Die-making

Made for professional die-makers

As a professional die-maker you're under pressure to deliver fast, accurate tools for increasingly complex packaging, within ever-more demanding lead times. High-quality, reliable, specialist equipment and consumables make all the difference - solving your problems, saving your time, and maximizing your profitability.

BOBST die-making solutions are made for you - a comprehensive range of equipment, consumables, and specialist CAD software, designed to help die-makers tackle more jobs, more effectively. Engineered to the highest quality standards, and packed with forward-thinking features such as automatic pin setting and CAD programming, BOBST is the expert choice for a full range of requirements - including dynamic stripping forms, blanking systems, and plotting and milling for multi-material use.

Equipment

BOBST die-making equipment is designed around the precise needs of today's die-makers - specified for maximum ease of use, accuracy, and sophistication , and enabling the rapid, complex production that satisfies the changing demands of converters and their customers.

Hybridsetter
The innovative Hybridsetter allows for 3D dynamic stripping tool manufacturing. The automatic setting of precise, high-quality CAD-programmed pin and claw layouts in a single operation. It saves time and lowers costs by eliminating the errors inherent in manual setting, and removing the need to laser or pre-drill conventional and dynamic stripping forms.

The system features eight pin magazines and three claw magazines for total versatility, and allows simple and easy switching between wood thicknesses and processes - significantly reducing manufacturing time.

Easysetter
Suitable for all materials, the Easysetter is designed for the quick and straightforward production of dynamic, high-performance upper stripping forms.

Working in combination with Impact CAD software, pins are selected automatically from up to eight magazines and anchored securely in the board, producing forms with high sheet outputs.

Masterplot
The multi-functional Masterplot plotting and milling machine is powerfully versatile. With a closed-loop ball screw system across all axes, it operates quickly and quietly, and thanks to its integrated vacuum tabletop and pump, holds materials forcefully, stopping material shift and guaranteeing totally precise cutting.

Masterplot features an automated tool changer, four tool stations and air-cooled 60,000 RPM spindle. These ensure it can be relied on to fulfil tasks and uses including sample making, die ejection rubber, make ready sheets, vinyls, coating blankets and phenolic counters.

Rubberplot
With a 7mm-stroke, 166Hz oscillating tool; axis speed of 25m per minute; and axis acceleration of up to 2.5m per second, the Rubberplot dedicated ejection rubber cutter is a powerful choice for die cutters, designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.

Quiet and maintenance-free with a closed-loop ball screw system, the Rubberplot is also extremely precise. Material shifting is eliminated thanks to an integrated vacuum tabletop and pump, and an ergonomic, space-saving design allows for uninhibited user operation, improving manufacturing speeds.

Grid Bender
Grid Bender maximizes the efficiency of blanking tool production, including measuring, bending, notching and cutting. Each station features an easy-to-use PC interface for rapid estimation, design and production of assembly-ready components, and can be networked directly within CAD, CAM and production systems to make operations even more efficient.

With manual and semi-automatic benders available – manual for low-volume or economical blanking tool production and automatic for fast, high-volume operations – Grid Bender equipment is designed to optimize die-cutter machinery. It dramatically increases the productivity of die-makers and helps them reduce costs for leaner manufacturing.

Angle Lock
Used in combination with Grid Bender equipment, the Angle Lock blanking tool system combines innovative design software with a uniquely simple and reusable blanking component structure. This allows for the setting up of intricate blanking arrangements – even while production is taking place.

Developed to improve cutting operation efficiencies through increased speed and accuracy, Angle Lock reduces waste, allows for rapid changeovers and guarantees die-cutting quality, greatly reducing production costs.

Consumables

BOBST offer a wide range of die-making consumables designed to improve the performance, efficiency and precision of cutting and stripping stations. All are designed to adhere simply and securely to forms - but can also be quickly replaced to keep production running smoothly. Proven to reduce component wear, they help drive down maintenance costs, while faultlessly processing materials to ensure that every piece of packaging is given a seamless finish.

BOBST die-making products streamline die production for the benefit of die-makers, converters and brands. If you would like to receive more information about the BOBST converting range, please contact our experts.
