Advanced Laser Dies is the source for your most intricate and complex dies. With our combination of new technology; computerized lasers, steel rule processing, and our old-fashioned knifing skills, we build dies that others will tell you can't be done.
If you've been turned down by the rest, bring it to the best!
The die is not the limitation to what you can diecut. We work with you to meet your customers' needs. Take a look at some of our work.
Advanced Laser Dies has been providing close tolerance finished dies to the flexible circuit and membrane switch markets for many years. We are also experienced in the gasket, nameplate and folding carton businesses. Quality control equipment includes our Ocean Industries Accu-Gage coordinate measuring machine and a high powered stereo microscope. Our dies are second to none in quality and our customers can attest to our fine personalized service.
Our Reid Surface Grinder allows fabrication of small quantities of specialty rules, which saves time and money on many steel rule configurations. Our precision nick grinder combined with our "Engineered Ejection" rubber allows us to provide dies which are truly ready to go on the press.
Advanced
Laser Dies has been utilizing a computerized rule processor for several years
now. Though this is still a new technology, computerized rule processing systems
have been around for quite a few years. Pieces of steel rule are cut to
length, notched, mitered and bent without being touched by human hands. Multiple
pieces are perfectly identical to each other. The pieces of rule emerge from the
machine ready to be installed in the dieboard. The computer program is
saved and additional pieces of rule can be processed automatically at any time
in the future. This makes reknifing and replacing dies a snap. This also ensures
that any die repeated in the future will have the exact same pattern of steel
rule.
The
diemaker’s job is not eliminated. We still need master diemakers to set up the
machine and decide how to process each piece of rule. However, the
repetitious work of making piece after piece of rule is over. Think of how much
more work a diemaker can do with this burden removed. And think about how much
more quickly a die can be knifed. In fact, we often begin processing rule
for a die before the dieboard has been made. Computerized rule processing allows
us to build dies more accurately, more quickly and more economically than ever
before.
