The PRECISION PRESS is a high-precision, industrial-grade hydraulic flat-bed die cutting press designed for thermal die cutting applications. It uses a heated platen with thermally etched dies to precisely cut, kiss-cut, or heat-seal materials(such as films, foils, laminates, or other substrates requiring controlled heat and pressure).

1.1.  Core Press Design

This is a robust two-platen pull-down hydraulic press featuring: Adjustable cutting pressure and dwell time for optimized performance on various materials.

¨           Proportional hydraulic pump control for faster cycle speeds, smoother operation, and improved responsiveness.

¨           A sturdy structural steel tubing frame.

¨           Stand alone hydraulic power unit for ease of maintenance.

¨           Touch-screen interface for intuitive control.

¨           Adjustable stroke length and dwell timer.

¨           Two-hand anti-tie-down controls for operator safety.

¨           Comprehensive safety features: photo-optic interlock, clear Lexan guards (end, side, and back with hinged switch interlock), self-diagnostic safety system.

¨           Additional productivity and monitoring tools: automatic sheet counter, hour meter, heated platen for thermal dies, and dedicated cutting plate.

1.2.  Four-Corner Stop Blocks

A key precision enhancement:

¨           Four adjustable stop blocks provide exact control over the upper platen's stopping position during the cutting cycle.

¨           Allows fine-tuning of cutting pressure distribution — front-to-back, side-to-side, or even at individual corners — in ultra-fine increments of 0.0001" (0.00254mm).

¨           The press plate is engineered to handle these adjustments without permanent deflection or damage, ensuring long-term flatness and repeatability.

1.3.  Automatic Feed Table

This significantly boosts efficiency and operator safety:

¨           Powered,automatic feed table for loading/unloading material sheets.

¨           The press opens only enough for the table to move in and out, minimizing cycle time and maximizing throughput.

¨           Operator stays clear of the platen area during operation.

¨           Aluminum construction with a hinged cutting plate.

¨           Adjustable extension distance, travel speed, and dwell time (for loading wait periods).

¨           Safety photo eye on the leading edge: if obstructed during extension, the table automatically retracts to prevent collisions or jams.

1.4.  Controls

¨           Modern,user-friendly system:

¨           Allen Bradley PLC-based touch-screen control console on a swing-arm mount (positioned near the material/web entry area).

¨           Allows adjustment of key parameters: speed, increment length, dwell time, setup mode,and switching between sheet or web (continuous) processing modes.

¨           Built-in self-diagnostics for troubleshooting and maintenance.

1.5.  Overall Benefits:

The PRECISION PRESS combines precision thermal die cutting with automation and safety, making it ideal for high-volume production where consistency, repeatability, and minimal operator intervention are critical. The proportional hydraulics, fine stop-block adjustments, automatic feed table, and advanced PLC controls enable faster cycles, reduced material waste, better die life, and enhanced safety compared to manual or basic hydraulic presses. This setup is particularly suited for applications requiring heat-assisted cutting/sealing, such as packaging, electronics, gaskets, labels, or specialty materials processing.
