TECHNICAL PARAMETER

1. Model                                                                             : TW-520C

The Hand Press Die Cutting Machine TW-520C is a thoughtfully engineered manual die cutting solution designed to provide consistent, precise, and safe cutting performance for a wide range of materials. Ideal for manufacturers and workshops that require reliable manual die cutting, the TW-520C delivers advanced control features that simplify operation while maximizing productivity and operator safety. Built with the latest technology and decades of industry experience, this model stands as a dependable workhorse in the die-cutting industry.

Automatic Stroke End Setting for Seamless Adaptation to Die Cuts of Different Heights

One of the most innovative features of the TW-520C is its automatic stroke end setting system, which intelligently adapts to die cuts of varying heights without requiring manual adjustment. Unlike traditional hand presses that need operators to manually set the minimum cutting spot or pressure for each die height, the TW-520C automates this critical adjustment. This feature ensures that whether you are working with thin leather sheets, thick rubber gaskets, or multi-layer fabric stacks, the machine will consistently stop at the exact height necessary to produce a perfect cut. This automatic control of the stroke end saves considerable setup time, reduces operator error, and ensures uniform quality across every cut, eliminating waste caused by over- or under-cutting.

Pressure Control Using Advanced Circuit Board Technology

The TW-520C integrates sophisticated circuit board pressure control technology, allowing operators to precisely regulate pressing pressure via an electric control system. Instead of relying solely on mechanical adjustments, the pressure can be smoothly set to the maximum required force through an intuitive potentiometer. This electronic pressure control not only enhances cutting accuracy but also optimizes energy use by allowing the press to exert just enough force to achieve clean cuts. Operators benefit from consistent pressing times governed by the electric device, while the mechanical parts experience less wear, extending the machine’s lifespan. By using this advanced pressure control, the TW-520C also facilitates quicker job changes and fine-tuning for different materials or die types, boosting overall production efficiency.

Enhanced Safety Through Dual-Handed Operation

Safety is a paramount consideration in any industrial machinery, and the TW-520C is designed with operator protection at its core. The pressing procedure is activated only by simultaneously pressing two switches with both hands, a feature that prevents accidental activation and ensures operators’ hands are safely away from the die-cutting area during pressing. This two-hand control system complies with international safety standards and reduces the risk of workplace injuries, giving operators peace of mind and allowing supervisors to confidently integrate the machine into production lines.

Ergonomic and User-Friendly Design for Reduced Operator Fatigue

The TW-520C’s design not only focuses on safety but also on operator comfort. Manual die cutting can be physically demanding, especially during long shifts, but this model incorporates ergonomic principles to reduce fatigue and enhance productivity.

• The handle and control switches are positioned for natural hand placement, minimizing strain.

• The mechanical leverage system ensures smooth and efficient transfer of force, reducing the physical effort required to operate the press.

• The work height and machine footprint are optimized for comfortable posture and easy access.

This ergonomic approach helps operators maintain consistent cutting quality throughout their workday without undue physical stress.

Robust Construction for Long-Term Durability

The TW-520C is built with a solid, durable frame designed to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. Its sturdy steel construction ensures minimal vibration and stable cutting action, which is crucial for maintaining precision over time. Quality materials and strict manufacturing standards result in a machine that delivers reliable performance with minimal maintenance. The robust body also supports higher cutting pressures, making it versatile enough to handle tough materials and complex die shapes without compromise.

The TW-520C’s ability to adapt stroke and pressure to different materials ensures clean, crisp cuts no matter the application.

Simple Operation Procedure

The TW-520C is designed for straightforward operation, making it accessible to operators of varying skill levels:

1. Material Loading: Place the material sheet or stack onto the cutting board attached to the press base.

2. Die Placement: Position the die securely on the material where the cut is desired.

3. Pressure and Stroke Setting: Use the potentiometer to adjust the pressing time and pressure as required for the specific job.

4. Two-Hand Activation: Simultaneously press the two control switches to initiate the press cycle.

5. Cutting Cycle: The swing arm lowers, applies pressure according to the set parameters, and then raises automatically.

6. Material Removal: Remove the cut pieces and prepare for the next cycle.

This user-friendly flow minimizes setup errors, speeds up processing, and ensures consistent output.

Maintenance and Longevity

Proper care and routine maintenance keep the TW-520C operating at peak performance for years:

• Routine Cleaning: Regularly clean the machine to remove dust, debris, and residue from materials.
