Line interfaces: Design input
Write substrate thickness, coatings or adhesive layers, liner that must remain intact, repeat length, and whether the cut is through the web or kiss-cut to a backing. Name existing unwind, guide and take-away equipment if the station must bolt into a running line. Representative production samples belong with the RFQ so bidders are not guessing edge quality on a different board.
Supplier answer
Ask for die-cylinder drawings, magnetic-cylinder height when a flexible die is proposed, registration method, waste-removal arrangement and the trial rate on the named stack. The reply should state how registration and scrap stripping will be shown, including startup waste after a tool change. Throughput claims need the material and test conditions; they are not a duty-cycle guarantee. Connected load in kW and the three-phase supply belong with the station, not only with an upstream printer. A flat-bed press specification cannot qualify a rotary replacement by itself.
