Product Positioning and Ideal Users
The D1300 is designed for packaging converters that need a large-format die-cutting platform without the investment and production complexity of a fully automatic feeding system. The operator introduces and positions each sheet at the feeding station, while the machine provides controlled registration, gripper transfer, flatbed die cutting and organized delivery.
Its semi-automatic operating concept is especially practical for short and medium production runs, frequent job changes, mixed sheet sizes and materials that require closer operator control during feeding.

Semi-Automatic Feeding and Precision Registration
The D1300 uses operator-controlled sheet feeding to provide direct control over large, heavy or varied materials. Each sheet is introduced at the feeding station and aligned against the registration system before being transferred into the die-cutting unit.
-
01
Operator-Controlled Sheet Feeding
The operator can observe the condition and position of every sheet before it enters the machine. This is practical for corrugated board, heavy paperboard, mixed formats and production with frequent job changes.
-
02
Front and Side Registration
Front and side positioning references help the operator establish a stable sheet position before gripper transfer, supporting consistent cutting and creasing registration.
-
03
Stable Gripper Transfer
After registration, the gripper bar carries the sheet through the die-cutting process in a controlled movement, reducing unnecessary sheet movement between registration and cutting.
-
04
Flexible Job Handling
The semi-automatic feeding concept allows production teams to handle different sheet sizes and board conditions without the complexity of a fully automatic feeder.
Heavy-Duty Die-Cutting and Drive System
The die-cutting section is designed to combine structural rigidity, controlled pressure and stable transmission for large-format paperboard and corrugated production.
-
01
High-Rigidity Platen Structure
Key cast structural components use QT600-3 ductile iron to support rigidity and long-term stability under repeated die-cutting loads.
-
02
Up to 350 Tons of Pressure
The flatbed die-cutting unit provides a maximum pressure of 350 tons for cutting and creasing large paperboard and corrugated sheets within the specified material range.
-
03
Crankshaft and Worm-Gear Drive
The crankshaft and worm-gear transmission arrangement transfers power through the die-cutting cycle and supports controlled platen movement.
-
04
Intermittent Transmission
The intermittent transmission coordinates gripper-bar indexing with the die-cutting cycle for stable sheet movement through the machine.
-
05
Pneumatic Chase Locking and Fine Adjustment
Pneumatic locking helps secure the die-cutting chase during operation, while the fine-adjustment system supports accurate production setup.
-
06
Forced Lubrication
The forced lubrication system supplies oil to critical transmission positions, supporting stable operation and routine mechanical protection.
Electrical Control and Operator Safety
The D1300 centralizes machine settings, operating status and system monitoring to support straightforward operation and faster fault checking.
-
01
PLC Control
The PLC coordinates the main machine functions and operating sequence through a centralized control system.
-
02
15-Inch Human-Machine Interface
The 15-inch interface provides access to operating settings, machine status and diagnostic information in one location.
-
03
Operating Monitoring
Sensors and limit switches monitor key operating positions and help confirm that machine movements occur in the required sequence.
-
04
Electrical and Mechanical Protection
Circuit protection and torque-limiting safeguards help protect the machine when abnormal resistance or operating conditions occur.
-
05
Operator Safety Devices
Safety guards, interlocks and emergency-stop controls are integrated around critical operating areas. Operators must follow the supplied operating and safety instructions at all times.
Electrical component brands and detailed configuration are subject to the final technical agreement and sales contract.
Organized Sheet Delivery
After die cutting, the delivery section helps collect and organize sheets for inspection, removal and transfer to the next production stage.
-
01
Sheet Leveling
The delivery mechanism helps guide finished sheets into a more consistent stacking position.
-
02
Two-Way Air Assistance
Air assistance supports sheet separation and placement during delivery, particularly when working with larger sheets.
-
03
Photoelectric Detection
Photoelectric monitoring helps detect delivery conditions and coordinate the related delivery movements.
-
04
Automatic Pile Lifting
The delivery platform adjusts with the accumulating sheet pile to support continuous collection within the specified delivery height.
-
05
Anti-Return Mechanism
The anti-return arrangement helps limit backward sheet movement during the delivery process.
-
06
Non-Stop Sampling
The sampling arrangement allows operators to remove inspection samples during production without unnecessarily disturbing the complete delivery pile.
