Shanghai Honghua Digital Equipment Co, Ltd. produces industrial-grade Die-Cutting & Slitting Integrated Machines for high-volume label manufacture and flexible material conversion. The EC-series machines are equipped with full servo drive technology and PLC-controlled hydraulic die-cutting systems, and can produce 38,000-70,000 ㎡ in each 24-hour cycle. This gadget cuts with a precision of ±0.1mm and a lifespan of 20 years, reducing scrap rates by up to 30% and eliminating errors during secondary processing. Honghua's equipment is designed to optimise production workflow for organisations that require synchronised die-cutting and longitudinal slitting in one pass, supported by 13 patented inventions and 20 years of manufacturing knowledge.
This industrial conversion gadget essentially automates two important operations. Traditional workflows include die-cutting and slitting procedures separately, which leads to registration errors and material distortion due to several handling cycles.
Our integrated system tackles these problems with multi-axis servo synchronisation. The technique regulates roller tension in real time and correlates blade position to die-cutting registration marks.
A hydraulic raising unwinder handles rolls up to 6,000 meters long and 1,100mm diameter. Web speed is controlled by full servo motors 60 to 300 m/min and tension stability is ±1N.

A completely hydraulic die cutting equipment determines pressure distribution by analysing data in real time. The intelligent control confines the pressure fluctuation to 0.5 bar so that the cutting depth is constant regardless of the density variation of the materials.
Tool-free magnetic cylinders - install and remove. Compared to mechanical lock systems, the hydraulic lifting mechanism decreases the changeover time from 45 minutes to less than 8 minutes.
Pressure sensors which measure the force over the breadth of the die-cutting roller. The PLC automatically adjusts for varied substrate thickness by regulating the hydraulic pressure zone by zone.
Following die cutting, the blade stripping system eliminates matrix waste in a continuous action. Tungsten carbide blades are set at exact angles to strip trash without touching the completed labels.
This approach does not need supplementary trash removal stations. As the material advances trash is stripped off without affecting the pace of production.
The trash collection system directs scrap to a separate receptacle, which maintains the cleanliness of the work environment and reduces the danger of contamination to the glue ingredients.
Each roller is driven by its own servo motor, all of which are synchronised via the central PLC. The design offers micro-adjustment in tension, speed and position.
High resolution encoders monitor roller rotation at 2,000 pulses/revolution. The controller updates the feedback data every 2 milliseconds and adjusts the motor power to keep it in synchrony.
The technology controls the tension proportionally during acceleration and deceleration to avoid stretching or creasing of the material. It covers fragile substrates such as thin PET films and copper foils.
The machine processes several flexible materials in continuous rolls:
Photoelectric sensors for web guiding systems ensure lateral positioning down to 0.1mm. This accuracy avoids edge flaws at high speed operation.
The Die-Cutting & Slitting Integrated Machine is designed with automated tension zones, which split the material flow into unwinding, processing and rewinding parts. Each zone has its own tension values, which are optimised for the elastic characteristics of the material.
Honghua’s production facilities have ISO compliant quality control methods. Before dispatch all machines are tested for 72-hour continuous operation.
Specialised treatments for critical components:
Heavy-duty cast-iron frames absorb vibrations and overspecified bearings in all rotating components result in a 20-year service life.
For each equipment order detailed technical documentation is provided for mechanical assembly, electrical connections and PLC parameter tuning.
Our technical staff is available to assist with remote installation via video consultation. For complicated systems, our on site commissioning services assure optimum performance from day one.
Operator training includes normal maintenance procedures, blade replacement techniques and addressing typical problems. We provide comprehensive maintenance schedules including lubrication points, inspection intervals and replacement component specifications.
Honghua has manufacturing bases in South China, East China and Southeast Asia, which enable quick order fulfilment and lower transportation costs. In Southeast Asia, equipment warehouses assist regional customers in speeding up customs processes.
We provide various trading terms FOB (Shanghai/Ningbo), CIF, DAP. Export packing of precision parts in fumigated solid wood containers with multi-layer foam protection by professionals.
Generally, the domestic customs clearance process takes 1-3 business days to complete. We provide complete paperwork assistance for import formalities in the destination country.

All Die-Cutting & Slitting Integrated Machines are covered by a 12 month parts and technical support guarantee. Lifetime technical help to guarantee your equipment operates at top performance over its life cycle.
We have spare parts in stock, key components ready to be sent immediately. In most circumstances our engineers can troubleshoot difficulties remotely using diagnostic capabilities.
We provide preventive maintenance contracts. Schedule yearly inspections to discover wear patterns before they influence production quality.

Q: How does the machine retain registration between die cutting and slitting operations?
A: The centralised PLC synchronises all servo motors by means of high speed encoders. Adjustments are triggered by registration markings to maintain slitting lines within 0.05mm of die-cut patterns throughout the life of the manufacturing run.
Q: What causes edge burrs in slitting and how can we avoid it?
A: Burrs are often caused by improper blade gap or worn cutting edges. In our system we employ circular blades made of tungsten carbide with precise lateral adjustment mechanisms. Regular gap calibration and blade rotation schedules reduce burr development below 15 microns.
Q: Can this product do multi-layers of material at once?
A: Yes. The multi-station unwinder allows laminating multiple substrates before the die-cutting zone. The technology produces composite structures in one pass while keeping the tension balanced between all layers.
Q: What maintenance plan is needed to keep the high speed functioning constant?
A: We propose that you lubricate the drive gears weekly, clean the dust extraction channels daily, and calibrate the web guiding sensors monthly. Hydraulic fluid should be sampled regularly and changed or filtered annually.
Q: How does the system handle fluctuations in material thickness?
A: Pneumatic pressure compensation and floating rollers automatically compensate the die-cutting depth to variations in substrate gauge. Pressure sensors monitor the changes in resistance and relay to the hydraulic system to vary the force in 0.2 seconds.
