Sep 27, 2011 Unlike other digital cutting/laser cutting lines that may require input of vector-based files during set up, Designers' Turnkey Digital Print-to-Laser Cutting System allows product developers to use Rastor Image Process software at pre-press level to specify not only print but also laser cutting files to finish product. System can extract vector data embedded in PDF, ONYX, or other formats, and enables use of barcodes to signal job changeovers for uninterrupted continuous production lines.

May 28, 2010 Able to reduce mold construction time, Quick Strip eliminates need for ejector plates and pins, risers, and clamping plates. Absence of ejector pin holes also lends to cooling systems optimization and accelerated cycle times. Because this tool lifts part from mold cavity without leaving any marks, overall aesthic quality of part is ensured.

Feb 15, 2008 Smart Laminator-Die Cut System synchronizes roll lamination and die cutting operations to eliminate causes of stock and laminate production waste. With smart sensors, system can detect sheet misfeeds, sources of improper laminating, or film splices, and automatically stops system so that corrective measures can be taken. Smart start and stop lamination controls also detect missing sheets and film splices, minimizing wasted overlaminate.

Oct 11, 2002 Multiple Roll Die-Cutting System handles nonwoven roll material with low-tension pull to avoid stretching. Webs from multiple rolls are brought through ultrasonic welder (to combine material) and inkjet printer (to print part numbers and lettering). Optically registered, belt-fed die-cutter cuts out finished parts, which are then removed from belt onto conveyor for operator collection.

Sep 12, 2002 Sheet-Fed Laminating/Die-Cutting system feeds sheets of foam through water-heated laminating station, laminates 2 layers of adhesive to top of material, and laminates substrate to bottom. It feeds sheets to optically registered die-cutter, which cuts out final product. Product is removed from matrix by knockout station onto side-exiting conveyor. Matrix is sheeter cut to conveyor for waste disposal. System uses PID loop to control tension.

Jul 25, 2002 Sheet- or roll-fed die-cutting system is suitable for sheet or web production. Printed paper goes through heated over-laminate unit, then receives under-laminate of magnetic material. Optically registered die-cutter cuts out product. Finished product is knocked out of web at knock-out station, conveyed to operator, and remaining matrix is scrap cut. Product can also be left in web, sheeted into sheets of product, and stacked.

Jun 13, 2002 Dieflex Auto Rule is designed for automated rule bending equipment. It is edge-hardened and meets close height and thickness tolerances. Dieflex Ultra comes with friction reducing coating on cutting edge resulting in clean cutting with reduced slivers and dust. Dieflex Superbend provides minimum bending radius of 160°, while maintaining high body and edge hardness. Dieflex G12 and Superbend G12 feature fine ground-cutting edge for edge sharpness and dust-free cutting.
