Die Cutting Demonstration by Mag-Knight

This page is intended to help you, our valued customer, understand exactly what die cutting is.  The video is 15 seconds long and shows Ski Goggles being cut. 

Video Explained: We manufactured a steel rule die to their specifications. Then we lined it with white ejection foam to aid in part removal.  The die in the video is the white board.  The material (.02 anti-fog lens material) is placed between the die and the head of the press.  When the press is cycled, the head of the machine comes down and forces the material into the die using 15 tons of pressure.  When the press comes back up, the ejection foam pops the parts out.  The parts are stacked, the waste is removed and the process is repeated.

Video Format: The video is a .wmv (window movie file) that should open your default video player when clicked.  If the video plays in a small box, you can increase the size by clicking the title of the video and choosing "play in default player".  If you would rather download the video to your hard drive, click here... download video
