Spartanics M500 Steel Rule and Hard Tool Die Cutting Systems

Consistent accuracy within +/- 0.1 mm or better � every time!

The M500 Steel Rule and Hard Tool Die Cutting System is a complete turnkey system that uses electro-optical sensors to scan and record registration marks at production rates up to 165 strokes per minute. You get consistent precision registration accuracy in X, Y, and Rotational axes within +/- 0.1 mm or better�every time!

The unique feature of re-registering in all three axes at every press stroke makes this the world�s highest precision Steel Rule and Hard Tool Die Cutting System---within the two hairs� width that the human eye can see. Registration precision does not get any better than this!

The M500 Steel Rule and Hard Tool Die Cutting System's modular design enables you to flexibly and efficiently configure the die cutting system for coil or sheet feed. Hard tooling configurations blank through to return parts to the web. Steel rule dies can kiss cut or through cut. This gives you the ultimate versatility to respond to evolving market demand for die cut innovations as unlimited as the human imagination.

A wide array of output modules provides maximum efficiency in parts extraction. You can die cut parts through and onto a conveyor, use a knockout station, or a versatile parts extractor, as the job requires. With coil applications, parts can be rewound on backing paper while the scrap matrix is removed.

The M500 Steel Rule and Hard Tool Die Cutting System runs in-line with digital printing presses and thermal and pressure roll laminating systems to give you continuous production lines and the finishing flexibility you need to make the new types of laminated and/or digitally-printed products that become more popular every day�from refrigerator magnets to promotional items to folding maps and more!

Building a niche in short runs? The M500 is the only high precision die cutting system that automatically re-positions steel rule dies, making job changeover a snap.

Available in standard format or wide format, the M500 Steel Rule and Hard Tool Die Cutting System cuts through a wide range of materials�paper, plastics, metal.

The Spartanics M500 Steel Rule and Hard Tool Die Cutting System modules can also be easily removed for servicing and replaced with loaner modules provided by Spartanics at no cost. With the Spartanics M500, punching or die cutting downtime becomes a thing of the past!
