What Is a Creasing Cutting Machine?
A Creasing Cutting Machine is a die-making machine used to process steel rules for cutting dies.
Unlike an automatic rule bending machine, it does not bend the steel rule.
Depending on the machine configuration, it can perform several processes, including:
Creasing Cutting Machine vs. Auto Bender
The main difference is simple:
A Creasing Cutting Machine processes and cuts steel rules, but does not bend them.
An Auto Bending Machine can bend steel rules into the required shapes and can also perform additional processes such as Cutting, Bridge, Lipping, Nicking and other functions depending on the model.
Do You Still Need a Creasing Cutting Machine If You Already Have an Auto Bender?
If you already have an automatic rule bending machine, you may wonder whether it is still necessary to invest in a separate Creasing Cutting Machine.
For die makers producing folding carton and corrugated packaging dies, the answer is YES, especially when a large number of creasing rules need to be processed.
1. Process Creasing Rules While the Auto Bender is Bending
In carton and box die making, many creasing rules need to be prepared along with the cutting rules.
With a separate Creasing Cutting Machine, the two machines can work at the same time:
Auto Bender → Bending Cutting Rules
Creasing Cutting Machine → Processing Creasing Rules
This allows different operations to be carried out simultaneously, reducing waiting time and improving the overall workflow.
2.Faster Processing of Straight Cutting Rules
A Creasing Cutting Machine can also be used to process straight cutting rules.
For straight rules, it can be faster than an automatic rule bending machine because the feeding stroke is shorter.
Since no bending operation is required, the machine can quickly feed and cut the rule to the required length.
This makes it especially efficient when a die contains a large number of straight cutting rules.
3.Produce Customized Perforation Rules
The use of perforation rules is becoming increasingly common in packaging production.
As packaging requirements become more diverse, packaging printing companies often need non-standard perforation rules that are difficult to purchase as standard products.
Custom-made perforation rules can also be expensive and may require longer lead times.
With a Creasing Cutting Machine, die makers can produce perforation rules in different specifications in-house.
The Perforation width can be set directly in ADEWO software, allowing the machine to produce different perforation specification according to the die design.
The minimum Perforation width can be 1 mm, providing greater flexibility for customized perforation applications.
This allows die makers to:
4. Produce Complete Cut Crease Rules
A Creasing Cutting Machine can also process cut crease rules, which can be useful for packaging die making.
Some die makers combine separate cutting rules and creasing rules to create a cut crease.
However, this requires additional manual assembly, takes more time, and the joined rules may become loose during production.
Using a complete cut crease rule can simplify the process and provide more consistent dimensions and positioning.
For die makers producing a large number of packaging dies, this can help:
5. More Functions for Different Die-Making Applications
In addition to Cutting,Bridge,Lipping,Perforation and Cut Crease processing, the ADEWO X1E PRO Creasing Cutting Machine can also be configured for other die-making applications.
One important reason why more die makers are choosing this machine is its ability to process stripping rules up to 50 mm high.
For manufacturers producing stripping dies, this provides greater flexibility and allows more rule-processing work to be completed in-house.
If you are producing stripping dies and looking for a machine that can handle both standard rule processing and higher stripping rules, the ADEWO X1E PRO is a solution worth considering.
Why Choose ADEWO's Creasing Cutting Machine?
ADEWO has a strong connection with the die-making industry.
The founder of ADEWO also has a background in die making, and the first machine developed by ADEWO was a Creasing Cutting Machine.
From the earliest machines with basic cutting and bridge-making functions to today's X1E PRO, ADEWO has continuously developed the machine based on real die-making requirements and customer feedback.
Today, customers can choose and combine different tools according to their specific production needs.
The improvements are not limited to the machine structure.
The tooling system and software have also been continuously upgraded to make the machine more flexible and easier to use.
What's New in the X1E PRO?
The latest X1E PRO Creasing Cutting Machine includes several improvements designed for modern die-making production:
These improvements allow the X1E PRO to handle a wider range of die-making applications while making daily production and tool changes more convenient.
