What is the difference between precision laser die cutting machine and traditional die cutting machine

At present, the application of high-precision die-cutting machines is not very extensive in the sales market. The die-cutting and technology of traditional mechanical equipment are still deeply loved by people. Today, taking the application of high-precision die-cutting machines in the production and processing of paper packaging products as an example, the advantages and technical characteristics of high-precision die-cutting machines are analyzed!

First, let's start with traditional die-cutting technology. Traditional mechanical equipment die-cutting releases the necessary working pressure according to the printing plate, rolling the promotional materials or cardboard into a specific appearance. If all the promotional materials are pressed and cut into independent graphics, it is called die-cutting. If a steel wire is pressed on the printed matter, or a curved groove is left, it is called indentation. So what problems are often encountered in the whole process?

1. Poor precision

The reason for the low precision of die-cutting is the problem of the die-cutting version itself, and also the problem of the promotional product. The error of the handmade die-cutting plate is large; the natural environment of the die-cutting indentation is different from that of the whole process of packaging and printing, which will cause the paper shape to deform, resulting in the prohibition of the die-cutting indentation area, especially after waxing and laminating, the paper shape is seriously deformed, endangering the die-cutting precision.

2. Die-cutting indentation causes cracking and visible lines

The reason is that cracking refers to the excessive pressure of indentation, which exceeds the bearing limit of paper fiber, causing the paper fiber to break or partially break; while visible lines refer to the excessive pressure of indentation or improper selection of indentation wire, resulting in poor paper quality, different angle of paper fiber from typesetting angle, low water content of paper, poor elasticity, etc.

3. Burrs on die-cutting edges

During die-cutting, the laser cutting edges of die-cut products are often not smooth, and the pilling edges are even more serious for some laser cutting edges that are very close to the indentation line. This is because when the mold is tightly combined with pressure, the sealing strip and indentation wire on the mold plate produce tension on the paper shape, and the paper shape is torn by the tension when it is not completely cut, resulting in burrs.

5. The connection point is too large

The end users of color box packaging always stipulate that the connection points are getting smaller and smaller, and the manufacturers always let the speed of the equipment run fast, which increases the difficulty coefficient of the operator. In order to alleviate the difficulty coefficient, the connection point should be at the support point, and the wire grinder should be used. The knife edge of the connection point must be used with a hard sealing strip or a cork board to avoid the connection point from breaking and making the connection point smaller and smaller.

Compared with the traditional die-cutting machine, the high-precision die-cutting machine has the following characteristics;

1. High quality and high precision.

With the development trend of die-cutting technology and high-precision technology, combining the two and replacing traditional die-cutting with high precision has significant advantages. Precision die-cutting machine is fully automatic high-precision laser cutting, no vibration error, and stable precision. There is no need to make tool molds, and the electronic computer can immediately operate high-precision laser cutting, which is not limited by the complexity of the pattern. Laser cutting that traditional tool molds cannot perform is necessary.

Second, no need to change the plate, high efficiency.

Because the high-precision die-cutting technology is directly operated by the electronic computer, there is no need to disassemble and replace the knife mold, and different styles of live parts can be quickly converted, especially in the appropriate short and humanized die-cutting processing, which saves the time of disassembly, replacement and adjustment of traditional die-cutting knife molds. The high-precision die-cutting machine has non-capacitive grid characteristics, fast replacement, short production cycle and high production efficiency.

Fourth, laser cutting graphics can be designed on the computer, and various graphic parameters can be set in the application scenario software automatically. Therefore, the high-precision die-cutting machine is easy to understand and use, and has low requirements on the professional skills of the operator. The mechanical equipment has a high level of automation technology, which reduces the labor efficiency of the operator. When laser cutting, the operator does not need to operate the live parts directly, and the safety factor is good.

Since the high-precision die-cutting machine can store the laser cutting program flow programmed by the computer, when reproducing, it only needs to adjust to the corresponding program flow to perform laser cutting, ensuring repeated production and processing.

Five, the cost of mid- and late-stage application is low.

The cost of precision die-cutting technology includes the cost of machinery and the application cost of machinery, while the cost of traditional die-cutting technology includes the cost of manufacturing die-cutting, the cost of processing machinery, the cost of traditional die-cutting machinery, the cost of adjusting manual services, and the cost of waiting time. For traditional die-cutting technology, the cost of manufacturing die-cutting is very expensive. For many small and medium-sized packaging and printing companies, the cost of post-printing die-cutting production ranges from 30,000 to 50,000, and from 100,000 to 150,000. It also requires experienced die-cutting workers to carry out professional installation and adjustment. In addition, the space for the die-cutting plate must be stored, and various auxiliary software must have various uncontrollable wastes, and the application cost of traditional die-cutting is getting higher and higher!

The emergence of new high-precision die-cutting technology will inevitably lead to technological innovation in the production and processing of paper packaging products and the printing and packaging manufacturing industry, because the advantages of high-precision die-cutting machines can be widely used in various manufacturing industries, such as stickers, birthday cards, candy boxes, self-adhesive labels, paper sculpture crafts, paper-cut paintings, gift box packaging, birthday cake inserts, schedules and red envelopes, etc. High-precision die-cutting technology is dedicated to the production and processing of packaging printing paper packaging products.
