Bobst Improves Tool-making

Bobst is enhancing manufacturing production, speed and quality with Boxplan Hybridsetter – a waste stripping tool for die-cutters. Three-dimensional dynamic stripping formes can be manufactured. It offers automatic setting of pins and claws from a magazine in one pass to dramatically increase efficiency and quality of the tool making. All parameters, including variable pin height, are filed in the machine’s control system to match the differing needs of customers and materials, enabling greater flexibility to the overall stripping process.

Graeme Doran, Regional Service Manager, Tooling, said, “With Boxplan Hybridsetter, it is possible to prepare fully automatic, fast and easy complex stripping formes for all demands, with free combination of pins and claws. The result is shorter set-up times of the die-cutter, more sheet output and an end to manual labour in setting the pins and claws. Superb tool quality ensures top stripping performance and accuracy of the waste removal in the die-cutter for all applications, including recycled material, prime fibre board, laminated sheets, e-flute and corrugated board.”

Boxplan Hybridsetter is suitable for tools for all kinds of die-cutters, regardless of age size and speed. The software it uses enables the storage of customer and material specifications for future use. Bobst offers a full training and support service to ensure customers are able to optimise machine performance.
