Cutting Die Technology for Ultra-Thin Liners

Die station component accuracy must be validated as well, given the greater requirement to manage heat buildup. When the web is hot leaving the print stations, it will bring this heat to the cutting anvil, causing thermal growth. A rise in anvil temperature by as little as 20 degrees F can lead to diecutting problems. If bearers are not in good condition and well lubricated, they too can generate excess heat and thermal expansion. Solutions for cooling the web prior to the die station are recommended.
