Quick Change Die System

     We have engineered a system to quickly and accurately change vinyl cutting tools. This reduces the lost time due to product changes and maintenance.

     This system starts with a carriage that is mounted in the press. The dies are easily removed and replaced and are securely held in place with pneumatic clamps. The entire system is connected to the accelerator cylinder for flying shear cut off operation. The carriage and die can be coupled to the press lubrication system, which lessens maintenance time. This system is a standard option for our own line of presses and has been adapted for use in most brands of presses used by the vinyl industry. The dies can also be supplied with rails to be used in end-load applications.

     Our dies have many features that bring a quick payback to the user. They have been designed to be both durable and light. The ease of adjustment and sharpening helps reduce the cost of maintenance. The use of high-speed steel for cutting edges extends tool life. Other die components are made from anodized aluminum, brass, or stainless steel to minimize corrosion.

     From panels to accessories, our dies are being used to cut many different shapes and profiles of extruded vinyl. Our panel dies use a laminated blade to provide a very clean cut improving the quality of the product. Our detab cutters are designed for ease of adjustment and prevent marking of the panel face. The slugless dies are ideal for accessory cutting. A dual or quad configuration can be used to cut several pieces at once or to avoid changing dies during a product change. Guillotine dies are ideal for panels such as soffit, which do not require an overlap notch.
