Several pieces of equipment are used for die cutting. There are three basic types of cutting equipment. The first is a small swing arm 'clicker' press that is ideal for embroidery shops. The second is a large 'traveling head' press, which is used for multiple cutting and roll cutting. 'Full head' press is the third type, and it is used for heavy-duty jobs. Additionally, 'up-acting' hydraulic platen presses are available for special applications such as cutting jigsaw puzzles, circuit boards and screen-printed material. Automatic die cutting equipment is excellent for cutting large-formats such as paper, labels, coupon books and plastic membership cards.

Other types of die cutting equipment includes clicker punch presses, both automatic and manual roll feed and beam presses. A trained professional is required to select the right die cutting equipment for the right job. For simultaneous scoring and die cutting, low-cost steel-rule dies are used. Hollow die cutting equipment is perfect to create small-format items such as labels that do not require scoring and embossing. For efficient running, this equipment needs expensive solid-metal dies made of high-quality steel. Modular designed die cutting equipment is the most flexible.

The main features of good die cutting equipment are high speed, ease to set up and user friendliness. ATOM S530BP CNC die cutting equipment is one of the most modern and versatile instruments for the cutting of both sheets and rolls. Its maximum speed is 90 strokes per minute and can save material from 15 to 35%. This special die cutting system is planned to replace three to seven existing traveling head die cutting presses. It is an ideal solution for saving both material and time.
