Die-Cutting

Using die-cutting, we separate or punch out shapes from flat parts with our die-cut machine. This cuts the shape with many tons of pressure and a die-cut tool. Die-cut tools consist of a cut (inner shape) and a die (outer shape). When the tool hits the die, the material is separated. There are also applications in which the counterpart to the stamp is a flat base, for which the upper part of the tool consists of a die-cut knife and the base is made of a softer material.

We mainly die-cut thicker materials such as composites, technical textiles or leather. We only die-cut manually. The pieces are inserted and positioned by hand. The die-cut stroke is hydraulic.

Exciting Advantages of Die-Cutting

The die-cutting procedure enables large quantities of flat components to be quickly processed. This usually leads to very low unit costs, but the die-cut tools have to be made individually. The cutting itself then takes place at high speed at which many parts can be cut out at the same time.

A variety of materials can be cut using a die-cutting process. These are mainly thin, flat materials like foils, plastics, paper and textiles. In addition, thicker substances like composite materials, cardboard, leather, textiles and metal sheets can be die-cut. For us, die-cutting serves more as an internal processing step and that’s why we focus on the materials that we use in our production processes.

Precise Coordination and Fixture Construction

Each project and every material is unique, and we also map this process. For this we combine individual punching device construction with test trials to approach the optimal processing.

  • Die-Cut Tool Building

    We build individual die-cut tools depending on the geometry/cutout of the part to be machined.

  • Prototype Tests

    After completing the die-cut tool, we manufacture prototypes to identify problem areas

  • Cutting in Series

    With the knowledge from the first two steps, we subsequently create the final punching process. With the punching iron we guarantee permanent repetition security.
