Eagle 360 Tensioning Device

Q:  How is the plate held in position?

A:   The die plate is held onto the die-mounting mandrel by a method of mechanical attachment utilizing a patented tensioning device.

Q:  Will the die plate move once it is assembled?

A:  The die plate will not move once the attachment mechanism is locked into its final position.

Q:  Can your system 360 ™ be adjusted for registration?

A:  The die plate can be adjusted laterally in order to align continuous cutting elements through the die plate end gap.

Q:  Are the die plates hardened?

A:   The cutting and creasing and embossing elements are hardened selectively. The base of the pre-formed die plate is not hardened.

Q:  Why is the mechanical mounting cylinder better than the magnetic mounting cylinder?

A:

• Lower acquisition cost
• Faster acquisition delivery
• Easier to mount the die plates
• Easier to remove the die plates
• Easier to adjust die plate position

Q:   How long does it take to put the plate on the non-magnetic cylinder?

A:  Generally, it should take approximately 3-5 minutes.

Q: Will your non-magnetic cylinders fit any machine?

A:  Yes, the mounting cylinders will be machined to fit the customer requirement.

Q: What is the smallest and largest diameter non-magnetic cylinder that you produce?

A:  The smallest diameter is approximately 8.5 inches
The largest diameter is approximately 30 inches

Q: Can you manufacture RP-cut and Crush-cut die plates?

A:  Yes. RP, Crush-Cut and Embossing are all possible with the Eagle System 360 ™ dies.

Q: Can you manufacture both embossing & cutting capabilities on the same die plate?

A:  Yes. We manufacture embossing, cutting and creasing, and stripping on the same die plate.

Q: How is the stripping function accomplished?

A:  Unique stripping elements are machined on the die plate which moves the scrap to the lower die cavity from which a doctor blade will remove the scrap. The doctor blade is not part particular and can be used on all die shapes.
