In the realm of converting processes, traditional anvils have been a to-go option for nearly a century, providing reliability and consistency. However, the landscape of label industry has undergone a transformative shift in recent years.
While traditional anvils have stood the test of time, the introduction of innovative features such as digital controls, independent side adjustments, and the ability to adapt to various material challenges has drove the new generation of adjustable anvils into the spotlight.
This evolution marks a significant departure from the conventional, bringing in a new era of precision, efficiency, and adaptability in the converting process. In this dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation, businesses now face a choice: to adhere to the familiar or embrace the cutting-edge capabilities offered by adjustable anvils, marking a paradigm shift in die-cutting technologies.
In this article, we explore three main challenges printers face and what solutions using Rotometal’s Adapted Gap System technology can bring.
#1 – The Die
Challenge: Normal wear and tear inevitably dulls die blades over time.
Solution: Enabling precise adjustments to the cutting depth, as small as one micron. This extends the lifespan of the die, maintaining quality cuts even with minor blade dullness.
Immediate benefit to you: By making incremental adjustments, you can complete jobs before needing to send the die for resharpening.
#2: The Material
Challenge: Material supply chain disruptions and fluctuations in stock availability. Substitutions with comparable materials, necessitating a quick adjustment in the converting process.
Solution: Whether addressing variances in liner caliper or adapting to entirely new material requirements, rotoGAP provide the flexibility to adjust cutting depth across the anvil width.
Immediate benefit to you: A seamless switch between materials, allowing transitions without interrupting production. This adaptability ensures continuous operation, meeting the dynamic demands of your customers.
#3: The Swap
Challenge: Upgrading to advanced technology requires changes in the entire converting process and generating further costs.
Solution: Our adjustable anvils are designed for easy integration, allowing you to simply swap your existing anvil with minimal hassle.
Immediate benefit to you:
Enjoy the benefits of precision control, extended die life, and adaptability to diverse materials without the need for extensive reconfiguration.
