Printer Slotter Die Cutter Machine

1. Printing slotting die cutting machine product introduction

Printing slotting die cutting machine is a mechanical equipment that combines three main processes of printing, slotting and die cutting. It can print exquisite patterns and text on cardboard and other materials, while making folding lines for cartons, cartons and other products through the slotting process, and using the die-cutting process to cut the cardboard into a specific shape, so as to achieve the key processing steps from raw materials to finished product packaging.

Early packaging and printing equipment function is relatively simple, printing, slotting and die cutting often need to be completed on different machines, which is not only inefficient, but also easy to produce errors in the process conversion process. With the development of machinery manufacturing and automation technology, printing slotting die cutting machine gradually appeared. The original model has certain limitations in the degree of automation and accuracy, but after years of improvement, modern printing slotting die cutting machine has a high degree of automation, high precision and high speed characteristics, and the integration of advanced computer control system and new mechanical structure.

2. Type of printing slotting die cutting machine

Flexographic slotting die cutting machine

Flexographic printing is widely used in packaging printing because of its low cost and fast ink drying. Flexographic slotting die cutting machine uses flexible flexographic plate as printing material, through the mesh roller transfer ink, can achieve large area, bright color printing on board. This model is suitable for printing simple patterns and text, and is often used in the production of cartons and cartons that are more sensitive to costs, such as the transportation and packaging of ordinary goods.

Offset printing slotting die cutting machine

Offset printing has the characteristics of high printing accuracy and good color reproduction. Offset printing slotting die cutting machine uses the principle of insolubility of oil and water to transfer the text and text on the printing plate to the board through the rubber cloth. It can achieve high-quality color printing, suitable for packaging products with high printing quality requirements, such as cosmetics, electronic products and other packaging boxes.

Semi-automatic printing slotting die cutting machine

Semi-automatic models require a certain manual operation, such as manual feeding, receiving and so on. This machine structure is relatively simple, low cost, suitable for some small enterprises or the production speed requirements are not high occasions. Although manual intervention is required, it can still ensure certain production efficiency and product quality under the use of skilled operators.

Automatic printing slotting die cutting machine

The automatic printing slotting die cutting machine is equipped with advanced automatic control system and material handling system, which can realize fully automated production from cardboard feeding, printing, slotting, die cutting to finished product discharge. It has the advantages of high production efficiency, high precision and good stability, and is widely used in large-scale packaging production enterprises, which can meet the large-scale and high-quality production needs.

Flat die cutting machine

The die cutting principle of the die cutting machine is to cut the die cutting knife plate and the paper board in the middle through the upper and lower two plates. This die-cutting method has uniform pressure, can ensure the die-cutting accuracy, and is suitable for products with high die-cutting quality requirements, such as the production of fine cartons, greeting cards, etc. However, the production speed of the flat die-cutting machine is relatively slow, and it may be limited in high-speed production scenarios.

Circular die cutting machine

The rotary die cutting machine adopts two cylinders rolling each other, one of which is installed with a die cutting knife, and the die cutting is completed when the cardboard passes between the two cylinders. This die-cutting method is fast and suitable for large-scale production, but because it is rolling cutting, the die-cutting accuracy may be slightly inferior to the flat die-cutting machine, which is suitable for the production of carton and other products with not very high accuracy requirements.

3. Structure and working principle of printing slotting die cutting machine

Main structure

Feed system

The feed system is responsible for transporting raw materials such as cardboard to the inside of the printing slotting die cutter. It usually includes cardboard stacking racks, conveyor belts, suction devices, etc. The suction device can ensure that the cardboard remains flat and stable during the conveying process, and avoid the cardboard deviation or shaking affecting the subsequent processing.

Printing system

The printing system is one of the core parts of the printing slotting die cutting machine. For flexographic printing, including flexographic printing plate, mesh roller, ink tank, ink scraper and other components. The roller transfers the ink from the ink tank to the flexographic, the ink scraper removes the excess ink, and the flexographic prints the image onto the board. The offset printing system has key components such as plate roller, rubber roller and embossing cylinder, and completes printing through a complex ink transfer process.

Slotting system

The slotting system is mainly composed of slotting tool, tool holder and slotting adjustment device. The slotting tool is installed on the tool holder, and the parameters such as the position, depth and width of the slotting can be adjusted through the adjusting device to meet the needs of different carton and carton designs. Grooving tools are usually made of high-quality alloy steel with high hardness and wear resistance.

Die-cutting system

The die cutting system varies according to the different structure of the die cutting method. The flat die cutting system has an upper and lower template, the upper template is installed with the die cutter, and the lower template is a backing plate. The rotary die cutting system is to install the die cutting knife on the rotating drum. Die-cutting systems require precise pressure control and positioning systems to ensure the accuracy and stability of die-cutting.

Receiving system

The receiving system is used to collect finished or semi-finished products after processing. The utility model includes a conveyor belt, a stacking device, etc. The conveyor belt delivers the die-cut cardboard to the stacking device, which can neatly stack the cardboard to facilitate subsequent packaging and transportation.

Working principle

The working process of the printing slotting die cutter is as follows: First, the cardboard is transported to the printing unit through the feeding system, in the printing unit, according to the set printing pattern and color, the ink is transferred to the cardboard through the corresponding parts of the printing system. After printing, the cardboard continues to enter the slotting unit, and the slotting system performs slotting operations on the cardboard according to the preset size and position to prepare for the folding of the carton and carton. Then, the cardboard enters the die cutting unit, and the die cutting system cuts the cardboard according to the designed die cutting plate shape and processes it into the final product shape. Finally, the finished cardboard is collected through a receiving system. Throughout the process, the various systems are coordinated through the control system to ensure the accurate execution and seamless connection of each process.
