FAQ
What is total cutting?
Total cutting, or complete cutting, is a processing operation that completely penetrates all the layers of the material, separating the finished part from the support. It is an ideal solution for the production of components that must be completely shaped with high precision.
What is the difference between kiss-cutting and total cutting?
In kiss-cutting, the blade only cuts the upper material, leaving the liner or underlying support intact. In total cutting, on the other hand, the cut completely penetrates all the layers of the material, resulting in the complete separation of the part. In many industrial applications, both operations can be performed simultaneously on the same product.
Which technologies can perform total cutting?
Depending on the material and application, total cutting can be performed using flat-bed or rotary knife systems, laser cutting or digital die-cutting. The choice of technology depends on the material thickness, the required precision and the production volume.
How do you choose the most suitable cutting technology for your material?
The choice of technology depends on several factors, including the type of material, thickness, required precision, desired productivity and final result. Thanks to our experience, we analyse each application to identify the most suitable solution, proposing flat-bed or rotary knife cutting systems, laser or other integrated technologies according to the specific production requirements.
When is it preferable to use total cutting rather than kiss-cutting?
Total cutting is suitable when it is necessary to completely separate the part from the support material, obtaining a finished component ready for subsequent processing or assembly stages. Kiss-cutting, on the other hand, is mainly used for adhesive materials or labels, where the support must remain intact. In many production processes, the two operations can be combined in the same cycle.
Is it possible to customise the machine according to the production process?
Yes. We design customisable solutions according to our customers’ requirements, adapting working dimensions, cutting tools, handling systems, automation, laminating and waste removal systems. The objective is to create a machine perfectly integrated into the existing production flow.
What level of precision can be achieved with total cutting?
Our machines are designed to guarantee high standards of precision and repeatability, even in the most complex applications. The cutting quality makes it possible to obtain clean edges, the absence of burrs and a perfect correspondence to the required geometries, reducing waste and improving the quality of the finished product.
Can the machines be integrated into automated production lines?
Yes. Our systems can be integrated into automated production lines and communicate with feeding, laminating, automatic unloading and material handling systems. This makes it possible to increase productivity, reduce cycle times and optimise the entire production process.
Is it possible to process adhesive materials without deformation or damage?
Certainly. Our technologies are designed to ensure controlled processing even of the most delicate materials, avoiding deformation, tearing or alterations to the material properties.
The choice of tool and processing parameters is optimised according to the characteristics of the application.
What advantages does a customised solution offer compared to a standard machine?
A machine designed around specific production requirements makes it possible to improve process efficiency, reduce waste, increase production speed and simplify operator activities.
It also makes it possible to integrate several operations into a single line, optimising investments and improving economic returns over time.
Which industrial sectors are your cutting systems suitable for?
Our solutions are used in numerous sectors, including automotive, electronics, medical, double-sided adhesives, packaging, label production, composite materials, gaskets, industrial insulation and technical fabrics. Each system is configured according to the specific requirements of the sector and production process.
