Die cutters & die cutting machines are used for processing woven cloth, non-woven textiles and rubber sheets. Their vital function is to convert web or sheet materials into shapes. They are widely used in laboratory applications.

Types

They are basically of two types:

• Clicker Presses: They are useful in converting web materials manually. They consist of switches, pushbutton control and pendants.
• Rotary Die Cutters: They are also known as roller press die cutters and are used in the high-speed conversion of web and sheet materials. In this type of die cutters, roller shaped cutting dyes are pressed against a web. With the rotation of the roller dies, web materials are inserted and converted into desired shapes.

Both the above mentioned die cutters are largely used in laboratory applications including process parameter studies, sample preparation and material development.

Specifications

The important specifications are:

• Capacity or operating force
• Stroke
• Daylight or open height
• Throat
• Maximum sheet length or working length
• Maximum sheet width or working depth

Applications

These are widely used in many applications. Some of its common applications are:

• Textile Industry
• Rubber Industry
• Laboratory Applications
• Research & Development
