Features & Benefits

Just some of the many benefits of buying a Preco Flat Bed Die Cutting machine.

Die-to-Pattern Registration System

Beyond available fiber-optic sensors, Preco is the leader in camera-vision-based registration for flatbed die cutting.

Simple Makeready Technique

Preco's logical and efficient cutting plate access and tool exchange allow easy rule shimming, with the most hassle-free and straightforward mounting of die boards in the industry.

Touch Panel Microprocessor Control

Preco die cutters easily make changes to cutting pressure, material index, stroke height, batch count, parts removal adjustments and many other parameters to match the work at hand.

Quick Change Tooling

Preco flatbed presses are renowned for their ability to switch steel-rule die boards for each job changeover in less than 30 seconds.

Modular Finishing Accessories 

We make available parts removal and collection methods through a variety of handling techniques as well as solutions for preparing material before entering the press.

Micrometer-Stop Depth-of-Cut Management

The ability of a Preco press to prevent die board rule from striking the cutting plate and to kiss cut consistently to thin liners, extends die life and assures continuous cut parts quality.

Roll-Feed Material Transport

Whether sheet or web fed, Preco’s use of roll-feeds prevents the operator’s hands from entering an unsafe cutting area and being injured.

Custom Machine and Line Solution

Preco assists many of its customers with the integration of our die cutting capabilities to factory-supplied manufacturing lines for turn-key production.
