Use magnetic roller and flexible blade FAQ
Q: Can the flexible blade be used for cutting all the wear?
A: Although not the most ideal usage, many customers choose flexible blades for cost savings or fast delivery times. The flexible blade can be used not only to cut the dashed line, but also to cut the entire in-mold label. Of course, in addition to life, we must also consider the issue of waste. The engraving round knife can be made into a pneumatic or air suction round knife, but if the magnetic roller itself is standard without any air or air suction device, the flexible blade can cut small holes or small grooves (any size less than 6mm) Shape) There is a problem with waste disposal. Solutions that can reduce the problem and increase the likelihood of success include: filling the waste with a thin foam in the blade, or making the blade high to make the discharge of the foam shrink and expand more effectively.
Q: What is the difference between the cutting material of the flexible blade and the engraving round knife?
A: Flexible blades can be used to cut most of the self-adhesive surface materials, including paper film, and can also be used to cut thin cardboard. However, due to the problem of short cutting edges, there are limitations in cutting thick cardboard and foam materials. For cutting hard aluminum or iron sheet materials, the life of the engraved round knife has its inherent weakness. However, since the flexible blade is completed by CNC without any manual repair, the trace on the bottom paper has an overwhelming advantage over the hand-carved engraving knife. The flexible blade has the application in cutting the self-adhesive material. Its absolute advantage.
Q: What kind of information is required to order flexible blades?
A: 1) model of the rotary machine; (2) data of the magnetic roller, including the number of gear teeth, the diameter of the shoulder and the body of the roller; (3) the pattern of the cutting shape, note that the cut line diagram to be provided is the finished product after die cutting The shape of the figure, not the actual stencil on the line drawing. If the circular die-cutting is placed on the material, the shape of the finished product on the actual die plate is mirrored after the die-cut; (4) the details of the material to be cut. There are several ways to tell the supplier the details of the material: (a) the material supplier's number and bill of materials, (2) the type of facial and base paper, the thickness of the tissue and the backing paper, (3) Material to the mold supplier.
Q: What to check after receiving the ordered flexible blade
A: In order to ensure that everything runs smoothly when you are on the machine, you should check whether the external packaging is intact after receiving the ordered flexible blade. Then remove the blade and check that the inner packaging is intact. Verify the supplier test results provided with the knife and see if the cutting shape, die-cutting effect, and cutting marks on the liner are ideal. It is best to open the package and carefully check that each blade is as good as it was when it was shipped from the factory. Re-package the inventory after checking that everything is correct, and it is ready for use.
Q: Can the flexible blade be repaired after it is worn?
A: In most cases, it is not possible. In addition to the above mentioned, a thin layer of paper is applied to the bottom of the stencil, and the film is coated with a layer of ink for temporary adjustment. If you return to the original factory, you can also do a slight repair of the blade, but it is not recommended under normal circumstances, because the flatness of the blade cannot be guaranteed, and the trace on the liner after cutting is difficult to ensure uniformity.
Q: How to maintain and rust the flexible blade?
A: The flexible blade should be cleaned of ink, adhesive and any other impurities on its surface after use. Rotley flexible inserts have been introduced to Europe's popular surface treatments, with special chemical components that can be used for rust prevention, and have been resistant to rust in most cases. However, due to the wear of the surface coating treatment during die cutting and the possible back grinding, it is recommended to spray a little WD40 even after use and cleaning, and then seal the package to achieve the purpose of complete rust prevention.
Q: How is the flexible blade packaged and placed?
A: Most flexible blades require edge bending, especially for small-sized magnetic rollers, which may require full bending. Therefore, the packaging of the flexible blade is mostly packaged in a tube, and the user sprays the rust preventive agent on the flexible blade after use, and seals it with a plastic bag, and puts it back into the tube package in a roll form. It can also be packed in a plastic bag and then placed in a straight suspension.
