A magnetic cylinder is one of the most crucial components in rotary die-cutting systems. It ensures that flexible dies are positioned precisely and that cutting results remain accurate throughout production.
However, even the most precisely manufactured magnetic cylinders can lose accuracy over time without proper care. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of the cylinder but also ensures consistent cutting quality and production efficiency.
In label and packaging production, cutting precision directly affects product quality.
A poorly maintained magnetic cylinder can lead to:
Uneven die pressure
Misalignment and cutting errors
Increased wear on flexible dies
Machine vibration or noise
Proper maintenance helps avoid these problems and ensures your cylinder continues to deliver perfect concentricity and stable magnetic force.
The surface of the magnetic cylinder must remain clean and smooth for optimal die adhesion and cutting accuracy.
After every job, remove dust, ink, and adhesive residue using a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution.
Avoid abrasive tools or solvents that can damage the surface coating.
Check for any metallic particles that might reduce magnetic strength or scratch the die.
Tip: Using compressed air can help clear small metal shavings without touching the surface directly.
Magnetic cylinders are finely machined to achieve perfect balance and precision. Even small impacts can cause microscopic dents or concentricity errors.
Always handle the cylinder carefully during installation and removal.
Avoid placing tools or dies directly on the surface.
Use protective covers or storage racks when the cylinder is not in use.
Over time, the magnetic strength of the cylinder may decrease slightly, especially in high-production environments.
To ensure consistent die-holding power:
Periodically test magnetic force across the surface.
If you notice weak adhesion or inconsistent die holding, contact your manufacturer for inspection or magnet replacement.
Precision is key for smooth rotary cutting.
Schedule periodic dynamic balance testing to detect wear or imbalance.
Ensure the shaft and bearing areas are free of rust or contamination.
Recalibrate if the cylinder shows signs of vibration or uneven cuts.
Note: Even a small imbalance can lead to faster die wear and uneven cutting pressure.
When not in use, store your magnetic cylinders in a dry, dust-free, and temperature-stable environment.
Avoid exposure to high humidity, which can lead to corrosion.
Store cylinders horizontally on padded supports to prevent deformation.
Apply a light anti-rust oil film on the surface if storage will be long-term.
Choosing a high-quality magnetic cylinder from the start makes maintenance easier and results more stable.
