Sprint Balance Pro has been developed by the team at C&T Channel Matrix to improve the balancing of flatbed cutting dies for both folding carton and corrugated converters.
Sprint Balance Pro replaces the traditional balancing method on a die board using rule. The traditional method of balancing the cutting die uses a 23.80 cutting rule set at intervals along the back of the cutting die where there is no box or carton profile. If converters don’t balance the die correctly, this can lead to excessive wear on the grip edge and excessive patch up.
The company claims there are many advantages to the new method of balance. Where previously converters would calculate rules, they can now simply replace with a single strip of Sprint Balance Pro rubber. In addition, the new rubber can be used on the side of the die board.
For die makers, Sprint Balance Pro replaces several production processes, requires less cutting rule, labour time and reduces laser time. Additionally, it eradicates the need for rubber on each side of the cutting rule and is highly cost effective.
Howard Mead, Group Commercial Director, C&T, comments, “Sprint Balance Pro offers our customers a cost-effective, quick, easy solution to the issues caused by the traditional balancing methods and demonstrates our commitment to working with our clients to ensure they achieve the best creasing results and optimise their matrix performance.”
