Now the editor will focus on introducing the application of die-cutting machines in packaging. Die-cutting machines are mainly used for die-cutting, indentation, and cold embossing operations of trademarks, cardboard boxes, greeting cards, etc. in the paper packaging and decoration industry. They are important equipment for post-press packaging processing and forming.
The types of die-cutting machines are mainly divided into three types according to the different forms of stamping: circular pressing, circular pressing, and flat pressing. According to the placement form of the template, it can be divided into two types: vertical and horizontal. According to the degree of automation, there are two options: manual and automatic. From a functional perspective, in addition to die-cutting, there is also a stamping function called hot stamping die-cutting machine, and some have an automatic waste cleaning function called waste cleaning die-cutting machine. The characteristics of circular die-cutting machines are line contact, low die-cutting pressure, and high production efficiency. They can be connected to printing equipment such as offset printing machines, flexographic printing machines, and gravure printing machines for online die-cutting, so their application range is relatively wide.
Operators should pay attention to dust prevention and cleanliness. In actual production, a large amount of waste paper edges and burrs will be generated during die-cutting of paper boxes. If not paid attention to them, they will enter the chain transmission part, the die-cutting moving platform, and some rotating parts, and may block the photoelectric detection head, causing malfunctions. So, it is important to prioritize the cleaning of the body of the die-cutting machine before ensuring trouble-free operation.
