Services

Lifecycle services built around uptime

Application discovery, sharpening, on-press support, and lifecycle tracking so your pressroom stays predictable.

We baseline each job with application discovery and DFM, keep tools cutting with sharpening and repair, jump in with on-press troubleshooting, and log lifecycle data so you always know the condition of your tooling.

DFM for rotary die cutting

Application Discovery & Engineering Review

Application discovery sessions document substrates, liners, adhesives, and press data so the engineering review for solid and flexible dies starts with facts, not guesswork.

Our engineering-first team benchmarks the entire material stack—substrates, liners, adhesive calipers, cure states, and target speeds—before quoting. That DFM for rotary die cutting approach prevents surprises once the die hits the press.

Engineers model relief pockets, bearer loads, slug removal, and shim recommendations to determine whether a solid or flexible tool best matches the run length. We also capture gear data, anvil specs, and registration notes for faster changeovers.

  • Material and liner characterization with documented calipers
  • CAD/CAM review of dielines, kiss-cut depths, and tolerances
  • Recommendations covering solid vs flexible dies and support tooling

Rotary die sharpening services

Rotary Die Sharpening, Resharpening & Repair

Rotary die sharpening, rotary die resharpening service, and rotary die repair and retooling programs keep tooling on spec with rapid, transparent communication.

Incoming inspection confirms die serials, original grind data, and press history before we remove a single tenth. You receive updated run recommendations with every rotary die sharpening so operators set pressure correctly on the next install.

When a tool reaches end-of-life, our rotary die resharpening service outlines repair options—journal rebuilds, retooling, or full replacements—so you can plan spend before performance drifts. Emergency rotary die repair and retooling is available when a crash occurs mid-run.

  • Standard five-business-day turnaround with rush slots held for emergencies
  • Inspection data included after every grind, including diameter, TIR, and recommended pressure
  • Magnetic cylinder and flexible die retrieval programs to keep sets paired

Precision rotary die cutting support

On-Press Troubleshooting & Support

Phone, video, and on-site troubleshooting keep precision rotary die cutting lines running when materials or jobs change.

Our engineers review live press data, camera images, and slug samples to isolate whether pressure, adhesive buildup, or wear is causing issues. We can coach operators through adjustments over video or dispatch technicians when a hands-on visit is the fastest way to restore throughput.

Support also covers new product introductions—reviewing kiss-cut depths, adding vacuum, or tweaking anvils before the official launch. Operators receive annotated setup sheets so fixes are captured for the next run.

  • On-press troubleshooting playbooks for label, medical, and industrial lines
  • Recommendations for coatings, lubricants, and slug removal hardware
  • Option for site visits when phone or video support isn’t enough

Traceable tooling programs

Lifecycle Support & Traceability

Lifecycle support & traceability programs tie ISO documentation, inspection history, and resharpen plans together so every rotary die has a clear record.

We serialize every die, flexible tool, and anvil, then log inspection data, coatings, and sharpening intervals. That traceability feeds maintenance schedules, PPAP documentation, and purchasing forecasts so nothing gets lost between plants.

Customers can opt into reports that track run counts, resin or adhesive compatibility, and recommended replacements. When it’s time to retire a tool, you’ll know the lifecycle cost down to the penny.

  • ISO-documented inspection and serialization
  • Lifecycle dashboards covering dies, anvils, and support tooling
  • Blanket order and kanban options for high-volume programs
