Rotoflex has redesigned its DSI die cutting platform to have a smaller footprint responding to converter demand for more streamlined finishing workflows and increased productivity.
A powerful contributor to this redesign is the incorporation of servo drives into the platform. Smaller than the legacy AC vector motors, the new model has decreased the size of the power cabinet significantly.
The independently driven servo drives manage the unwind, die cut, matrix and rewinds, and are controlled by the proprietary Rotoflex URC 2.0 control system, ensuring precise tension control and enhanced accuracy in die cutting and slitting.
In addition to higher quality output, speeds are dramatically increased as well. The updated platform can now perform extremely accurate slitting and die cutting at speeds up to 305 m/min, a 30% increase over production speeds of legacy DSI models.
The updated design accommodates a variety of inspection systems and the die cutting unit can be disengaged for specific jobs, meaning it may be run as a slitter/rewinder or as a die cutter, accommodating more applications and job types.
