What is an automatic die cutting machine?
It’s a high-efficiency industrial machine that automatically cuts, creases, and punches various sheet materials (like paperboard, corrugated board, or plastic) using custom-made steel-rule dies. It integrates feeding, positioning, cutting, stripping and stacking in one automated process, some special made model also equipped with heating plate for plastic materials etc. The size from small model such as 800 x 600mm to big model size 2100 x 1600mm, with various options.
What’s the difference between automatic and manual die cutting machines?
The fully automatic flatbed die-cutting machine efficiently processes materials with advanced technology, while the manual die-cutting machine relies on hand-feeding and is less efficient. The manual type also poses higher safety risks, especially for inexperienced operators.
Below is a comparison between the two types of machines:
| Features | Automatic | Manual |
| Feeding | Auto feeder (pneumatic/vacuum) | Hand-fed |
| Delivery | Automatic stacker | Manual removal |
| Waste stripping | Inline stripping (optional) | Manual stripping |
| Speed | 3,000–9,000 sheets/hour | 500–1,500 sheets/hour |
| Labor | 1 operator | 2-3 workers |
| Precision | ±0.1mm (with servo control) | ±0.5mm |
| Safety | Fully guarded with safety sensors | Higher risk of injury |
