The Flexo Plate Cutter offers a safer, faster, and more accurate method for cutting flexographic plates. With this innovative tool, you can conveniently pre-cut flexo on a flat surface, eliminating the need to cut on a round surface. By using the sightline strip, you can align precisely to your target marks for the first and second cuts. This reduces the risk of costly mistakes that can lead to production downtime and the need to reschedule work. Additionally, the Flexo Plate Cutter enables you to create seamless splices quickly, saving both time and money.

This cutter is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, allowing all operators to achieve precise flexo cutting with a little training and practice. It features a dual cutter head that provides two options for joining plates. You can choose to create a bevelled overlapping join or a 5° undercut, ensuring that both plate edges meet perfectly when applied to the roller. This perfect join prevents ink traps and any deterioration of the adhesive, resulting in high-quality prints.

The Flexo Plate Cutter is specially engineered to prioritize your safety while increasing production efficiency. Its design ensures a lifetime of straight, precise, and silent cutting. The cutting head incorporates built-in self-aligning ball bearing rollers that operate on twin steel tracks, eliminating any play in the sliding action. The base is constructed with a heavy-duty, one-piece aluminum extrusion, providing complete stability. With this level of precision and accuracy, seamless splices are easily achieved, reducing costly mistakes. Furthermore, the 5-degree undercut facilitates a tight join when the flexo is applied to the cylinder, enhancing print quality.

The cutting head of the Flexo Plate Cutter features a spring-loaded bevel and 5° undercut blade holder equipped with ball and thrust bearings. This design ensures perfect alignment and superb blade control, resulting in precise and clean cuts. The cutting head is mounted on two stainless steel tracks with hardened steel ball track rollers, working together to offer the ultimate blade control.

                                                                      
          
                                                   
                                             

Safety is a paramount consideration in the design of the Flexo Plate Cutter. It eliminates the hazardous practice of cutting flexo by hand with a knife. Magnetic blade cartridges make it safe, simple, and quick to switch between different plate thicknesses. Every aspect of the tool has been meticulously designed to prioritize your safety during operation.

Operating the Flexo Plate Cutter is straightforward and efficient. The tool allows for various blade depths to be pre-set within different cartridges, enabling precise and repeatable cuts by simply switching to a new cartridge. This eliminates variability and ensures that you achieve the right cut every time. The pre-set depths for the blades are clearly identified and calibrated using a simple color-coding system. This user-friendly feature streamlines the cutting proces

The ergonomically designed cutting head of the Flexo Plate Cutter makes it comfortable to use over extended periods and suitable for both left-handed and right-handed operators. Its smooth sliding action ensures precise cutting without any noticeable friction. In addition to cutting flexographic plates, this versatile tool is also capable of cutting floor graphics, vinyl, rubber matting, corrugated cardboard, and foam-centered board. Its multifunctionality makes it a valuable asset for various applications.
