PRECISION FORMING

Vision-aligned precision forming and die cutting

Machine vision aligns printed features, tooling holes, edges or reference marks before precision forming or die cutting with a steel die or etched die.

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

The correct approach depends on the workpiece reference, die type, material behavior, cutting force, loading method and measurable acceptance criteria. These conditions are reviewed as one production process.

APPLICATIONS

Applicable workpieces and processes

These are common applications. Material behaviour, imaging and the acceptance method must be validated with the actual workpiece.

  • FPC and PI coverlay forming
  • ITO and touch-panel outline cutting
  • Printed films and membrane switches
  • Irregular holes and internal or external profiles

FAQ

Questions about Vision-aligned precision forming and die cutting

Should the machine be selected before the die is confirmed?

The machine and die should be reviewed together. Die dimensions, force, locating method and workpiece behavior affect the suitable machine configuration.

Can catalog accuracy be applied directly to every material?

No. Published values are tied to stated test conditions; final acceptance must be verified with the actual material, tool and measurement method.
