Precise and lightweight. Cutting-die solidplate|alu from Marbach.
We have recently launched an aluminium version of our popular solidplate tool. This special dieboard is impressive due to its dimensional stability and low weight. The solidplate|alu demonstrates its advantages especially with large folding box formats.
The solidplate|alu consists of 3 layers: Two aluminum cover plates enclose a center layer of secondary material (solidplate core) from above and below. This special material combination ensures high (dimensional) stability and low weight.
When die-cutting, precision is of the essence, especially for large formats. The larger the tool, the greater the effect of the smallest dimensional tolerances. Tool weight is also a factor that should not be underestimated.
Marbach industry manager Bernhard Reisser: "By using aluminum instead of steel, the solidplate|alu is not only very precise, ensuring high productivity and the best die-cutting results in packaging production, but it is also lightweight and thus easy to handle. Another great additional benefit: the lower weight reduces transport costs."
The solidplate|alu is a dimensionally stable dieboard that is characterized by its good hygroscopic properties, an optimal register to steel counter plate and durability, as well as the possibility of a high number of reknifings. In addition, the ejector rubber on the solidplate|alu can be replaced very easily thanks to the existing metallic cover plate.
