ROTARY DIE CUTTING

Rotary die cutting is like combining a cookie cutter with a rolling pin to efficiently create multiple and continuous shapes in a short period of time. Compared to flat bed die cutting, rotary die cutting is a more efficient process for cutting a high volume of material provided in roll form.

A roll of material, or multiple rolls of different materials, is fed through a press with a die station, where a rotating cylinder blade cuts it. The die rotates in conjunction with the material feed speed, ensuring the blades cut to exact lengths every time. Tight tolerances are achieved by servo motors on the press that maintain continuous registration of the material.

FLAT BED DIE CUTTING

Similar to using a cookie cutter to cut shapes from material, flatbed die cutting is a great way to cut through extremely thick material or material supplied in sheeted form.

Best for low-volume projects, or when a product is not conducive to rotary technology, flat bed die cutting is an economical process that stamps out simple shapes. After the cutting die is fabricated, it’s placed in a hydraulic or mechanical press. Matching slots beneath allow for a clean cut and easy removal of the finished piece. Tools can be changed out quickly for more flexibility.

LASER DIE CUTTING

Meeting the needs of critical applications, laser die cutting allows for precision cutting of flexible materials (foam tapes, rubber, laminates) and adhesives. The highly repeatable process enables the smallest details — holes, slots, fenestrations — to be accurately and cleanly cut.

Strouse uses two types of laser-cutting machines: a sheet-fed gantry laser that creates samples and small production runs at reduced production costs. A web-fed in-line laser cuts materials for larger production runs with higher throughput integrated into a multistation converting line.

DIGITAL DIE CUTTING

Tooling charges can quickly put a project on hold or even prevent it from getting started. Digital die cutting (a.k.a., tool-free digital converting) can quickly produce short runs of adhesive parts in custom sizes and shapes. Sample parts help engineers choose the right adhesive for their product designs.

Digital die cutting is preferred because of its minimal cost and commitment, tight tolerance, minimal design limitations, and the fact that no tools are required.
