GRINDLESS ANVIL - SmoothCut

Smooth Die Cutting Technology

Bring flat-bed cutting quality to your rotary die cutter

SERRANVIL SmoothCut combines an advanced anvil cylinder with countercylinder rotation to deliver smooth, precise and consistent die cutting while reducing waste and extending the life of dies and anvil covers.

Higher cutting quality

A smooth anvil surface helps produce clean, precise cuts with consistent quality throughout the life of the blanket.

Increased accuracy

Countercylinder rotation, fix and free ring possibilities and wider transversal movement support precise and uniform die cutting.

Longer tooling life

Smart design helps extend the useful life of cutting dies and anvil covers, reducing replacement requirements over time.

Less waste

Cleaner and more accurate cutting helps minimize re-cuts, material waste and unnecessary resource consumption.

How it works

Rotate the cutting surface for smoother, more consistent results

SmoothCut combines anvil cylinder technology with countercylinder rotation, distributing contact across the cutting surface to support clean and accurate die cutting.

1

Cut

The rotary die performs the cutting operation against the smooth SERRANVIL surface.

2

Rotate

Countercylinder rotation changes the working position of the cutting surface during operation.

3

Distribute wear

Wider transversal movement and the ring configuration help distribute contact more effectively across the surface.

4

Maintain quality

The system maintains a smooth cutting process to deliver clean, uniform edges and consistent results.

Key features

Advanced anvil design for precision and consistency

Smooth cutting surface

The smooth anvil surface supports precise cutting and consistent quality throughout blanket life.

Countercylinder rotation

Rotating countercylinder technology contributes to a smoother and more uniform cutting process.

Fix & free ring configuration

Unique fix and free ring possibilities provide additional flexibility within the anvil cylinder configuration.

Wider transversal movement

Increased transversal movement supports better distribution of the cutting action across the available surface.

No piggyback effect

The system eliminates the piggyback effect to help achieve cleaner, more consistent cutting results.

Extended component life

Smart design helps extend the life of both cutting dies and anvil covers.

Standardized spare parts

Standardized components simplify maintenance and replacement when service is required.

Low maintenance

User-friendly operation and low maintenance requirements help simplify everyday production.

SMOOTH
High-quality cutting

Flat-bed quality from your rotary die cutter

SmoothCut combines a smooth cutting surface with countercylinder rotation to improve cutting consistency, eliminate the piggyback effect and produce clean, uniform edges.

Cutting performance
