2. Complete die tool set from one machine
Dieboards
Counter plates(phenolic and thin plate)
Strippers
Blankers
Sample Making(folding carton, corrugated and PVC)
Flat Stamping and Embossing Dies
Dieboard Ejection Rubber(limited materials)
3. EXISTING INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS Manual Methods(Jig Saws)
Works, but needed improvements.
Labor Intensive, Inconsistent Quality
Slow Throughput
4. EXISTING SOLUTIONS(cont) Automated Methods
Laser Dieboards
Changed the industry. Good product, increased production.
For several years, represented THE dieboard standard
Why doesn’t everyone own a laser ?
Cost entry barriers
Not a complete Die Tool Solution
EPA Issues
5. LASER PROCESS Gerber is very familiar with lasers
Considered as part of our engineering efforts.
Limited material and process flexibility
Technology cost high
6. LASER DIECUTTING
7. LASER KERF
9. LAMINATION PROCESS Strong, fast acting adhesive. Non-toxic.
Powerful Vacuum Press, 12.77 psi.
15 minute cycle time
Un-attended Operation
10. GERBER DIEBOARD
Maximizes Steel Rule to Dieboard Contact Area.
Excellent:
Rule-holding
Verticality
Accuracy
Steel Rule ALWAYS supported by 3x kerf width.
11. Dieboard Summary
Excellent rule holding
3X Kerf Width at top AND Bottom
Patented cutting tool for fast cutting
2 pt @ 70 ipm
3 pt @ 110 ipm
4 pt, 6 pt and counters over 200 ipm
12. Counter plates
Precise Depth Control
Multiple materials and thickness
Easy change-over from plywood
Over 100 ipm cutting speeds
Dieworks Software calculations handle any size creasing channel widths
13. Strippers and Blankers
Consistency and Automatic Process
Topside chamfer to reduce snagging
Underside chamfer for stripping relief
Male and female strippers/blankers
15. THE GERBER PROFILE COMPLETE SYSTEM Die Works CAM software
Cutting table(53”x101” cutting area)
ATC(10 Tool Capacity and Spindle)
Vacuum pump(10 HP, 3 phase)
Vacuum press(Profile Press 24 or Profile Press 48)
16. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Small Footprint, Approx. 15’ x 21’ allows room for equipment and working space
Low maintenance
Table, Spindle and Vacuum Pump runs on 230 VAC 3 or 1 phase
Pneumatics for ATC and spindle cooling(110 psi @ 10cfm).
Environmentally Friendly
17. Potential External Purchase Considerations PC and CAD Design Software(This is a Must).
Die Works CAM Software does not have CAD design capability.
If you have CAD, does your staff need training on dietool design for counters, strippers blankers, etc.
Dedicated Compressor(Clean, Dry Air is a Must).
A Dedicated Compressor purchase may/may not be required
Depends on:
Existing air consumption
Desire to cut metals.
