Only a few manufacturers produce very large quantities of web-shaped materials or labels in the millions. They have specialized in this size range and invested in appropriate machines. This enables them to achieve very low unit costs, but only for correspondingly large orders. Most converters are medium-sized companies that mainly work in niches. For them, converting machines have to be one thing above all: reliable, inexpensive and flexible to use.
When we as consumers pick up a carrier bag with a handle made of paper or film, very few of us are aware that the strip of material from which the handle is made is most likely on a die-cutting or cutting machine was created. The highway user in Austria becomes more aware of this when he removes the famous "sticker" from the silicone paper and sticks it on the windshield. The term "stamped part" becomes very tangible. But who would have any idea that, from a manufacturer's point of view, even supermarket receipts are a web-shaped material that has to be cut to the right width.
However, most web-cut products or die-cut parts disappear almost "invisibly" during further processing. The seam sealing tape in rain protection clothing or double-sided adhesive die-cut parts in electronic devices are not likely to catch the eye of the observer. The quantities or running meters required are often not so enormous that one or two orders are enough to keep a production facility busy. Further processors such as label manufacturers or contract processors with slitting and rewinding machines usually work in niches with smaller, but no less lucrative orders. Precisely for these users of Cutting systems and die-cutting machines, CMC Maschinenbau from Frankenthal offers a large number of different machines.
The distinction between the products in the EASYline series and the PROFIline series makes it possible to make a specialized decision based on the task at hand. While the PROFIline systems are intended more for series production as the main production system (cutting widths up to over 3,500 mm, for example), the EASYline machines, which are easy to learn and available from as little as 12,000 euros, are also suitable for small jobs. They can be used flexibly for many different products such as paper, plastic films, thin metal foils, rubber or fabric. The very short set-up times allow efficient use even for small orders.
Converters, label and die-cut part manufacturers and film processors benefit from the favorable price of the machines. CMC Maschinenbau uses series machines from large, well-known manufacturers and converts them to European safety standards. If necessary, parts of the drive technology, control system and electrical equipment are also replaced with easily retrievable components.
The robust and mechanically reliable die-cutting and Rewinding slitting machines can be easily integrated into a manufacturer's machine park in this way. Start-ups or newly established departments also benefit from the low price of the conversion solutions, a very fast learning curve and flexibility. So that the focus is on the product and not on production.
