• No need for special tools for closing the spiral, which significantly simplifies the binding process.

How the WB-500 spiral semi-automatic works:

The operator sets the pitch, diameter, number of coils and length to be bound in the computer. The machine automatically unwinds the spool, cuts the wire to the required length and moves it to the binding position. The operator then inserts the previously pre-punched block of cards onto the open spiral.

Once inserted, all you have to do is press the foot pedal and the book is automatically transferred to the closing press, where it is closed and the finished product is ejected into the box. The closing press automatically adjusts to all spiral diameters and sizes, eliminating the need to change tools.

Features of the WB-500 semi-automatic spiral machine:

• It uses wire on spools, which ensures continuous production.
• It supports 3:1 and 2:1 pitch for wire sizes from 1/4" to 1-1/4".
• Maximum binding length: 500 mm; minimum binding length: 50 mm.
• High productivity: a maximum of 1,100 cycles per hour, with the actual speed depending on operator skill and material specifications.
