A Platen Machine for Creasing and Die Cutting Work
The ML1500 is built around a platen working format for creasing and die cutting suitable sheet materials. Its 1500 × 1050 mm maximum cutting area gives buyers a clear starting point for reviewing sheet size, tooling layout, cutting-rule length, available floor space, and material-handling requirements.
Within DSPM's range of platen creasing and die cutting machines, the ML1500 should be selected against the actual material, process, die board, production target, and site conditions rather than model size alone.
Creasing, Die Cutting and Material Applications
With suitable tooling and process settings, the ML1500 can be considered for creasing, full-cut die cutting, and selected half-cut applications. The result depends on the material, thickness, die construction, rule layout, pressure setting, and required finished quality.
Creasing
Forms controlled fold lines in suitable board and sheet materials when matched with the correct rule, matrix, and pressure setup.
Full-Cut Die Cutting
Cuts the material through to the required outline with a suitable die and process setting.
Half-Cut Applications
Supports selected partial-cut or kiss-cut work where the substrate, backing, tooling, and setup are appropriate.
Potential materials include paperboard, corrugated board, plastic sheet, leather, cork, self-adhesive material, EVA, and double-sided adhesive materials. This is an application range, not a universal compatibility guarantee. Final suitability should be confirmed from material samples, thickness, dimensions, die layout, and expected finish.

Mechanical Structure and Component Design
The ML1500 uses cast and heat-treated components at key structural and transmission positions. The design focuses on rigidity, wear resistance, lubrication, and stable mechanical movement.
Cast Machine Body and Pressure Frame
The machine body and pressure frame use HT250 gray cast iron. Annealing is applied to reduce internal stress and support dimensional stability.
Heat-Treated Main Shaft and Gears
The main shaft and key gears are made from heat-treated steel to support strength, rigidity, hardness, and service stability.
Nitrided Guide Liners
The guide liners use 38CrMoAl material with nitriding treatment to improve surface hardness and wear resistance and to support stable pressure movement over time.
Ductile-Iron Connecting Rod
The transmission connecting rod is made from ductile iron for strength, toughness, and resistance to tensile loading.
Bushings at Key Moving Points
Composite bushings are used at transmission positions, with powder-metallurgy bushings at the connecting rod, supporting lubrication and fit at key moving points.
Operating, Lubrication and Safety Controls
Clutch and Pressing Sequence
A single-plate electromagnetic clutch is used for responsive engagement. Continuous pressing is available, and the opening delay can be adjusted to suit the operating sequence.
Lubrication Arrangement
A centralized lubrication arrangement supports oil delivery to relevant points. Manual lubrication may be available as an optional configuration; confirm the final scope before ordering.
Safety Devices
The listed safety provisions include limit switches, an emergency-stop control, a push-rod limit switch, and multiple safeguard devices. Final guarding, electrical components, and destination-market compliance must be confirmed for the ordered machine.
Movable Plate Frame Options
The machine can be configured with internal or external movable plate frames. The supplied product information identifies the external movable plate frame as standard; confirm the final arrangement in the quotation.
Safe operation also depends on correct installation, operator training, maintenance, and site procedures. This page does not state or imply a specific certification.
