Guidolin Girotto Srl, the leading manufacturer of standard and custom engineered automatic flat-bed die cutting systems offers a complete range of narrow web converting machinery with cutting powers ranging from 5-10-20-35 tons and platen sizes up to 600mm x 600mm. The mechanical operation and single cylinder micrometric adjustment allows for higher cutting power & precision, less set-up and noise-less operation. The modular design allows for a wide variety of options to be added to automate and customize the system to suit your specific converting requirements. These options can include lamination, liner removal, scrap/matrix removal, part expulsion, transversal cutting, slitting, registration and printing. Our team of engineers review your application and requirements, listen to your needs, and respond to offer a more innovative solution.
Due to the modular design, single cylinder adjustment, rapid die change accessibility and ease of set-up, these machines are ideal for companies that need to convert a wide range of materials and jobs in a given shift – reduce time and labor, save on die costs and improve on overall material yields.
These die cutting systems process material in both sheet and roll form and operate with steel rule dies, male/female dies or matched tooling to die cut or kiss cut materials including abrasives, gaskets, double sided adhesives, foams, plastics, felts & textiles, papers, films, foils and similar materials.
The basic features and benefits which distinguish the Guidolin Girotto presses worldwide in both small converting operations with short volume work and major manufacturers with very high production lots are listed below.
Operating Features
Guidolin Girotto Benefits
Mechanically Operated
Flywheel and Camshaft driven allows the energy from the power source to be supplied at a constant rate throughout the operation. Thus allowing higher cutting power, precision, less set-up and noise-less operation.
Single Cylinder Adjustment
Micrometric single cylinder adjustment (+/- .01mm) guarantees perfect platen parallelism & eliminates the problems associated with 4-post hydraulically operated presses - i.e. die board shimming, hydraulic leaks, seal wear & loss of pressure.
Quick Die Change
Plate support cutting knife with guides that are dove tailed @ 60° for a quick and easy change of the cutting die. Cutting dies can be changed without removing the material from the machine during the production cycle.
Single Nip Roll Adjustment
A single (centered) nip roll adjustment allows for the nip rolls to be set perfectly parallel during the lamination process greatly reducing the time associated during set-up with traditional dual mechanical stop adjustments (left & right).
Modular Design
A variety of options are available to automate and customize the system to suit a wide variety of converting requirements. Most options can be added in the future.
Industrial PLC
Industrial PLC can store up to 400 jobs for quick set-up. Operational controls can be customized for special/custom converting applications.
Vision System-Cut to Print
Various vision (registration) systems are availabile utilizing an optical photocell for reading a notch, printed references (clear, dark, color) & holograms. Registration systems are available for one (X), two (X-Y) and three (X-Y-Z) axes in a variety of accuracy levels.
Knock-Out/ Part Expulsion
A wide variety of knock out stations are available with registration on the X,Y & Z axes. Centers or scrap can be removed via pneumatic expulsion, vaccum, air etc.. And finished, total-cut parts, can be stacked on a table or conveyor.
Guillotine Cutting Systems
Automatic guillotine cutting system assembled on the machine for the transversal cut, equipped with motorized feeding rolls, friction & adjustable on the axes. Equipped on a table with a slide to move out of the way when running roll-roll applications.
In-Line Slitting Systems
A variety of in-line slitting systems are available including razor blade, blade counterblade (scissor), & pressure cut (Score) with regulation on the axes. Slitting units can be set-up for total cutting or kiss-cutting applications.
Automatic Sheet Loading
Automatic sheet loading device with vacuum pick and place system equipped with a hydraulic lift and optical photocell to register the sheet location.
In-Line Printing
A wide variety of in-line printing systems are available for printing on various substrates.
Custom Converting Solutions
Custom solutions available for the most challenging converting applications & requirements.
