Akiles Crimp@Coil Heavy Duty Automatic Coil Crimper Demo Video

Transcript :

Welcome to MyBinding video. Today we're looking at the Crimp-a-Coil, an Akiles heavy duty, automatic coil crimper. Certainly one of the most frustrating parts of coil binding is crimping the ends for a nice finished look. The Akiles Crimp-a-Coil allows you to crimp both ends at the same time consistently through any number of projects. Here's the set up step-by-step. Two knobs on each plate allow you to loosen or tighten them down. Opening them up, use the grid. You can match any size paper or bind that you need. You can also lock in your setting by placing the book inside, between the fence bars, and lock it down. The large black knobs on either side of the machine raise or lower the entire shelf. This is the first adjustment you make for the size project or size coil that you're working with. Use the guide to set your setting and use the same setting for both the crimpers and the guides there. After the guides are set, you'll need to place both crimpers in the right spot so that you hit the coil at the right place. On the back of the machine behind the crimpers are three locks. Unlock them and that allows you to relocate the crimpers wherever you need. It's a little bit of work to get it perfect but once you have it set, it's set for all of your projects. And you always want to crimp just on the inside of the first ring. And remember to lock down your settings. When you're all set, use the black pedal, either by foot or by hand, and crimp away. The Crimp-a-Coil will cut and crimp both ends simultaneously. And the finished product is as nice as it is easy. The Crimp-a-Coil will allow you to crimp over 50 books in a single minute. The nylon black bag in the front is easily removed and inside holds all your trimmings. There it is, the Akiles Crimp@Coil.

Akiles Crimp @ Coil Review

When it comes to the spiral coil binding process, the very last step is one of the most important. Crimping the ends of the binding helps to ensure that the spine stays on the book where it belongs and doesn’t spin itself off. While it is a fairly simple process even when done manually, if you are working with a high volume of books, it can be somewhat of a time consuming task. The Akiles Crimp @ Coil is a machine that automatically cuts and crimps the ends of the spiral coil wire far more quickly and easily than it can be done with hands and pliers. We recently took a close look at the Crimp @ Coil and are here to report what we see as some of its strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths:

1. Versatility. The Crimp @ Coil is a pretty impressive unit, as it is set up to crimp coils of just about any size from 6mm to 50mm thick. One thing that you will also appreciate about it is that you will not have to make any sort of physical adjustment to the machine or change any sort of die to crimp coils of different sizes. All you have to do is to select the correct setting for the coil you are using and you are all set. This is a refreshing change from the vast majority of the other crimping machines on the market.

2. Speed. Speed + accuracy = productivity, and with the ability to cut and crimp fifty booklets a minute, the Crimp @ Coil impresses with in this realm as well. The motor operates at 54 cycles a minute making it one of the fastest automatic crimping machines out there, which means that it presents a good solution for just about any heavy duty document production environment.

3. Durability. Just like most members of the Akiles line, the Crimp @ Coil is constructed entirely of high quality metal, and is by all appearances, a machine that was built to give you years of great service. This, of course, heightens the appeal the machine may have for large volume users such as professional binderies, copy and print shops, and larger businesses that do their own in house publishing.

4. Safe. The Crimp @ Coil comes with a handy foot pedal, meaning that it can be operated without the use of hands. This both increases the accuracy of the machine, and helps to ensure that hands stay free of the cutting and crimping mechanism where they might be injured by careless operators.

5. Convenient. The waste bag of the Crimp @ Coil is both large and easy to empty.

6. Accurate. The Crimp @ Coil’s alignment guide makes this a very easy to use machine, and helps to ensure that your books are always correctly positioned for crimping.

Weaknesses:

1. The Crimp @ Coil is designed for use by large volume production environments, so the financial outlay may be a little much unless your business can be described as such.

2. This machine weighs in at around 50lbs, so you might need some help moving it around the floor, or you might want to find the machine its own dedicated spot.

Love the machine I purchased! The only tiny complaint is that I didn't receive a shipping notice with tracking. I had to contact the company, but they sent it by email in just a few minutes. I would buy from this company again.

Works great! Thanks!

Great machine/ Great Company

I’m so glad I found this machine!! It punches through my chipboard covers to make my journals. It seems very durable and well made. I Know it seems like a lot of money but, it’s well worth it. I’ve tried the other machines that are cheaper on Amazon and they just don’t do the job like this one does. You won’t be disappointed.

Heavy Duty Machine

I have not had much time to play around with it yet, but it is built like a tank and seems to be a very solid machine that is pretty easy to use. I have no experience with coil binding, yet my first attempt went really well. I didn't realize I needed to order the coil crimper separately, so with my trial run I used a pair of needle nose pliers and managed okay - promptly ordered the crimpers though and a couple larger sized coils. I believe this will provide much more functional binding for us in comparison to the comb binding that we were using.
