Precise and lightweight – Cutting-die solidplatealu from Marbach

Friday 16. June 2023 - The diemaker Marbach has recently launched an aluminium version of its popular solidplate tool. This special dieboard is impressive due to its dimensional stability and low weight. The solidplatealu demonstrates its advantages especially with large folding box formats.

The solidplate|alu consists of 3 layers: Two aluminum cover plates enclose a center layer of secondary material (solidplate core) from above and below.
This special material combination ensures high (dimensional) stability and low weight.
When die-cutting, precision is of the essence, especially for large formats. The larger the tool, the greater the effect of the smallest dimensional tolerances. Tool weight is also a factor that should not be underestimated.
Marbach industry manager Bernhard Reisser: “By using aluminum instead of steel, the solidplate|alu is not only very precise, ensuring high productivity and the best die-cutting results in packaging production, but it is also lightweight and thus easy to handle. Another great additional benefit: the lower weight reduces transport costs.”
The solidplate|alu is a dimensionally stable dieboard that is characterized by its good hygroscopic properties, an optimal register to steel counter plate and durability, as well as the possibility of a high number of reknifings. In addition, the ejector rubber on the solidplate|alu can be replaced very easily thanks to the existing metallic cover plate.
