SDC Automatic Slitting Die Cutter Series

Our SDC combination slitting and die cutting machines are a cost-effective way to trim skin packaged products. These machines eliminate the use of individual steel rule dies for each different package configuration.

The SDC Series features an intermittent motion infeed conveyor to transfer skin boards to the die cutting and slitting area. Circular cutters running against a hardened steel roller are used to slit parallel to the movement of the skin board. A pneumatic press activates the cross-cutting perpendicular to the movement of the skin board. The interval at which this cut is made is programmable from the touch screen operator interface panel.

These automatic slitting die cutting machines utilize photocells and clear polycarbonate guards for operator safety. To prevent damage to the cross-cutting knife, the SDC Series machines also utilize photocells to detect products that may be in the cutting area.
