Usp13 universal speed gbc Binding Punch Review

Overview:

• The GBC USP13 is the same machine that was originally designed and manufactured by Sickenger before they were purchased by GBC.
• This machine is designed for applications high volume and commonly found in stores in large print and bookbinding through the United States.
• It uses a paper path Short and right to help minimize jams when running thick and coated paper. This design also allows this machine to run documents together with tabs and intermingled documents of various weights.

Strengths / Features:

• The GBC Sickinger USP13 is designed for large bindery, print shops and printers that have factory needed punch millions of sheets per month. It is capable of punching up to 120,000 sheets of paper per hour and operates at an average of 80,000 sheets per hour. That is double the speed of the punch GBC AP2 automatic. Simply load your documents together in one side of the machine and within seconds they will be punched and ready to finish.
• The straight through paper path and speed parameters of USP-13 automatic punch, it is much better suited for handling thick stock glossy paper and covered with other punches automatic. Turning to the speed you can help reduce supply problems and problems during the execution of specialty paper and heavier covers. It is designed to puncture the leaves as light as 16 pounds obligations and as heavy as 110 pounds index.
• The Sickinger USP13 has been around for years and has been used in the bindery, high volume and print shops. It is a reliable machine that you can count on to manage your volume punching needs. The parts are readily available and There are experienced technicians who service experience with this specific machine in most major U.S. cities.
• There are over fifteen different die sets available for this punch. In fact, punching are available for all major binding styles, including: Comb binding, spiral, double loop wire, Velobind, Proclick, 3-hole punching and two-hole. Custom dies can also be produced according to your specifications for use in specialty applications.

Weaknesses and limitations:

• Users who plan to acquire this machine should note its size and weight. This machine weighs about fifteen hundred pounds and has a massive footprint. It measures 38 "W x 74" W x 50 "H. It is important to make sure you have the space for this machine and how to enter your store.
• Although the brochure listing CBG you can go die in a few seconds, frankly, between one and two minutes for most experienced operators that the switch matrices. No tools Special expertise is required, which is a good thing. However, the tool change time on this machine does make it ideal for short applications execution or for shops that are constantly switching models punching. The Quantum GBC is much better suited for these types of applications.
• Like the Ultra AP2, the USP13 is limited in the size of documents that can be punched. He can punch documents with a edge Binding as short as 6 "and as long as 13". However, non-perforated edge of the document must be between 5 "and 12" long. This means he can not punch legal size paper or sheet sizes extremely low. It's one thing to keep in mind.
• Although this machine can punch collated documents with mixed paper stocks, he may still have trouble with plastic or poly covers. It is sometimes possible these types of compost blankets to bring in your materials. However, if the elevator arrives in the fall so that the transparent cover on the top or bottom Stack is a blow may cause a paper jam. Unfortunately, the best way to deal with plastic covers is their punch with a punch office binding one or both.
• Although USP13 is extremely reliable, it is really a good idea to consider purchasing a maintenance contract for this machine. Just as a photocopier or a piece of the USP-13 printing equipment will require maintenance over time and there are literally hundreds of components that all work together to punch your paper. Having a trained technician perform regular maintenance will help you protect your investment and reduce potential downtime.

Recommendation:

• The GBC Sickinger USP13 is a excellent automatic binding punch has been used by bookbinders and printers for the great years.
• This machine is capable of treating a wide variety of document formats, thicknesses of paper and can even punch collated documents with tabs.
• With an average speed of 80,000 sheets per hour, this machine is one of only a few choices available in the market for ultra high volume users.
• Provided you have the budget, space and volume to justify this piece of equipment, I strongly recommend the USP13.
