Wink to present die-cutting developments at Labelexpo

Wink will present several developments in its range of dies at Labelexpo Europe on stand 6G92.  

Four non-stick coatings – black, grey, white and silver – are suitable for flexible dies, solid rotary dies and other machine parts. The non-stick coating minimizes glue residues on cutting tools and increases productive efficiency during die-cutting. Wink will show the advantages of all four coatings live at the show and be able to advise on choosing the right flexible die finishing for client’s specific application, also in combination with laser hardening or MC coating. 

The newly developed ProShift system enables label converters to optimize their printing and die-cutting processes. By using a special configuration and cutting line geometry, ProShift flexible dies are said to bring excellent cutting results to perfection at high production speeds and working with very thin liners. In addition, ProShift facilitates matrix stripping and reduces noise exposure. 

Wink offers two products for cutting and suction of various shapes, FlexAir and SolidAir. Depending on the application, either the FlexAir system (magnetic cylinder with flexible die) or the solid rotary die with compressed air system come into operation. Both systems have been optimized by a novel air flow design which allows more precise cuttings. In addition, Wink shows new optional accessory for the air systems, which simplifies the air outlet regulation for the operator. 

Die-cutting booklets and multi-layer labels with magnetic systems can be a challenge. Through co-operations with machine manufacturers and extensive testing with customers Wink has developed special flexible dies for cutting thick materials and other problematic labelstock.
