Tips for Finding the Best Die Cutting Machine

January 29, 2016

The parts and control elements that rule the die cutting machine domain are characterized by an evolving line of mechanisms. They range from labour-intensive tools to computer managed engines with automated servos, but each model shares a common factor in this art-meets-mechanism vocation, a mutual capacity for accurately cutting large format shapes from various materials. In order to choose the system that suits your needs, cast an eye over these tips and use them in concert with your planned application to find your ideal match.

Drop the Crank and Embrace the Electronic Circuit

If you're a hobbyist with aspirations of making thread-thin cuts, select a machine that functions well for your chosen stock or stationary. Hand-cranked or powerful servo motors, the device needs to be able to cut accurately, and the operating pressure, preferably over 750 grams, has to apply the final cut without destabilizing the blade. Conversely, versatility is accuracies preferred partner when purchasing modern machines. Consider an electronic model and switch manual blades for the flexibility of a digitally configured cartridge.

Quality Ranks Above Features

It's so easy to find yourself dazzled by gimmicky features. The latest in die cutting machine mastery brings Bluetooth connectivity and other wireless functions. Cut through the technobabble and stick with quality. Use these new features, by all means, but not without studying the quality of the blade or cartridge system first. Also, does the machine sport a robust user base and a reputable customer service? These features should be every bit as unshakeably firm as the apparatus.

Don't Overextend

The latest and greatest computer powered models come armed with multiple fonts, press adjusting versatility, blade depth adjustments, and a score of other settings, but they may go far beyond what you need. Additionally, and this may seem to contradict your past experiences, heavy-duty steel rule cutters are more accurate than many of these digital contenders because they focus only on the quality of the cut shape, on producing an intricately embossed or cut shape from leather, paper, vinyl, and a huge selection of commonly used materials. In other words, computerized solutions offer plenty of options, but a focused project benefits from the backbone functionality of a high-load flatbed service.

Branding is important in this instance, but a logo isn't everything. Opt for a service that delivers the cutting power and accuracy required, a company or in-house die cutting machine that focuses on the final product first and adds auxiliary electronics and computer smarts as a handy secondary feature.
