Definitions

  • the invention relates to a processing machine according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for operating a processing machine according to the preamble of claim 9.
  • Packaging is manufactured using web- or sheet-shaped materials.
  • the sheets are printed, embossed, creased, perforated, die-cut, cut, stapled, glued, and folded into packaging.
  • To optimally utilize the surface area of a sheet several identical or different copies, such as a poster, a folding box, or a package, are typically printed on a single sheet and then die-cut. These copies are referred to as a unit.
  • a processing machine can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, creasing, die-cutting, perforating, gluing, and/or stapling. Such processing machines often also feature inspection devices. Sheets are typically processed and trimmed in processing machines with form-bound die-cutting and cutting units.
  • Such a processing machine is, for example, designed as a punching, cutting, perforating, embossing, and/or creasing machine.
  • a processing machine is referred to below as a punching machine and/or die-cutting machine, this specifically includes a cutting, perforating, embossing, and/or creasing machine.

  • such a machine typically also has other units, such as a sheet feeder, a sheet delivery unit, a stripping unit, a sheet inserter, a blanking unit, and a remnant delivery unit.
  • a disadvantage of flatbed die-cutting technology is its limited speed. Currently, achievable speeds are around 10,000 sheets per hour. This limitation is due to physical principles and lies in the discontinuous movement of the sheet being die-cut. The sheet is brought to a standstill in each unit of the flatbed die-cutting machine and then has to be accelerated back to working speed for transport to the next unit. These braking and acceleration processes stress the structure of the die-cut sheet and therefore do not allow for higher processing speeds.
  • Rotary die-cutting machines allows for significantly higher production speeds due to the continuous motion process.
  • Rotary die-cutting machines can be equipped with modules such as a die-cutting unit, a creasing unit, an embossing unit, and a stripping unit.
