Printing machinery manufacturing is the foundational industry of the printing sector, bearing dual significance for the development of cultural industries and printing processing.

We have long been committed to the R&D and production of printing & packaging machinery, sparing no effort to upgrade equipment precision, running speed and production capacity.

How much do you know about Daishi die-cutting machines? Today we will elaborate on the standard operating procedures for die-cutting machines.

1. Maintain Full Concentration

Stay focused during working hours, strictly comply with operating specifications and implement safe operation.

 

2. Accurate Positioning of Foam Strips

Ensure die-cut finished products match the template, and all patterns conform to layout requirements.

 

3. Template Placement

The cutting die must be mounted on the pallet. Adjust its placement angle according to actual production demands.

 

4. Fine-Tune Die-Cutting Clearance

Before adjustment, set the clearance between die-cutting shafts to a sufficiently large value. Synchronously turn the adjustment knobs on both sides based on paperboard thickness, and fine-tune step by step until the board is fully cut through.

 

5. Inspect Conveyor Belt

Check if the conveyor belt has proper, even tension before production startup.

 

6. Switch Between Automatic & Manual Die-Cutting Modes

Switch modes as required by production. When running in manual mode, maintain high alertness. Signal to other operators on the unit before every movement. When adjusting the travel stroke, pay attention to the worktable length to prevent the pallet from sliding off the table.

 

7. Pre-Start Preparation

Before powering on, check whether anyone is operating inside or outside the machine. Clear all irrelevant items off the worktable, and notify fellow operators prior to startup.

 

8. Safety Precautions

All staff shall cooperate closely and prioritize safety during operation. Do not touch any moving components with hands, avoid random button operation, and prohibit standing directly in the running path of the cutting die.

 

9. Trial Production

Conduct trial cutting before mass production. Continuously inspect multiple test pieces, fold them into finished shapes, and confirm compliance with standards before formal production. Keep observing the whole production process. Place materials with reverse side upward in neat stacks. Fold semi-finished products and conduct quality inspection every 5 minutes. Stop the machine immediately for adjustment once defects occur.

 

10. Regular Inspection

Frequently examine all components for wear or substandard conditions. Repair or replace defective parts promptly.

 

11. Machine Maintenance & Lubrication

Lubricate transmission gears on a regular basis.

Refuel sliding sleeves at both ends of the upper die-cutting shaft daily.

Overhaul rotating bearings every six months to one year, and fully fill them with calcium-based grease.

 

12. Keep Die-Cutting Shafts Clean

Wipe the lower shaft with machine oil frequently.

 

13. Pre-Startup Cleaning & Personal Hygiene

Wipe down the entire machine before switching it on, and keep hands clean. Clean up the surrounding area of the machine after production finishes.

 

14. Power Cutoff

Disconnect the main power supply after production is completed.

The above covers the full set of standard operating procedures for die-cutting machines.
