How does a die cut machine work?

May. 30, 2023

Die cut machine is a machine specially used to produce products such as packaging boxes and cards in various shapes. The working principle of the machine is based on die-cutting technology, which can process a variety of materials, such as paper, synthetic fibers, plastics, metals, etc. It can not only improve production efficiency and reduce manual operation, but also can obtain high-quality and consistent finished products. This article will introduce how the die cut machine works.


Working principle


Die cut machine is mainly composed of base, tool frame, feeding system and control system. The machine completes a series of operations through electrical machinery and manual operation, including hopper automatic feeding, panel positioning, rotating system, die-cutting, line pressing, folding, kneading, crotch opening, punching and other processes. The specific process is as follows:


1.Install the tool: first install the required tool mold on the tool rack. During the die-cutting process, the knife is directly pressed down by the pressure plate, and the material and the knife die are extruded together to cut it into shape.


2.Positioning material: After the mold is installed, the hopper will automatically send the material to the feeding system. The feeding system is responsible for accurately placing the material on the guide plate for positioning to ensure the precise alignment of the material and the die.


3.Die-cutting operation: When the knife die and the material are aligned, the machine starts to press down, so that the knife die is close to the material, so as to cut the material into the desired shape and size.


4. Line pressure: Line pressure is to realize the crease of the carton by arranging the line technology. It turns the die-cut product into the line crimping machine for finishing. The line creasing machine presses the line according to the gap of the scale line, so that the cardboard The specific scale line is crimped to form the three-dimensional shape of the carton.


5. Folding, crotch opening, and punching: After the desired finished product is obtained, it is necessary to perform processing such as folding, crotch opening, and punching, which are all automatically completed by the machine.


Advantages and fields of application


Die cut machines can process many different materials more efficiently than traditional hand cutting and die cutting machines. It can produce a variety of products, including greeting cards, cards, folders, covers, cartons and boxes, etc. Because machine operation can be precisely controlled, higher quality and more consistent finished products can be obtained. This machine is widely used in industrial fields such as packaging manufacturing, paper product manufacturing, and card manufacturing. Especially in the field of consumer goods manufacturing, the demand is very large. Therefore, the machine has become an important equipment in the modern industrial production line.


In short, the working principle of Packaging box's die cut machine is based on advanced die-cutting technology, and a series of processing operations are completed through mechanical and manual operations. The machine has the advantages of high efficiency, high quality and high consistency, and has become one of the indispensable equipment in modern industrial manufacturing.
