Traditional die cutter PDF106

Format: 70x100

General information

High-speed die cutting for large-format, high-volume jobs.

The PDF106 is an automatic high-speed die cutting machine built to process 700 × 1000 mm formats and a wide range of materials — from 80 g/m² paper to 5 mm thick stocks, including B-Flute corrugated board.

Ideal for medium to large production runs, PDF106 performs cutting, creasing, perforating and kiss-cutting.

All PDF106 models (PDF106, PDF106T, PDF106E, PDF106EB) come with an automatic feeding head, capable of handling stacks up to 1,600 mm high and feeding at up to 125 sheets per minute. Precision side and front guides with photocells ensure smooth, accurate feeding of materials.

Equipped with touch screen controls, the die-cutting pressure can be micro-adjusted with accuracy up to 0.01 mm, offering full control over cutting quality across various substrates.

The delivery system includes photo-electric safety sensors, adjustable depressor brush, optional automatic belt table for non-stop delivery, stack height up to 1,350 mm.

With high-speed performance, advanced control systems, and compatibility with large formats, the PDF106 series offers an efficient, flexible, and precise solution for high-volume die cutting.

Traditional wooden die

Accurate positioning of the cutting chase controlled by the centerline system. Automatic lock of the chase.
The overturning of the chase can be done in a simple and safe way.
Equipped with a registration detecting device of the cutting chase and the cutting plate.
Pneumatic lock on the cutting chase. Slide in and slide out of the cutting plate in its chase is simple thanks to an air floating device.

Feeding table

Equipped with a double-speed motor for continuous feeding.
Front lay with micro adjustment.
Double sheet detection sensor.
Anti-obstacle device.
Optional: additional pressing wheels and brushes for running thin paper and corrugated
cardboard.

Centerline

The Centerline system placed on the cutting chase is equipped with transversal micro-adjustment devices, which ensure an accurate and precise registration and allow a quick changeover.

Lay side

Side registration is done through a push or pull lay placed on the operator side and the
drive side (right/left).
Optional: photoelectric sensor for detecting black paper or transparent plastic sheets.

Feeder

High pile device that allows a maximum stack height of 1600 mm.
The head of the automatic feeder allows feeding the product without interruptions.
Equipped with 4 suction cups for lifting the sheet and 5 other cups for moving it.
The height and angle of the vacuum devices is easily adjustable.
The lifting of the feeding table is controlled by a double-speed system.
A micro adjustment for the transversal positioning of the table is available.
Lateral blowing system for precise sheet separation.
Electronic sensor for double sheet detection.

Grippers

Gripper bars with grippers made of lightweight and durable aluminum alloy ensure accurate and consistent paper registration.
On the main gripper plate there is an auxiliary gripper plate to increase grip strength for UV-coated, laminated and plastic sheets.
Gripper blocking system to compensate an accurate paper registration.

Machines

PDF106 Variants

PDF160T with hot foil unit

In addition to the standard characteristics of PDF106, this machine is equipped with a hot foil unit. Foil stamping can be done in both a transversal and longitudinal direction. The latter can be carried out in two formats, horizontal and vertical. This way, there is enough space inside the machine for the operator to go inside and change the foil, shortening changeover time.

The foil winding and unwinding units are outside the machine, making it easier to set up the foil roll and increase the general performance of the machine.

An embossing unit and a creasing group are part of the standard equipment. The embossing plate is placed on a honeycomb plate. When the sheet passes through the die cutting unit, the embossing plate presses the sheet and the embossing effect is realized.

PDF106E with stripping unit

Like the other machines in the PDF106 line, the PDF106E is ideal for big runs, and designed for standard processes like cutting, creasing, perforation, and kiss cut.

In addition to the standard features of the PDF106, this machine is equipped with a stripping unit, characterized by a 3-action movement structure with upper, middle and lower stripping frame to help die change.

The stripping system matches with the centerline registration system in the die-cutting section, to minimize changeover time.

It is also available the PDF106ER model with die-cutting & stripping unit, plus heating device to die cut plastic materials. The upper heating plate is designed for PET, PP, PVC, PS PE, and PDPE.

PDF106EB with blanking unit

In addition to the standard characteristics of PDF106, this machine is equipped with a blanking unit, to eliminate the waste frame of the die cut sheet.

The blank is pushed down on a lower (female) chase by an upper (male) chase. The finished blank is then neatly stacked on a pallet. This process is repeated until the specific number of blanks has been piled up. Remaining waste is sent to a non-stop collecting system and dropped into a waste basket for disposal.

Also, there is a paper inserter section to insert an interposing sheet between the shape piles, to separate batches and give a better support on the pallet. The blanking unit can be changed over to a normal waste stripping unit and the die cut product can be collected in the delivery unit.
