ADT introduces die cutting solution

American Die Technology has introduced a product that addresses two of the biggest headaches among converters in the narrow web industry: unwanted changes in the die cutting pressure, which can lead to short die life, material waste, inconsistent cuts and broken dies.

The product is a closed loop Electronic Pressure Control System that comes with a digital control panel.

Features

• Automatically maintains equal pressure across the web as conditions such as press temperature change

• Simple adjustments by typing in the desired pressure

• Offers a setting for ‘Maximum Pressure’ to turn off die cutting pressure when this set point is reached

• This automated function of turning off the cutting pressure is taken to the next level by offering a relay in the control that can be wired to the press Emergency Stop System. Therefore not only will the die pressure drop, the press will stop as well

• This controllable system is good in applications where the inspection is done at a down stream location. This allows the control to be positioned at that location where die cutting pressure can be changed without going to the die station area

• In custom machines, or those with extensive guarding, the control can be placed in an accessible operating area, and die pressure can be changed safely

System requirements supplied by customer

• Clean compressed air with 80 – 120 PSI

• Power: standard 110/120 V AC (other power source optional on request)
