Dear Customers, Suppliers and Partners,
As you certainly all know, die-cutters care about rubber as much as they do about rules. Both components are essential to produce a high quality die, but as both are made of a completely different material – the first of rubber the latter of steel - diverse are the machines you need to cut them.
There are numerous solutions on the market to get your rubber cut. We from Serviform studied the subject in our usual way: we observed first, and then we listened to our customers. As soon as we catch the essential, we get into action and elaborate what we think might be a really intelligent solution for our customers.
RubbA, our automatic ejection rubber cutting machine, is a typical example. We learned that many die-cutters, especially the small and medium seize ones, need good quality cutting performance, decent cutting speed and mechanical reliability, but they also have to cope with a restricted budget mainly as far as service and running cost of the machines are concerned.
So, to respect the budget restrictions and the high operation/service costs, we went for a cutting system different from water jet, which has good quality, but is far too expensive to buy and to maintain.
We chose to work on a mechanical blade system which we developed expressly for the die-making industry. The result is a cut-to-size table made up of a mechanical head positioned above an x-y table with a much more stable structure than other mechanical cutting solutions.
Despite of other solutions available on the market for mechanical cutting, our RubbA machine is based on a super sturdy structure (cast aluminium) which guarantees mechanical strength and superior accuracy.
The mechanical rigidity and the original cantilevered tool arm allow you to apply accelerations and cutting speeds considerably higher than cutting systems based on plotters.
Another RubbA peculiar feature is the presence of a high luminosity beamer: projecting the cutting paths on the rubber sheet so the operator can easily decide where to cut the rubber and optimize the cutting path.
Comparing it with a classic water-jet, RubbA is definitely cheaper in terms of purchase price and running/maintenance costs. On top of it the RubbA can perform kiss cut, processing self-adhesive rubber without cutting the adhesive protection liner. At the end of the cutting process rubber is dry so it can be directly installed in the die.
But while designing RubbA, we did not only think of die-cutters! Thanks to our new tailored die-making software interface, RubbA speaks die-maker's language now! Direct CF2 and DDES format feed the machine, no additional file generation is required.
Also the optional RubbASave software allows to the operator to input the waste rubber shape and optimize the parts nesting in a super comfortable way.
