Overview: If you have ever tried to CCS Wire Manufacturers
bind a document using double loop wire you probably know just how
difficult it can be to insert the pages onto the document and then
transfer everything to the wire closer for finishing.The
Rhino Tuff HD-8370 is a manual wire closer that is designed to automate
the inserting and closing process for your wire bound documents.All
you need to do is insert the wire into the closer, place the document
onto the closing table and pull the handle. It is as easy as that.It works with three to one pitched wires up to fourteen inches in length.
Strengths / Features: The
HD-8370 is designed to work with three to one pitch wires. It can be
used with spines as small as 1/4″ and as large as 9/16″ in diameter.
The front of binding table on the machine even has a document sizing
guide to help you select the appropriate diameter of wire-o element for
your document. This machine can be used with a number of
different lengths of twin loop wire. It can be adjusted to close
documents as small as 5.5″ for binding half letter sized books in
Iandscape format. It can also be adjusted to handle legal sized 14″
binding lengths. Plus, t will also handle standard eleven inch and 8.5
inch lengths. This means that the HD8370 can be used with all of the
standard sizes of wire that are available on the market.The
HD-8370 can be used as a standalone device or it can easily be bolted
to the top of your Rhino Tuff HD or OD series modular binding punch.
This offers flexibility to users who may want to conserve space or for
high volume users that need to use an assembly line setup for binding
documents quickly and easily with multiple personnel.The
HD-8370 is made completely of metal and like all of the pieces of
Rhin-O-Tuff equipment on the market is built to operate in a production
environment. The construction of this machine is excellent and the wire
closer is made of heavy duty steel components. This should help to
ensure that it stays accurate and durable in organizations where it is
being used every day.
Weaknesses / Limitations: The
primary complaint that I hear about the HD-8370 is that it is difficult
to set up. In order to operate the machine you need to set the wire
closer to the appropriate setting, move the edge guide into position,
ensure that the wire is placed in the correct position inside the
closer and adjust the wire rest, the book stop and the table height.
Even the most experienced wire binding users can find this to be a
difficult process. If you primarily bind one size of wire the this
machine may be easier to use since it won’t require constant
adjustments. However, users who regularly bind different thicknesses of
books may have difficulties with this machine.Although
HD8370 is capable of binding documents that are the most common lengths
it is not ideal for binding documents that utilize a custom number of
loops. It is specifically designed to bind 16 loop, 25 loop, 32 loop,
38 loop, 41 loop, 24 loop and 34 loop documents. If your document is a
size other than this, it may have difficulties closing and inserting
the wires.It may also have difficulties with wires that have
become deformed or are slightly out of pitch. The wires need to line up
perfectly with the bars in the machine in order to properly insert and
close the documents
Recommendation: The HD8370 is a great choice for organizations that are looking for a high volume easy to use wire closer and inserter .However,
the setup of this machine makes it difficult to use for organizations
that regularly need to switch the sizes of the documents that they need
to bind.This makes the HD-8370 ideal for users who need to bind a large number of documents that are all the same size. Otherwise,
you will want to make sure that you have a mechanically minded operator
that is comfortable working with a number of different settings in
order to get this machine to work properly.
