The globally operating diemaker Marbach has a solution in its portfolio that allows the individual workstations as well as the upper and lower tool parts of a die-cutting machine to be perfectly matched to each other. The company simply calls this solution the "Marbach calibration tool".
When it comes to set-up times, the die-cutting machine plays a decisive role. The basic requirement for minimizing set-up times is quite simple: all stations and tool components must be calibrated precisely.
Bernhard Reisser, Industry Manager at Marbach: "The calibration tool sets a die-cutting machine to zero, so to speak. With its help, all stations are perfectly calibrated to each other. This increases the reliability of the entire process enormously and also reduces the set-up time for each individual job. Users benefit from maximum performance in the production of their packaging."
The calibration can be carried out by the machine operator himself after receiving expert instruction from Marbach. The operating instructions supplied intuitively guide the machine operator through the entire calibration process.
Reisser continues: "The ideal complementary product to the calibration tool are order- specific counter plates in marbazero design."
