Abstract
The die-cutting of large-format cardboard concentrates very high forces on the pressure plate and its drive. This paper argues for replacing the traditional monoblock pressure plate with a two-section design, in which the plate is split into independently driven sections. Dividing the load between sections lowers the instantaneous force on the drive, reduces plate deformation, and improves the uniformity of cutting and creasing. The study defines the conditions under which the two-section plate is justified for high-capacity die-cutting automata.
