I. Equipment Debugging and Parameter Setting
Mold installation and calibration
Make sure the mold is installed firmly to avoid dimensional deviations during processing or equipment vibration due to looseness.
Calibrate the parallelism between the mold and the worktable, and adjust the mold position through trial cutting to prevent problems such as off-center cutting and uneven indentation.
The speed matches the pressure
Adjust the die-cutting speed according to the material thickness and hardness (for example, high-speed machines usually 200 to 1000 times per minute). A speed that is too fast may cause material tearing, while a speed that is too slow will affect efficiency.
Set an appropriate die-cutting pressure. Insufficient pressure will result in incomplete cutting, while excessive pressure will shorten the mold's lifespan and even damage the equipment.
Feeding system debugging
Calibrate the tension of the feeding roller to ensure smooth material transportation and avoid slippage, offset or wrinkling.
Adjust the positioning photoelectric sensor to ensure the material positioning accuracy (the error is usually controlled within ±0.1mm).
Ii. Material Pretreatment and Clamping
Material testing
Check whether the surface of the material is smooth and free of impurities to avoid poor die-cutting caused by material defects (such as bubbles and scratches).
Confirm the uniformity of the material thickness. When the thickness deviation exceeds ±0.05mm, reprocessing or replacement is required.
Material clamping and tension control
When clamping, ensure that the center of the material roll is aligned with the feeding roller to avoid skewing.
The material tension is dynamically adjusted through the tension controller. During high-speed operation, the tension fluctuation should be ≤5% to prevent the material from stretching and deforming.
Iii. Real-time Monitoring during the processing
Equipment operation status monitoring
Pay attention to the motor temperature and bearing noise. If the temperature exceeds 60℃ or abnormal sounds occur, stop the machine immediately for inspection.
Monitor the pressure values of the hydraulic system or pneumatic system to ensure stability (for example, the pressure fluctuation of the hydraulic system is ≤0.5MPa).
Random inspection of product quality
Randomly inspect die-cut products every 10 to 20 minutes to check dimensional accuracy, cut flatness, burr conditions, etc.
Pay special attention to products with complex graphics or multi-process die-cutting to avoid cumulative errors exceeding the standard.
Waste and dust treatment
Timely clear the waste generated during the die-cutting process to prevent it from entangling the feeding roller or blocking the waste discharge channel.
For materials that are prone to generating dust (such as paper and foam), turn on the dust removal device to prevent dust from affecting the accuracy of the equipment or causing malfunctions.
Iv. Safety Operation and Protection
Operator protection
Wear protective gloves and goggles to avoid injury caused by high-speed rotating molds or flying material fragments.
It is strictly prohibited to touch the moving parts such as molds and feeding rollers with bare hands when the equipment is in operation.
Equipment safety protection
Ensure that the emergency stop button, safety light curtain and other protective devices are sensitive and effective. Stop the machine immediately for maintenance upon discovering any faults.
Regularly inspect the wear of the drive belts and gears to prevent equipment shutdown or safety accidents caused by component aging.
Electrical and fire safety
Keep the electrical cabinet of the equipment clean to prevent dust accumulation from causing short circuits. The grounding resistance should be ≤4Ω to avoid the risk of leakage.

Fire extinguishers should be equipped near the equipment. When processing flammable materials (such as foam and film), open flame operations are strictly prohibited.
