

The Akiles WireMac-31 is a manual punch and vertical wire closer for 3:1 pitch twin-loop binding. It gives a print shop or in-plant department one workstation for punching, loading, and closing thinner wire-bound books.

Its 14-inch open throat supports longer sheets. All 40 square-hole dies can be disengaged for clean punching on different document lengths. Side-margin and punch-depth controls help center the pattern and set the edge margin.
