Efficient processing of roll materials
9 April 2024
Schobertechnologies will be showcasing various die-cutting and slitting solutions at drupa in Düsseldorf. The company will be showcasing its solutions in the field of die-cutting, rotary, cutting and grooving technology.
Based on the worldwide success of the Schober RSM rotary cutting machine for inmould labels, the Schober team has decided to show its high-speed Twin Spider stacking technology for long and nested products live at drupa. The machine has special functions that enable the precise cutting and stacking of thin and flexible films, papers and lightweight cardboard. After cutting using a cutting plate, the products are transported safely into the non-stop stacking area so that they can be banded directly afterwards.
A unit with grooved plates for cardboard and materials with barrier properties will also be on show. In addition to the robust design and adhesive force of the magnets, the unit has several quick settings to minimise the set-up time. For high quantities in the tobacco industry, Schober offers either all-steel or segmented rotary tools with interchangeable segments. Depending on wear resistance and tool life, a wide range of materials is available. From tool steel (SuCR) to powder metallurgical steel (LL) and tungsten carbide (TC). For 3-dimensional products, such as blister packs for toothbrushes, tool designs in pocket shape are available.
Rotary punching technology is suitable for parts that are too small for punching. Visitors are invited to experience the RSR rotary die-cutting machine for processing rolls of technical film directly on site. Machines for the subsequent lamination and further processing of multi-layer products will also be on offer. The RSR is able to punch small holes - round, rectangular or with special shapes - and remove the waste particles cleanly and safely. The rotary punching technology is suitable for processing speeds of up to 800 m/min with a working width of up to 1,800 mm - especially for large series in the liquid packaging industry.
In the area of speciality paper processing, Schobertechnologies will be exhibiting a die-cutting unit for parking, airline and event tickets. The robust unit design is also used for punching corners for tea tags and tea bags. In such cases, an integrated cutting system increases register accuracy and process stability when separating the material web. For visitors who are still unsure which cutting technology is best suited to their product, Schober will be showing a selection of different technologies. Whether crush cut, shear cut or blade cut - everything will be clearly presented in a display.
