Rotary punching systems from Schober USA

Schober USA has launched rotary die technologies specifically geared to cut the thinner fibers used in today’s nonwoven products. Proven rotary tools provide high precision, long service intervals, and unmatched production speeds (up to 2300 feet/min). Available die/anvil materials range from D2 to tungsten carbide – with reduced or eliminated dust. 

The company said in a statement: ‘Rotary matched hardened metal punching tools for precisely sized holes can be retrofitted into most web processing machines. Depending on the web width a cantilevered design is also available which ensures convenient accessibility to simplify roll changes. Controls are intuitive and easy to reach. Mechanical or servo-drives are available, as are turnkey off-line punching solutions.’

Hot needle tools are available for use with nonwovens or thin gauge film materials, while cold systems are ideal for micro perforations. Systems are either web or servo driven.
