Automated Flatbed Die Cutting

Automated flatbed die cutting is an excellent choice for finished products larger than 13” (33.02 cm) in diameter and for thicker gasket materials not suited for a rotary press. The output of Preco machine, shown here, is up to ten times faster than traditional methods and can hold tolerances to +/- 0.005” (0.127 mm)

Transform your materials with the precision of flatbed die cutting

Flatbed die cutting is a specialized type of steel rule die cutting. CFS uses hydraulic presses with steel rule dies to perform automated flatbed die cutting services. This process runs parts quickly and can handle higher volumes at a lower production cost than other methods.  Flatbed die presses allow for very high precision cuts on materials over 1/8” thick – especially when paired with matched metal dies.

 

A variety of materials can be converted using flatbed die-cutting services. Examples include industrial adhesive tapes, silicone rubbers and sponge, EPDM, RN-8011, fish paper, Nomex, chipboard, VHB tapes, cork and cork/rubber, Poron and plastics. Products manufactured by CFS using flatbed die cutting include thermal pads for housing gaskets, insulating materials, vibration control spacers, seals and flexible vehicle parts.

Features of flatbed die cutting

Accuracy: Flatbed die cutting is known for its ability to produce parts with tight tolerances, ensuring each piece is identical, which is crucial in industries like electronics and medical device. 

 

Versatility: This process can handle a wide range of materials and thicknesses, from soft foams to harder materials. This makes it ideal for markets that require custom parts made from different substrates.

 

Ability to Customize: Dies can be customized to create complex shapes and designs that are tailored to specific industrial needs.

 

Efficiency & Flexibility: Flatbed die cutting can be scaled up for large production runs or adapted for short, custom jobs, offering flexibility to manufacturers. The process is designed to maximize material usage, producing clean cuts with minimal material waste, which is both cost effective and environmentally friendly. 

 

Common applications include packaging, electronics, medical devices, automotive. Examples of products that can be readily produced using this process include: custom packaging inserts, insulating materials, gaskets, electronic components, medical-grade adhesives, device components, seals and flexible vehicle parts.
