Crush Cut Rotary Dies by Bernal

Bernal Crush Cut Dies

Bernal pioneered the solid-hardened rotary die in the late 1960s, developing a proprietary wedge-type cutting edge on a solid-hardened cylinder using Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). Since then, Bernal has delivered thousands of rotary dies renowned for high-quality cuts, exceptional speed, and compatibility with diverse materials and products - ranging from folding cartons and medical bandages to printed circuits, batteries, and even snack foods.

Key benefits of Bernal Crush Cut Rotary Dies

Bernal’s Crush Cut Rotary Dies are constructed from solid, high-hardness tool steel, designed to precisely cut continuous webs of material. With exacting tolerances, these dies ensure exceptionally clean cuts at high speeds, optimizing throughput.

Outstanding Features and Benefits

  • Machine Sharpening: Ensures precise, clean cuts with each use.
  • Solid Steel Construction: Robust and durable for extended use.
  • Segmented Options: Available in partially or fully segmented designs.
  • Quick-Change Capability: Allows for fast setup and adjustments.
  • Fully Hardened: Built to withstand rigorous, high-speed operation.
  • Scrap Stripping: In-die scrap removal for efficient processing.
  • Precision Cutting Tolerances: Achieves exacting shape accuracy.
Segmented Rotary Dies for Versatility
 
Crush Cut Dies can be partially or fully segmented with removable rings, ideal for cutting, embossing, marking, or laminating. These segments enable customization for different customer needs, maximizing the utility of each die across various applications.
