SUPERCUT FLEXIBLE DIES

 

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

Our SuperCut dies make convincing products because of their very high operating performance even in the basic versions. For certain materials and applications, however, it makes sense to increase the lifetime of a tool even further through special types of finishings. The flexibility, tolerance and magnetic adhesion of the dies remain fully preserved with all coatings and hardening processes.

OVERVIEW OF VARIANTS

  • Laser hardening is generally recommendable for cutting-through as well as for difficult-to-cut filmic materials in large quantities.
  • MC coating offers very good protection against wear when die-cutting abrasive (thermal) materials.
  • Particularly in the processing of very abrasive materials and inks (thermal paper, opaque white, luminous paints) in long runs, the MCR coating offers a considerable prolongation of lifetime, also in combination with laser hardening.
  • Especially with particularly “extreme” materials and very large quantities, MC plus coating prolongs the service life of the flexible die to a maximum.
  • Our four non-stick coatings are the optimum solution if you are combating ink and adhesive residues. The non-stick coating minimises these residues on the cutting edges and on the surface of the die, thus ensuring an undisturbed production process

WISP® DIES (SHEET-FED OFFSET)

WIDE RANGE OF USES

Our Wisp® flexible dies are made from high quality materials using state-of-the-art CNC technology. These unique special flexible dies can be used in almost all sheet offset machines for any print formats.

Our innovative technology enables efficient in-line production: kiss-cutting, cutting-through, perforation, creasing and embossing can take place immediately after printing. This saves valuable time and significantly reduces your production costs. The ideal height (up to 1.5 mm) is set according to your material. Paper and card printing material measuring up to 0.4 mm in thickness can therefore be cut without any problems. Our various finishing options enable you to further increase efficiency.

SUITABLE FOR MACHINES BY:

  • Heidelberger
  • manroland
  • KBA
  • Komori
  • Ryobi
  • Sakurai
  • and more

MCR COATING FOR FLEXIBLE DIES

The MCR coating substantially increases the life of your flexible dies, making it the optimum solution for abrasive materials and long runs. Particularly in the processing of very abrasive materials and inks (thermal paper, opaque white, luminous inks) and long runs, MCR offers a considerable prolongation of lifetime. 

SPECIFICATIONS

  • specially developed hard chrome composite
  • coating applied by galvano technique 
  • hardness approx. 1200 HV
  • combinable with Non-Stick
  • no additional tolerance differences
  • no impairing of the flexibility or magnetic adhesion

NON-STICK COATINGS

Wink Non-Stick coatings for flexible dies minimise adhesive and ink residues on the cutting edge and die surface, ensuring an uninterrupted manufacturing process. The flexibility and magnetic adhesion of our dies are not at all impaired by our Non-Stick coatings.

ADVANTAGES

  • adhesive and ink residues on the cutting edge are minimised
  • perfect and clean die-cutting results
  • time saving due to less cleaning efforts
  • longer tool lifetime
  • can be combined with MC/MCR coating and laser hardening (apart from Non-Stick Silver)

LASER HARDENING FOR FLEXIBLE DIES

Laser hardening is a process in which the tip of the cutting line is hardened by a laser, controlled by a specially developed computer controlled procedure. This gives maximum possible lifetime of the flexible die. Laser hardening is recommended generally for 'cutting through' as well as for difficult to cut (filmic) materials and long runs. 

ADVANTAGES

  • maximum possible lifetime (hardness at top of cutting line: 66-68 HRC)
  • trouble-free kiss-cutting and cutting through, also with difficult materials
  • no impairing of the flexibility
  • no magnetic adhesion loss
  • no additional tolerance differences

PROSHIFT® TECHNOLOGY

LESS PRESSURE, MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY

Very often, labels include a high percentage of crosslines, e.g. rectangles. These shapes are fundamentally disadvantageous for die-cutting, however, and often cause problems in the die-cutting of lines across web direction. Help is at hand here with our ProShift® technology.

 

In a conventional, symmetrical arrangement of labels, the fact is that the greater the number and length of the crosslines, the more pretension is needed for these lines to be cut cleanly. With ProShift® flexible dies, however, the impressions are staggered in web direction. This reduces the length of the simultaneously cutting cross-lines, so that the cutting pressure can be considerably reduced.

----------------------

The advantages of the ProShift® principle are not just in die-cutting. The staggered structure of the labels also has a positive influence on the printing results and increases overall efficiency: 

  • perfect cutting results with minimum pretension
  • simple and stable matrix stripping
  • considerable reduction in cutting noise
  • longer lifetime of flexible dies and other machine parts
  • shorter setup times due to simple adjustment of cutting pressure
  • lower dot gain in printing and reduced "bouncing" of printing cylinders
  • higher production speeds possible in many cases
