FLAT BED DIE CUTTING

Industrial and consumer goods are delivered to end users and commercial enterprises in adequate packaging. Packaging, especially folding carton boxes, offer protection for the product and also ensure that the goods are delivered safely. Over the last few decades we have seen a steady increase in the use of packaging as an advertising media to increase the product image as well as the corporation behind them. To ensure the required quality of the nished product cartons are processed on high precision converting machines. The applied method of at bed die cutting allows for high speed converting and accuracy of the packaging material. Cutting dies are hi-tech tools produced with the help of state-of-the-art automatic steel rule processors as well as laser and water-jet machinery. Basic requirement for optimum cutting results is the use of high precision cutting & creasing rules. BHLER is your reliable partner when it comes to steel rule competence. BHLER steel rules are 100% made in Austria/Europe!

BHLER CUTTING RULES

GENERAL INFORMATION
All necessary production steps from the selection of the best suitable raw material to the nished cutting rule take place in the unique production facilities of Bhler-Uddeholm Precision Strip in Austria/Europe. Specic operating procedures (cold rolling, heat treatment, edge machining, bevel hardening, ) using state-of-the-art production lines guarantee the production of cutting rules with optimal product features and properties. We carefully select our raw material suppliers. Perfect raw materials are the prerequisite for high quality steel rules.

PRODUCTION RANGE
Bhler cutting, scoring and label rules are separated into two main groups, illustrating the optimum properties for the respective applications:

Through-hardened Rules:
These rules have a uniformly high hardness on the cutting edge and in the body. Special heat treatment produces a particular grain structure and a soft, ductile outer skin, which facilitates the required bendability. The cutting edge is usually shaved (longitudinally worked), with a very high dimensional accuracy.

TOP
This all-purpose steel rule from BHLER offers good bendability and is suitable for low runs. Used for: Cardboard, corrugated board,

CUTTING RULES

for automated bending machines

Based on the high bending consistency of our present TOP and UNIVERSAL cutting rules, we have developed two rule qualities which offer absolute constant bending properties and are therefore ideal for use with automatic benders. TOP Auto-Flex UNI Auto-Flex Auto-Flex rules allow a variety of uniform bending shapes due to tightest production tolerances.

BHLER K-BACK
compensation back edge (K-back)

Cutting rules with at (rectangular) back eventually create problems when bending narrow angles because of the bulging effect on the cutting rule back. The unique BHLER K-back (compensation back) minimizes this effect and offers various benets: Minimizing of rule back deformation without broaching necessity (height compensation) Self levelling of the rule when high cutting force is applied. The rule back is attened slightly Knifes with round back execution t easier into plywood slots in comparison with square shaped rule backs

BHLER CUTTING RULES

TYPES OF CUTTING BEVELS

In order to meet with the various cutting applications, we offer the complete bevel range.

CF Centre Face (Centre Bevel)

CF
The CF-bevel is the most commonly used symmetric cutting edge for standard cardboard. Standard edge angle: 53 (others on request)

SF Side Face (Single Bevel)

This type of cutting edge is particularly suitable for cutting hard materials (gaskets, displays and close shapes). The minimum counter bevel facilitates a right angled, straight cut.

SF

CFDB Centre Face Double Bevel

This type of cutting edge reduces the cutting force required when cutting hard and/or thick materials, such as glass bre reinforced laminates, leather, cork, rubber, jigsaw puzzles, corrugated board, plastics, plywood, etc.

CFDB

SFDB Side Face Double Bevel

The SFDB prole offers the same advantages as the CFDB when cutting thicker materials. SFDB has the advantage that the substrate is left with a square 90 cut edge and all the distortion from penetration is left on the material waste. Not available in G execution.

SFDB

BHLER CUTTING RULES

CUTTING BEVEL FINISH

S: Shaved (drawn) Cutting Bevel
The standard nish of BHLER cutting rules is a precision drawn quality surface bevel. The prime benets are excellent bendability and rule height consistency.

G: Ground (sharpened) Cutting Bevel: (G)

For the efcient cutting of plastics, rubber, laminates and coated materials, a ground cutting edge has proven the best. For these applications we recommend our induction hardened cutting rules (UNI, UNI 60 and UNI 75) in ground edge nish. Ground nishing guarantees a sharper cutting edge resulting in cleaner cutting faces, less knife wear and therefore easier penetration into the cutting material, thus, reducing cutting force. For thermoforming jobs UNI 60 G is highly recommended.

P: Polished Bevel
Polished cutting rules combine the benets of shaved (drawn) and ground (sharpened) execution in one rule. The result is a very smooth (ne grain) surface offering: dust reduction less friction when the rule penetrates into the cutting material cleaner cutting faces improved bending properties in the rule top edge compared to ground execution rounding off the transition zone between cutting bevel and body

This execution is also available with polished double bevel (PL) in CFDB and SFDB.

BHLER CUTTING RULES

COATED CUTTING RULES

In general coated cutting rules provide several advantages such as reduced dust, longer tool life and less wear on rules and counterplates.

The Supreme cutting rule was originally developed for the label industry with the goal to restrict the build-up of adhesive on the cutting edge. This type of rule is now used successfully in a variety of applications. It has gained reputation for dust-reduction for boards with increased recycled bre content. Supreme-coating signicantly reduces mechanical wear and tear on the cutting edge thereby considerably increases the cutting die lifetime. In the same way the required press force is substantially lowered, which contributes considerably to extending the life of expensive automatic platens. Product Information: By means of a special process the cutting bevel of the Supreme rule is coated with a thin anti-friction-lm which lls the microscopically small pores and marks on the cutting edge and thereby adds to the smoothness of the bevel surface. Supreme coated rules are offered in Universal and Universal 60. Special Characteristics: dust-reduced cutting reduction of press force thus less wear on die cutting equipment reduction of friction between cutting edge and cutting material substantially increased service life of the die

SUPREME coating

soft, ductile

TINIT (TiN)
Tinit cutting rule bevels are coated with a thin TiN-layer of approx. 1 micron. The unique feature of TINIT coating is its extreme hardness of ~ 2400 HV based on a hardened cutting edge with ~ 640 HV. Bendability, body structure, cutting geometry and dimensions are comparable to our standard Bhler Universal rule. TINIT is available in shaved execution, in CF and CFDB (double bevel) and optional in Universal 60.

TINIT rule benefits: signicantly increased die lifetime higher efciency in the converting process increase in productivity due to fewer die changes higher wear-resistance on cutting edge same good bendability as uncoated rule less dust in cutting process

TINIT coating ~ 0,001 mm

soft, ductile

TEFLON
For sensitive applications we offer Teon coated rules on basis of BHLER UNIVERSAL. Teon coating reduces signicantly sticking effects in the die cutting process. Teon also supports anti-bacteria effects. Teon is available in 1.000 mm lengths.

PLASTIC-CREASE
Bhler Plastic-Crease is a special type of cut-crease rule to produce creasing lines in plastic sheet material (PET, PVC, etc.).

Conventional Creasing of Plastics:

Local reduction of folding resistance by decreasing the material thickness, no creasing matrix is used. Creased parts may bulge, which create problems in automatic folding and gluing machines. Hot-creasing technology gives better results, but is expensive. Creased plastic sheets may develop micro-cracks upon folding, visible as milky shades in the material.

Plastic-Crease:
Very localised reduction of folding resistance prevents micro-cracks and whitening of the creasing track. Plastic-Crease creates less material displacement, creased parts therefore remain at.
