Successful Installation of Two Large-Format Jaw Die Cutters: A Quantitative Leap in Productivity

The recent installation of two large-format die cutters in St. Louis, Missouri, has successfully optimized the production processes of a company dedicated to manufacturing cardboard point-of-sale displays, commonly known as "counter displays" or "POP Displays." These machines were chosen because they can die-cut digitally printed cardboard in large formats up to 1500 and 2500 mm wide.
 

Benefits

The company specializes in producing displays for major supermarket chains and stores, and with the arrival of these new die cutters, their production capacity has experienced an exponential increase. A cutting plotter can perform around 15-20 cuts per hour, while the die cutters can reach over 800-1000 cuts per hour, making them essential tools for meeting significant production demands in much less time.
 

It is essential to highlight that these machines have not replaced existing equipment but have been added as a critical enhancement. The company maintains a flatbed cutting machine for smaller runs, but the new die cutters can now handle more work in significantly less time. This investment represents a substantial improvement in productivity and responsiveness to large orders from retail chains, underscoring how crucial these machines are for the company's success.
 

The Installation Process

The installation of the die cutters went smoothly, and it was completed in just two days. On the first day, the machines were leveled, and initial tests were conducted to ensure proper functionality. In the following days, the technical team provided detailed instructions covering basic adjustments, operating parameters, and other necessary arrangements to get the machines up and running. Subsequently, a second three-day training session was offered to the operators, ensuring that the staff was fully prepared to use the new equipment efficiently.
 

It is common for electrical and pneumatic supply issues to arise during the installation of industrial machinery, as both are essential to getting the equipment up and running. Fortunately, no such issues occurred this time, allowing the process to proceed without interruptions. Royo Machinery ensures comprehensive support, providing thorough training to guarantee that operators fully understand the operation and maintenance of the die cutters, which brings us to the next step.
 

Maintenance and Proper Use

Die cutters require regular preventive maintenance to ensure optimal functionality over time. Since these machines are subjected to strong vibrations and numerous metal-to-metal contact points, proper lubrication is essential to prevent premature wear of components. Additionally, regular cleaning and correct machine use are recommended to ensure its longevity, which can be extended to 20 to 30 years if best operational practices are followed.
 

A Strategic Investment!

Incorporating these two die-cutters has been a highly successful investment for the company. Moving from outsourcing part of the work to producing internally not only improves delivery times but also provides greater control over product quality. Moreover, from a cost-benefit perspective, these machines represent a practical solution, ensuring the productivity and efficiency the company needs to remain competitive in its sector.
 

With the installation of these machines, the company has taken a solid step towards efficiency and sustainable growth, positioning itself better to meet market demands quickly and with high quality.

We wish them all the success!
