How Does the IC Card Die-Cutting Machine Improve Card Quality and Production Speed?​

The demand for “high efficiency + high quality” recognition drives us to examine even the most crucial needs of overseas customers who manufacture cards. The IC Card Die-Cutting Machine also handles the cutting of membership cards, business cards, game cards, ID cards, access control cards, attendance cards, IC cards. It is also programmable to handle the die cutting of cards of different materials such as metal cards, wooden cards, and book covers. Through upgrades and functionality improvements, we eliminate the potential of “high-speed production and stable quality” conflicts. The following assesses and describes the overseas customers’ equipment needs and characteristics.

IC Card Die-Cutting Machine

1.Hardware configuration is the basis for rapid production and stable maintenance

The machine’s die-cutting of cards at high speed and quality hinges on the immaculately crafted primary components of the machine as well as overseas clients processing cards in large volumes:​

High-Rigidity Machine Body and Servo Drive System:

The machine’s body is constructed from high-grade, high-strength steel and is integrally cast to avoid vibration and deviation during rapid handling. This is to ensure high operational speeds, integrated with a high-grade imported servo motor with a response time of 0.01 second and capable of continuous die-cutting of 300 to 500 cards every minute. It automatically adjusts the driving power for cards made of different materials, be it plastic, metal, or wood. This is to prevent jamming or shutdown due to variances in material hardness. ​

Intelligent Feeding and Tension Control System:

It has a dual-station automatic feeding mechanism on roll-shaped substrates whereby the system does not demand a shutdown during material replacement to maintain the production flow. In addition, the automatic feeding system integrating a tension sensor that adjust the relative tightness of the card’s material over the card in real time will facilitate die-cutting without deviation on the card position. It is most suitable in high precision dimensioning products like ID and IC cards within the allowable turned-around time to mitigate the incidence of speeding issued cards.

2.Automated classification is one of the factors for rapid production​

 

The intelligent software system of the IC Card Die-Cutting Machine continues to enhance the stability of high-speed production to satisfy the “unmanned operation” requests made by overseas clientele.

The machine incorporates an industrial control

system with a database of over 200 common faults (tool wear, feeding deviation, etc.). The system captures critical die-cutting parameters including pressure, speed, and temperature and monitors these in real-time with embedded sensors. Upon parameter threshold breaches, the system executes an alarm and preemptively mitigates the production of defect cards by autonomously adjusting speed or cutting other parameters. Equipment operation data can be accessed by overseas customers to conduct remote monitoring.

The IC Card Die-Cutting machine with integrated automatic card classification and sorting functions simplifies production. It high-speed die-cuts and automatically classifies cards into specified output containers. The IC Card Die-Cutting Machine can sort cards by type (membership/game) and size (standard/special-shaped) after die cutting without any manual intervention. This maximizes card transport safety by reducing friction during collection and protective containers and obviates manual sorting, making the system ideal for large overseas card packaging and assembly operations. This IC Card Die-Cutting Machine with integrated automatic card classification and sorting functions simplifies production assembly for overseas card factories.

3.Smoothness and accuracy of finished cards

Finished card quality improvement possibilities with these innovations on the IC Card Die-Cutting Machine pivot on two dimensions: smoothness and accuracy and these accommodate the processing needs of cards of different materials:​

High-precision die-cutting tools and pressure control:

Tungsten steel die-cutting tools are employed to handle the hard characteristics of metal cards, with a blade accuracy of 0.005mm, to ensure die-cutting leaves edges without burrs or indentations. A flexible pressure adjustment system is equipped to automatically modulate the die-cutting pressure (range: 5-20N) to the wood density to avoid breakage and rough edges. Hot air edge trimming functions are activated when die-cutting plastic cards to smooth the edges and remove flash.

The apparatus has been fitted with high-definition CCD vision systems. In each recording session, they obtain 300 images of cards and measure them up against real time size standards, for example ISO standard IC card: 85.6×54mm. Positioning Error has been maintained within ±0.02mm, This fully addresses the die-cutting deviations for special shaped cards and non standard size cards, for example, mini business cards. In the case of large size materials, for example, book covers, the system has been designed to use dual vision lenses that can be expanded to achieve panoramic positioning for overall die-cutting precision.

IC Card Die-Cutting Machine
