What's the difference between laser steel rule die and etching knife die?

There are several important factors in the process of mold cutting including die-cut materials, die cutters, knife molds, and the die-cutting process. These factors play a crucial role in the good-quality rate of the final product.

Among them, the blade is a factor that the die-cut industry is very valued. Today we are going to compare the difference between the laser steel rule die board and the etching knife model!

Laser steel rule die board

The laser steel rule die is processed with dedicated equipment into various desired shapes and then insert well-shaped rules into the slit of a wooden board or PVC board, MDF board for printing, packaging and electronic industries, etc.

Laser steel rule die has the following advantages compared with the traditional handmade processes.

1. High efficiency: After using the laser machine cut, the drawing work becomes simple since professional software to design drawing on the computer is available. Don't need extra depiction and drawing. It could be solved well the issue that drawing on the die board by manual with a pen.

2. High precision: Laser blade die board uses CNC full automatic operation during cutting, uniform gap, high dimensional accuracy to±0.1, further satisfy the die-cut demand of various electronic materials, designs for electronic materials The problem brings a revolutionary change. It is very good to solve the process of traditional manual production through the sawing line saw, which can only meet the die-cutting demand in print packaging, and improve the scope of use of the knife.

 

Etching knife die

The etching knife is exposed by using a Philine and a steel sheet, then the excessive portion is formed by corrosion, and finally use the engraving and milling machine to process the blade and form it; etched the knife mold. The material is imported high carbon steel plate from Japan.

 

Etching die is a kind of die with high precision, high difficulty, seamless cutting edge, smooth cutting line, and high repeatability developed after laser dies. It is mainly used in flexible circuit board PFC, electronic film, polarizer, Backlight film, transparent film, refractor film, self-adhesive, Mylar film PET...

Etching die has the following advantages as below:

 

1. There is no interface in the slit of the etching knife die, there is no interface problem, the cut surface of the cut product is smooth; there is no contact at the corner, and there will be no burr at the corner of the cut product.

2. The flatness of the blade is good, the replacement is fast, the mold adjustment is convenient, and the material and time consumed by the test are saved.

3. The dimensional accuracy of the etching die is high, and the tolerance can reach ±0.03; the minimum double tool position can be 0.5mm; several identical products on the same die are close to the same size; the same die is repeatedly produced, and the error is extremely small.

4. The height and angle of the blade are diversified. According to the customer's requirements, the blade can be up to 2.5mm, and it can be made into different angles of 30-60 degrees according to the different angles of the cutting materials.

5. In the face of complex work pieces, a combination of high and low knives can be easily made on the same mold, and at the same time, full-cut, half-cut, toothed knives, and broken lines can be formed at one time.
