What are the characteristics of knife mold CNC engraving machine used in packaging industry?
The application of CNC engraving machine for knife die in packaging industry has become the key equipment to improve the quality and efficiency of packaging production with its accuracy, efficiency and flexibility. Its core features are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. The processing precision is high, which meets the requirements of complex packaging modeling.
In the packaging industry, many products (such as gift boxes, cosmetic boxes, special-shaped cartons, etc.) require extremely high cutting accuracy of knife dies, especially the designs with creases, hollows and special-shaped structures.
The CNC engraving machine is controlled by computer program, and the positioning accuracy can reach 0.01mm level, which can accurately reproduce the fine structure in the design drawings, ensure the smooth edge of the package after cutting by the die, and avoid problems such as burrs and dimensional deviation.
For the packaging that needs multi-layer bonding (such as the gift box with heaven and earth cover), the high-precision knife mold can ensure the alignment accuracy of each layer of materials and improve the exquisiteness of the overall packaging.
2. Wide range of applicable materials, covering the mainstream knife die substrate in the packaging industry.
The base materials of the packaging knife die are diverse, and the CNC engraving machine can adapt to the processing of various materials, without frequently changing the equipment;
Wooden knife mold: it is often used for packaging cartons and corrugated paper. The precision carving machine can quickly carve wood, and the incision is smooth, reducing the subsequent polishing process.
Plastic knife mold: suitable for soft packaging materials such as film and leather. The low-speed fine carving function of the precision carving machine can prevent plastic materials from melting or deforming due to high temperature.
Metal die (such as aluminum plate and steel plate): For the packaging with high hardness and high wear resistance (such as food can labels and cardboard gift boxes), the carving machine with special tools can realize efficient cutting and prolong the service life of the die.
3. High degree of automation, improving production efficiency.
Traditional die making relies on manual drawing and manual cutting, which has low efficiency and big error, while the automation of CNC engraving machine has obvious advantages:
Fully automatic process: from the import of design documents (such as CAD format) to the completion of processing, there is no need for manual intervention in the whole process, which reduces human error, and at the same time realizes 24-hour continuous processing and greatly shortens the production cycle.
Consistency of batch processing: For the same batch of packaging die, the carving machine can ensure that the size and structure of each product are completely consistent, which is suitable for the standardization requirements of large-scale packaging production.
4. Strong flexibility and quick response to personalized packaging requirements.
Nowadays, the packaging industry is paying more and more attention to personalized design (such as holiday customized gift boxes and niche brand packaging), and CNC engraving machines can quickly adapt to multi-variety and small-batch production modes:
Rapid production change: just modify the computer program, you can switch the processing schemes of different knife dies without readjusting the mechanical structure, and the production change time is shortened from traditional hours to minutes.
Support complex pattern carving: whether it is irregular curves, three-dimensional reliefs, hollowed-out patterns and other complex designs, the precision carving machine can accurately realize and meet the differentiated creative needs of packaging.
5. Reduce material waste and save production cost.
By optimizing the cutting path (such as nesting typesetting function), the CNC engraving machine can maximize the use of the base material and reduce the waste of the remaining materials, especially for high-priced materials such as metal and plastic, which can significantly reduce the raw material cost.
High-precision machining reduces the rejection rate in the trial cutting process of knife die, and indirectly reduces the material loss in packaging production (such as avoiding the scrapping of packaging materials caused by knife die errors).
6. Convenient operation, lowering the threshold of manual skills.
Traditional knife mold making requires high technical proficiency of workers, while the operation of CNC engraving machine is simpler:
Operators only need to master the basic CAD software and equipment operation flow, and then they can finish the processing of complex cutter dies, which reduces the dependence on senior technicians and saves labor costs.
Some high-end equipment is equipped with intelligent monitoring system, which can give early warning of machining anomalies (such as tool wear and material deviation) in real time and reduce the risk of production accidents.
summary
With the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency and high flexibility, the CNC engraving machine for knife dies perfectly meets the requirements of standardization, personalization and high quality in the packaging industry, which not only improves the quality and efficiency of making knife dies, but also provides technical support for packaging enterprises to cope with the rapid changes in the market. It is an indispensable key equipment in modern packaging production.
