Die cutting machines (punches) DC - series:

LOUDA SYSTEMS can offer probably the most wide variety of punching machines covering almost every individual requirement of our customers. There are many options available covering the whole range from the sheet handling via the punch drive to the card handling and magazining. In case you are not able to find something covering your imaginations, do not hesitate to contact us in order to find a solution.

The DC 510 is a compact die cutting machine for non-secure cards. It is operated by means of an excenter hydraulic motor. The machine is semi-automatic; i.e. the operator is to feed the machine manually with the sheets to be punched. The registration in y-direction is also manually with the help of two laser pointers which have to cover printed crosses on the sheet for the right position. Once this is OK, the operator tips a foot switch and the sheet is processed automatically. After the punching the web is brought out of the machine automatically and the cards are stacked on to a conveyor to be taken away manually.

This machine is a very compact device requiring no extra cabinet and/or special requirements for installation. It may be very interesting for non-secure-card manufacturers and / or starters.

The DC 500 was designed as the first step into advanced card production. Manually fed, the process is activated by means of a foot switch starting with automatic alignment in y-direction. Of course the punch registration is automatically as well as the web disposal and the card stacking into LOUDA-standard magazines each capable for 500 cards. Once a magazine is filled, the automatic magazine changer places an empty magazine into the stacking position without stopping the operation.

The machine can be upgraded at a later time with an automatic sheet feeder. So the machine becomes full automatically.

The DC 501 is our best sold machine and busy for many years with all major card manufacturers worldwide. It is working full automatically with an automatic sheet feeder wherein a stack of sheets is placed on a trolley for processing. The machine set standards when it was lauched originally many years before. It was and will be continuously improved and brought to the state of the art especially with regard to the sensors and drives without loosing its proven accuracy, reliability and lifetime.

The base for this machine is the DC 501, but instead of the standard sheet feeder, this machine is equipped with a sheet feeder designed for "double sheets" (lamination format) and a cutting unit to half the sheets into a format allowing to use standard punching equipment. Thus, this is a very economic alternative for customers producing large (full) sheets with their printing presses and laminators as they do not have to invest for an extra guillotine to cut the sheets to size.

All machinery of the DC 50X - series are available with the following options:

Magazine buffer:

To be installed instead of the magazine changer allowing the customer "multi-machine-operation" with only one operator.

HS-Cylinder:

Higly recommended in case materials like ABS, PC and/or blends are used instead of PVC only. It is also to increase the throughput.

Sorting device:

Stacks cards of different design into individual magazines; i.e. no sorting after punching is necessary.

Reject system:

Reject cards are to be marked on the sheets before punching and will be rejected automatically after punching; i.e. these cards will not be placed into the magazines.

The C-port 3LF Automatic Card Punch is "economy" class machine driven by a superior mechanically powered system that delivers automated, high-volume cutting of printed material in any commercial format with accuracy of ± 0.1 mm. Optical sensors use registration mark tracking system holding cut-to-print tolerance of ± 0.1 mm. The faster speed of the mechanism shortens the punching cycle and together with a unique receptacle device eliminates the dwelling time for card stacking during the punching cycle, thereby resulting in much higher output.
A touch-screen operator interface with machine dialogue and self-diagnostic troubleshooting makes the C-port 3LF very easy to operate.
