Paperfox TF-3 hook and loop fastener cutter

 I have already built several types of velcro cutters.

 In this device the belt is transmitted electronically with a stepper motor and the cutting is performed by a fast pneumatic cutter.

The parameters of the device are programmed using a smart phone.


The device is suitable not only for cutting velcro, but thanks to its robust construction, it can also be used for cutting other tapes that are even more difficult to cut.

Paperfox R-50 kiss cutter

 It is not easy to remove the backing from a self adhesive label. You don't have to buy a kiss cutting machine, with this simple kiss cutting device you can slit the backing paper without hurting the self adhesive material.



This device uses a standard KT-1 knife holder and an RK-1 kiss cutting knife.




Paperfox RT-1 Tape dispenser with sharper knife

 We've made a modification on our RT-1 Tape dispenser.

This sharper knife can used in the old version RT-1 as well, but also the blade holder profile should be changed to this aluminium "L" profile.

Book joint forming press

We have made a book joint forming press with 1m width.
Unfortunately I do not have such a book that has a 1m long spine,  my largest book is much smaller than the device.

The temperature of the heated joint forming bar is regulated and can be set digitally.


So far it is the largest joint forming machine that I have made, although I have already produced a few.

E.g. here is a foot operated joint forming machine:

Plastic profile taping machine

One of our latest developments is the cable duct adhesive taping machine.


You can place self adhesive tape up to 25x25mm cable trunking profiles or any similar profiles.



Electric edge protector cutter

The Paperfox EVV-3 edge protector cutter is a successful product of ours.

As a result of our customers' suggestions we tried to make a pneumatic version.
Unfortunately the pneumatic version was not strong enough and it wasted a lot of air.

So we started to develop an electric device:



The device works well, maybe I'll build an automatic feeder for this machine.

Do you have any suggestion?

Plastic coated cylinders for the Paperfox cylinder die cutters

On the Paperfox H-1, H-2, and H-500A cylinder die cutters, plastic cutting plates must be placed under and over the punching tool, as shown in the video below.


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.
