Sandvik has launched a new range of high quality cutting plates for flat bed diecutting presses, which combine flatness with wear resistance. Manufactured with high accuracy on hardness, flatness and dimensional tolerance, the new Sandvik cutting plates are suitable for precise cutting with high quality cutting rules. Two versions are available with plate hardness designated Hard and Medium Hard. The Hard cutting plates have a hardness value of 540 +/- 25HV, while the Medium Hard a hardness value of 350 +/- 25. The new cutting plates are available in widths up to 1200mm, thicknesses from 1.0 up to 1.4mm and lengths to suit any flat bed cutting press. Flatness and straightness deviation of the plates is at 0.1% maximum of the strip width and 0.5mm/m max, respectively. Thickness and width variation is negligible, but does not exceed 0.015mm and +/- 0.60mm. All Sandvik cutting plates are laser cut for accuracy, laser marked with product name and dimensions and can be supplied with rounded corners if required.
