With this Stitching Wire Spool you will be able to continuously stitch close to 11 Million books (w/25 Gauge) without having a single spool change over. This stitching wire spool can be used for medium to high output binderies. 



Stitching Wire's Quality of Finish


Quality of Finish:

An ideal wire is chrome-like in appearance with special friction reducing additives to resist peeling and flaking while providing a superior workability in all bending and forming applications.

Importance of having the proper Tensile in your Stitching Wire


Tensile is defined as the uniaxial tension until failure measured in pounds per square inch (PSI). The higher the failure point the stiffer the wire, this is measured on tensile testing machine. High quality stitching wire has a tensile range of 135,000 to 165,000 PSI. A tensile above 165,000 PSI will wear out parts in your stitching head prematurely, causing maintenance costs and down time. High tensile wire can also wear out the knives in a trimmer section prematurely. The increased hardness of the stitching wire will nick a trimmer section’s knives more severely when struck during saddle stitcher jams. A tensile below 135,000 PSI will cause the stitching wire to be soft and not properly form a proper stitch.
High tensile stitching wires are available in the industry, but the cost benefits of using a high tensile wire with a thinner diameter on thicker applications is outweighed by the cost of premature wear on stitching heads and trimmer section knives.  

Stitching Wire Cast and Camber (Helix)


Commercially produced, stitching wire is not straight. Each spool size has a desired curvature of the wire. The radial or circular curvature is known as “Cast.” Cast is measured as the diameter of a free turn of wire. The axial component is referred to as “Camber.” Camber is measured at the offset in the ends of one turn of freely hanging wire. The larger the cast and the smaller the camber are characteristics of a high quality wire. This allows the wire to go into the stitching head smoother, producing less drag, and will provide fewer dropped stitches. The stitching head will work more efficiently with less energy and maintenance.

Box Stitching Wire Problems, Box Stitchers



When the machine is initially setup with a new spool of box stitching wire the brake system does not take much pressure to prevent the spool from over rotating because of the weight of the wire. As the wire gets further to the bottom of the spool it gets easier and easier for the spool to over rotate causing a nesting of the wire or jam. The spool holder brake should be adjusted as the wire comes off to stop this problem.

As you can see in your picture windings of the wire are no longer in line (one after another) like they would be normally during the spooling process.

This is what points us to the over rotation theory. The wire nested initially and when the wire kept on feeding into the machine the jam or snag happened from wires getting tightened upon one another.
