Die Cutting to Specification

At Precision Cutting Dies, we are pleased to offer our customers a dedicated and complete service, which includes the repair, sharpening and refurbishment of all tools and dies. We are proud to use the latest die making technology and even though manual preparation has declined, our highly skilled team are still able to offer this service needed for unique tooling or as required. The next stage is also conducted using up to the minute technology. We use a fully integrated laser cutting and rule processing system; the latter automatically cuts the blades to size and bends them to the correct shape.  The advantage this gives us is that the laser and the rule-processor can share all the data simultaneously. Furthermore, the systems are completely integrated as there is only one program running both the laser cutter and the bender, giving you the guarantee of a top quality end product. Laser cutting technology works by using computers to direct the beam of a high power laser at the material to be cut.  This makes perfect cuts through the die board into which blades can be slotted. The material then melts, burns, vaporizes or is blown away by a jet of gas leaving an edge with a high quality surface finish. One advantage of laser cutting over mechanical cutting are the lack of physical contact since there is nocutting edge which can become contaminated by the material or contaminate the material. Another is its precision as there is no wear onthe laser. There is also a reduced chance of warping the material that is being cut as laser systems have a small heat-affected zone. Because of the small diameter of the cutting beam, materials that were unsuitable for laser cutting can be cut.We are able to cut the following products: - Most plastics primarily Acrylics, HIPS
