Rotary Die-Cutting
Rotary Die-Cutting
Rotary die-cutting is among the most practical and effective converting processes for high-precision, large-volume production runs. This method uses cylindrical cutting dies, high-speed feeders, stackers and waste removal systems to streamline productivity and efficiency.
At Advantage Converting, our facility uses state-of-the-art rotary die-cutting equipment to deliver superior results for demanding high-volume applications. Our multi-station rotary presses feature advanced capabilities like island placement, precision alignment technology and in-line laminating capabilities. We work closely with customers to understand their needs and identify die-cutting and other converting solutions that increase efficiency and save money without compromising quality.
Benefits of Our Rotary Die-Cutting Services
Our rotary die-cutters offer many advantages for high-volume production runs that require precise, repeatable results. These machines can accommodate materials in rolls or sheet form while maintaining extremely tight tolerances and minimizing material waste. The continuous operation and multi-station processing capabilities enable significantly faster production speeds than flatbed converting methods.
Superior efficiency and accuracy distinguish rotary equipment from other die-cutting processes. Although rotary presses involve lengthier setup times than other die-cutting machines, the fast production speeds make this equipment a superior option for large-volume projects. The continuous rotary motion eliminates the start-stop cycles typical in different die-cutting methods, dramatically increasing throughput and reducing production time.
Rotary Die-Cutting Capabilities
Our rotary die-cutting equipment can perform various specialized functions in a single pass to deliver comprehensive converting solutions in an individual production line. Examples of our capabilities include:
Through-cutting
Precision rotary cutting dies create clean, accurate cuts across a continuous production run. This high-speed capability maintains tight tolerances while maximizing material yield through optimal part spacing and scrap removal.
Kiss-cutting
Kiss-cutting leaves part of the material untouched by cutting only a portion of the substrate. This process is perfect for multi-layer materials or applications requiring part of the original substrate to remain intact.
In-line laminating
Multiple stations allow the layering and bonding of different materials while die-cutting. This streamlined approach ensures precise alignment while significantly reducing production time over separate machine passes.
Design features
Advanced die technology enables scoring, perforating and island placement with exceptional accuracy in a single pass. Specialized tooling creates complex patterns and functional features while maintaining material integrity across high-volume production runs.
Slitting
Peripheral slitters and knifing systems provide accurate width control for optimal material sizing across multiple lanes. Advanced slitting technology and material handling systems minimize edge waste while maintaining precise dimensions.
Vision system alignment
Computer-aided precision maintains tight tolerances through real-time monitoring and adjustment of cutting parameters. This automated quality control ensures consistent part dimensions and geometries throughout the production run.
