Press compatibility & setup
Tsukatani flexible dies drop into the most common inline and offline converting platforms. Use a Tsukatani magnetic
cylinder (up to 1,050 mm length / 250 mm diameter, ~900 mm face, 2200 Gauss), hardened anvils, and tightened
side-to-side run-out for best mixed-depth control.

Tsukatani magnetic cylinders (up to 1,050 mm length / 250 mm diameter, ~900 mm face, 2200 Gauss) and magnetic plates are available, along with load-cell-equipped units and bench test modules.
Best practices
- Zero out magnetic cylinder runout to <0.005 mm before loading dies.
- Match anvil hardness (60+ HRC) to maintain kiss-cut consistency.
- Log press speed, substrate, and liner thickness for future reorders.
- Verify magnet strength on legacy cylinders; Tsukatani spec calls for 2200 Gauss.
- Use load-cell-equipped units when possible to record pressure and repeat it on future runs.
- Use light dry lubricant on the cylinder face only if static becomes an issue.
Troubleshooting cues
- Adhesive tailing? Request Tsukatani’s TS coating option and clean the anvil between rolls.
- Overcuts on fragile liners? Request the mixed-depth series (different height edges / micro-perf) with the 0.2 mm gap ceiling.
- Registration drift? Verify die-to-die shim packs and re-square the magnetic cylinder.
