Nail Hole Punch will punch a calendar nail hole in the opposite side of the binding edge, punching both the binding edge and calendar nail hole in one pass. It is adjustable to do sheet sizes from 7" up to 12" and will punch multiple sheets at one time with speeds up to 80 cycles/ minute. The advantage of adding the nail hole option is that it allows the EX to punch both the holes for the binding, as well as the nail hole on the opposite side, at the same time. The lift of paper is picked from the stack and brought forward by the upper and lower feed belts. The lift of paper stops in the punching area and held on all four sides. The head and foot of the sheets are punched at the same time, the lift is ejected and moved to the reception by the exit belts. The nail hole option is fully adjustable and because it’s punched when the lift of paper is held on all four side, the hole punch very accurate. The big advantage is in reduced labor costs, eliminating one step out of calendar finishing process. Additionally, by not needing the added step of drilling a nail hole, it will reduce the chance of mistakes that might be made during additional processing where material could be damaged or taken out of collation. The nail hole option can be installed on any newer style EX380 or EX610.
