When using plastic coated rollers, the usage of the upper plastic cutting plate is not required and since the cutting force is distributed over a smaller area, it is also possible to punch thicker materials in this way.
Plastic coated cylinders can make the work much more productive, but there are some disadvantages to this solution:
- The positioning pins can be bent by the plastic cylinder, so it is advisable to use other positioning solutions (eg pieces of cardboard sticked on the ejector rubber). You can read more about positioning options in the Solutions to align cylinder die cutters to the printed printed pattern blog post.
- The punched sheets are not prevented from curling up, so they may jam under the safety cover. This error can be eliminated by lifting up the cover. Remove the protective cover and 4 pcs. M10 nut as a spacer, mount it with longer (M8x25) bolts or simply place it on top of the mounting bolts.
 |
| M10 nuts have been installed as spacers under the cover and the fixing bolts have been replaced for longer. |
 |
| The cover is removed from under the fixing screws and placed on them. |
