Die-cutting machines for the industrial sector
CMC Maschinenbau GmbH

The die-cutting of plastic films, textiles or other web-shaped materials is one of the most important processing steps in the industry. Countless shaped and die-cut parts, labels or adhesive labels are only created through die-cutting - whereby accuracy and speed are often important parameters. Both have an influence on the price of the finished die-cut part and the die-cutting machine. However, CMC Maschinenbau proves that it is possible to achieve an economically sensible machine solution without exorbitant investments.

Based on series-produced automatic die-cutting presses and rotary die-cutting presses, these die-cutting presses are converted by CMC Maschinenbau for the European market. The advantage: proven technology, favorable price and compliance with all legal and normative requirements (e.g. CE conformity confirmation).

Die-cutting machines are used in many industrial sectors. Primarily in the label industry, where countless self-adhesive films, fabrics and composite materials are processed into decorative, sealing or labeling die-cut parts. However, stroke and rotary die-cutters are also used in leather processing, tarpaulin production, advertising, the packaging industry and electrotechnical applications. The requirements placed on the die-cutting machines differ considerably in some cases. This is why the die-cutting machines offered by CMC Maschinenbau also differ in key respects:

  • Maximum possible die-cutting format

  • Die-cutting process (continuous/discontinuous)

  • Die-cutting speed

  • Maximum die-cutting pressure/height

  • Number of die-cutting heads

  • Accuracy of the die-cutting

From simple die-cutters to automatic die-cutting machines - CMC Maschinenbau has the right machine for every task. You can choose between flat die-cutters (stroke die-cutters) and rotary die-cutters, with or without a cutting unit, with or without a laminating station. 

The robust machines in the EASY and PROFIline series are easy to operate after just a short training period. The die-cutting speed for roll-to-roll or roll-to-single part rotary die-cutters is higher than for discontinuous stroke die-cutters due to the process. On the other hand, higher die-cutting forces can be generated for thicker or harder materials with reciprocating die-cutters. The tool costs are also usually significantly lower than for rotary die-cutting tools (die-cutting cylinder, die-cutting plate). On the other hand, continuous rotary die-cutting machines achieve a significantly smaller repeat difference than stroke die-cutters (distance between two die-cuts). 


CMC Maschinenbau is happy to help you select the right die-cutting process and the right die-cutting machine. In any case, the customer receives a comparatively favorable price for a robust, reliable system. This means that the amortization period for CMC Maschinenbau die-cutting presses is usually very short, but the service life of the machines is very long.
