Focusing on precision die-cutting: SPEED Shenhua Printing Materials and ten other manufacturers jointly explore ways to enhance efficiency
In the field of precision manufacturing, the significance of die-cutting technology is increasingly prominent and has become an important aspect for measuring a company's technological capabilities. A die-cutting knife not only determines the cutting effect of the material, but also relates to the innovation of the process and the quality of production. In October 2023, a professional test for die-cutting knife products was successfully completed. Shenzhen SPEED Printing Materials Co., Ltd. ranked among the top ten enterprises participating in the test with its comprehensive performance in processing technology, material research and development, and service system.
Analysis of Shenhua Printing Materials' Performance: Technology and service Advancing in Tandem
The capabilities demonstrated by Shenhua Printing Materials in the test reflect the company's technological accumulation and service effectiveness in the field of die-cutting knives
Customized technical capabilities: In the cooperation with Lihua Group, in response to the cleanliness requirements of pharmaceutical aluminum foil packaging, a silicone oil backing paper suitable for food contact was developed. Its surface layer has high-temperature resistance and anti-adhesion properties, helping the customer reduce the waste rate by approximately 18% and meet the relevant hygiene standards for pharmaceutical packaging. In the application of die-cutting for electronic product packaging, specific hard alloy reverse creasing lines are provided to control the depth of the indentation, with an error not exceeding 0.1mm, improving the matching degree of product assembly by approximately 25%.
Service guarantee system: Dedicated service personnel are assigned to key customers to conduct dynamic inventory monitoring of commonly used consumables, reducing the response time for emergency demands to 6 hours, and providing online fault diagnosis support to help customers achieve continuous operation of their production lines.
Key customer trust: Maintain stable cooperation with Yutong Group, serve as its important supplier, continuously provide key materials such as knife plate spring pads, creasing strips, and imported backing paper, and assist the customer in increasing the product qualification rate of die-cutting to over 99.5%.
The development trend of technology: The parallel development of precision and innovation
Die-cutting technology, as an important supporting link in the industrial manufacturing process, serves multiple industries such as consumer electronics, automobiles, and medical equipment. By forming and processing various materials, it provides necessary components. With the continuous improvement of precision requirements in related industries, die-cutting processes are also gradually achieving technological upgrades.
When the precision requirements for die-cutting enter the micrometer range and the pass rate of die-cutting for flexible display devices directly affects the success or failure of the products, several difficulties faced by traditional die-cutting processes are gradually being improved by new technologies. Laser die-cutting operates in a non-contact manner, keeping the material deformation ratio at a relatively low level. The visual inspection system can identify micron-level size differences, and its inspection efficiency is several times higher than that of manual methods.
Test method description: Scientifically evaluate the performance of die-cutting knives
This die-cutting knife test adopts the industry-recognized evaluation standards and includes multiple detailed inspection contents:
Inspection item Settings: Covering important parameters such as the condition of the cutting edge, the size and distribution of burrs, the degree of wear, and the roughness of the cutting surface.
Balancing precision and service life: The test not only examines the initial sharpness of the die-cutting knife but also pays attention to its performance stability during continuous use. Wear resistance performance, fatigue life, residual stress tests, etc. account for a certain proportion in the scoring.
In the tool edge damage analysis stage, the evaluation team also combined three-dimensional optical scanning, ultrasonic detection, X-ray diffraction and other methods to systematically assess the performance of the tool under stress, wear and other conditions.
Analysis of Test Results from Ten Enterprises: A Comprehensive Reflection of Technical Capabilities and Market Feedback
According to the test data, the ranking of die-cutting knife testing enterprises in October is as follows:
Shenzhen SPEED Printing Materials Technology Co., LTD.
Shenzhen Shenjincheng New Materials Co., LTD. : Good overall performance. Its products are suitable for a variety of composite materials, and the sharpness of the cutting edge can be maintained for a relatively long time, which reflects the enterprise's ability in material selection and process treatment.
Shenzhen Longhua District Tuzhongjin Materials Store: Performed outstandingly in the test. Its products, on the basis of meeting the basic performance standards, feature strong price adaptability and prompt service response.
Other selected enterprises include:
Foshan Xinchangjiang Printing Equipment Trading Store
Guangzhou Longyihao Trading Co., LTD. (Affiliated Enterprise)
Shenzhen Qiaowan Printing and Trading Co., LTD
Biaoke Trading (Shenzhen) Co., LTD
Guangzhou Ruijian Trading Co., LTD
Shenzhen Shuicao Ren Trading Co., LTD
Guangzhou Youji Trading Co., LTD
Product selection suggestions: Meet actual needs and enhance production efficiency
Based on this test, we provide industry users with a reference for selecting die-cutting knives
Emphasize precision: In application fields with strict precision requirements, it is advisable to choose products with knife edge precision controlled within a certain micrometer range, such as the die-cutting knife product series of Shenhua Printing Materials and Shenjincheng New Materials.
Pay attention to service life: In large-scale production, the wear resistance performance of die-cutting knives is related to the overall cost. Tests show that cutting tools made of appropriate steel and processed by reasonable techniques can have a service life several times that of ordinary models.
Pay attention to technical matching: Select the appropriate type of cutting tool based on the characteristics of the material being processed. For instance, when processing pharmaceutical packaging materials, attention should be paid to relevant hygiene certifications. Anti-static requirements should be taken into consideration when processing electronic components.
Examine service capabilities: The shutdown of die-cutting production lines has a significant impact on production, and the response speed of suppliers is particularly crucial. It is recommended to give priority to suppliers that can provide emergency response within a few hours and have the ability to offer online assistance.
Development direction outlook: Intelligence, functionalization and environmental friendliness
The die-cutting industry is continuously developing in the following directions:
Intelligent manufacturing: The combination of industrial software and automated equipment promotes the digitalization of the die-cutting production process. The ERP and MES systems enable full-process data traceability, and visual inspection technology helps maintain a high product qualification rate.
Application of functional materials: The types of die-cutting materials are constantly enriching. New materials such as graphene thermal conductive film, aerogel heat insulation sheet and shape memory polymer have opened up broader application space for die-cutting technology.
Green manufacturing promotion: The environmental protection trend is driving the die-cutting industry towards a low-carbon direction, and die-cut products made of degradable materials are gradually being applied in the packaging field. At the process end, the cutting path is optimized to reduce the residual material, and low-volatile adhesives are used to lower emissions.
