Flexible magnetic dies to die cut various substrates have been introduced by Rotoflex Tooling (a division of Rotoflex International) which are manufactured in Canada.
Earl Warren, the general manager of Rotoflex Tooling, explained: "With the increased demand for flexible dies, our customers need the shortest possible lead times.
Companies just can't wait weeks for a magnetic cylinder.
We now manufacture the magnetic cylinders in Canada, which results in faster service, reduced downtime and better value." He said that magnetic cylinders fit easily in to existing die stations and provide a cost-effective alternative to solid die replacement.
Using magnets that are placed around the circumference of the cylinder, a flexible magnetic die (or plate) can be used to die cut various substrates.
Warren continued: "This technique saves not just set-up time but it also saves money as a flexible plate is less expensive than a solid rotary die and can be produced quickl.".
