Do you have many repeat jobs? Purchasing a set of
"dedicated" male and female stripping tools from your
local die maker can greatly reduce repeat set-up and downtime on
your automatic die cutter.
It is worth noting that when using dedicated stripping tools,
it is sometimes necessary to carry out fine adjustments of the
upper stripping forme so that the stripping pins align correctly
with the die cut waste. This may mean unlocking and moving the
stripping tool, maybe a millimetre or less in the X or Y direction.
These small adjustments are difficult and result in increased
downtime.
The Heidelberg Quick lock system enables upper stripping
tools to be locked in place quickly and accurately. In addition, it
allows fine positional adjustment of the stripping/blanking tool in
both the X & Y direction without the need to unlock the tool
from the frame, which dramatically reduces downtime.
To make the most of the dedicated tooling the Heidelberg
Quick lock system offers simple and effective solution for our full
range of die cutters.
Available for the following Heidelberg automatic die cutters:
- Varimatrix 105
- Dymatrix 105 *
- Dymatrix 106 *
- Dymatrix 113 *
- Dymatrix 145 *
* Stripping and blanking Quick lock frames
