The Kugler Womako 341-2R is a used book binding machine — sometimes referred to as a punch binder or calendar punching machine — designed for high-speed, fully automatic hole punching and perforation of a wide range of sheet materials. Machines of this type are used to prepare paper, card, and plastic sheets for binding into ring binders, wire-bound notebooks, calendars, and indexed products. Kugler Womako is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of supplying precision punching and binding equipment to the print finishing and calendar manufacturing industries.
This 2003 machine is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany and comes with three tools included in the sale. It is configured as a fully automatic, single-operator system built around a non-stop paternoster feeder that allows continuous feeding without halting production between sheet stacks. Material is introduced via a top-fed intake designed to handle mixed substrates — including combinations of paper, cardboard, and plastic — without causing jams or misfeeds. After punching, a turning wheel maintains the correct sequence of printed or numbered sheets before delivering them to a boxed delivery station equipped with a jogger to keep the output stack aligned and orderly.
The machine operates at a punching speed of 110 cycles per minute and accepts a working width and maximum page format of 500 mm in both the punched and unpunched condition. Maximum punching thickness is 3 mm per layer, and the system handles paper grammages from a minimum of 60 g/m² up to a maximum stock thickness of 2 mm, subject to material quality. The minimum and maximum paper grammage thresholds reflect the range of substrates the punching unit is engineered to process reliably.
Tooling is interchangeable and designed for quick changeover using only a few manual operations, with format adjustments made via manual setting wheels. The edge distance is adjustable, and individual punching units can be selectively deactivated to suit different format or perforation requirements, giving operators flexibility across varied job types. Precise register adjustment is built in, ensuring consistent hole placement across runs of printed or numbered sheets. Register punching is supported but the register punching equipment itself is not included with this listing.
The machine has a footprint of 3.30 × 1.50 metres and a net weight of 1,580 kg.
