FAQ: Cutting and Grooving Tools in Modern Manufacturing
What are rotary cutting and creasing tools, and where are they used?
Rotary cutting and creasing cylinders are high-precision specialty tools that enable die-cutting, cutting, perforating, and creasing directly as part of the continuous inline process of printing and finishing machines. They are primarily used in the packaging industry (e.g., for folding cartons and liquid packaging/beverage cartons) as well as in the production of labels and hygiene products, as they deliver precise results even at maximum machine speeds.
What materials can be processed using your cutting and creasing cylinders?
The cutting geometry and creasing profile of our tools are precisely tailored to the material you need to process. We manufacture cylinders for the smooth processing of:
Paper and cardboard (including folding boxboard and corrugated cardboard)
Plastics and films
Composite materials (such as those used in liquid packaging)
Nonwovens and flexible packaging
Are the tools custom-made according to our packaging layout?
Yes, custom manufacturing is our standard. Every cutting and creasing tool is custom-designed based on your specific CAD data, packaging layouts, and machine specifications. We take all details into account—such as cutting angles, gap dimensions, and creasing depths—to ensure smooth material flow and perfect stripping results.
Can dull or worn cutting tools be resharpened?
Yes, to maximize the service life of your tools and reduce your operating costs, we offer a professional repair and regrinding service. Dull cutting edges can be resharpened, and damaged profiles can be repaired. Through this regular reconditioning, the cylinders can almost regain their original service life and precision, making this a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to purchasing new ones.
