Clicker Press

Before 1800s ,there was no clicker press .The workers used the hammer to hit the cutting die mold knife,so that the cutting die can cut out the material .the die cutting means that cutting out the parts with the cutting die .This process is called die cutting ,and the machine is called die cutting machine or die cutting press .

When before 1800s,only hand cutting used in workshop.The hand cutting is very slowly ,so the clicker press was invented and used in shoes industry at the first time ,so that can speed up the cut working and save time.

At the 1900s ,many shoes factories are used clicker press to cut out the shoes upper leather .

1.2 what is the exact clicker press ?

Clicker press also known as clicking press or clicking machine is the machine instead of hand hammer ,which is a kind of machine that cuts materials using a cutting knife die. The “clicker” name comes from the sound (click) when the material is cut. May be hand, pneumatic, or hydraulic powered.The “press” name comes from hydraulic press.Because it is hydraulic driven which is one kinds of hydraulic press that for cutting nonmetallic material (leather ,fabric ,paper,rubber,cork,film etc.,)by a cutting die mold.

So the clicker press is one of die cutting machines or presses . The cutting die mold can make sure all the parts are the same .There have several kinds of cutting die molds can be used to work with clicker press.The nomal cutting die is steel rule die ,and the other is forged die .

The material that can be cutting by clicker press below :
Felt,Paper,cardboard,Sponge or Foam,Cork,Plastic,Leather,Foam,Rubber,Fibre,composite,Fabric,Textiles
and many more.in sheet or roll .

The products that can be cutting by clicker press below :shoes,bags,gloves,packaging,gasket,puzzles,slippers,pads,mats,autoparts,etc.,

1.3 development of clicker press.

With the development of technology and the increase of labor costs, high-speed, intelligent machines are increasingly needed to replace the original traditional machines.Many factories now require fully automated production lines, which can continuously save costs and increase production. At the same time clicker press manufacturers are constantly developing new clicker press products, which can meet customer needs.so the automatic clicker press system will be invented and used in many industry in the future.

Clicker Press can be used in many industries and die cutting out materials :automotive, abrasive, aerospace, carpet, composites, computers, converting, electronics, envelopes, foam, furniture, gasket, leather goods, non-woven, medical, packaging, plastic, shoes, sporting goods, textile, thermoforming, wood, paper, shoes and fabric, plastic cards and many others.

Before using the clicker press ,you must make sure:

1.1 Enough hydraulic oil.

The normal clicker press is hydraulic driven. So all physical-chemical characteristics of the oil to be used on the machine, please refer to the unified mark “ISO 46 3,8o Engler at 50℃” easily recognised by all hydraulic oil retailers.We advise to use MOBIL DTE 25, or SHELL TELLUS 46, or the hydraulic meeting the standard of ISO VG 46.

1.2 corrected power supply.

Supply the power in the neighborhood: 3~＋PE; 380V/50HZ/,220V/60Hz; or single phase 220V/50HZ,110V/50Hz etc.,

1.3 Corrected installation:(For example : Gerosn GRA-220 )

1.3.1. Remove the anti-rust grease on the surface of the Machine.

1.3.2. Put the rubber pads on the installation holes of the base of the Machine, and place the Machine stably .For installation, it’s advised to leave enough space for operation, and to think of the convenience for feeding-in and feeding-out.

1.3.3. Open the cover of the electric box, connect the power supply for the machine tools according to the electrical principle, and have the reliable grounding accordingly.Please ask the professional (the electrician) to have the reliable grounding.

1.3.4. Turn the power switch of the Machine from “0” to “1”. If the motor turns in the correct direction, the machine head would raise gradually. Otherwise, please adjust the phase of the power supply accordingly.

1.3.5. Start up the Machine for idle running about 5 minutes. Then, put the chock under the machine head, turn the potentiometer to “0”, press the handle button by two hands at the same time. Repeat it for several times so as to discharge out the air on the oil tank.

1.3.6. Switch off the power supply. The oil pump would stop running about 40 seconds later, and the machine head would decline slowly.

1.4 The clicker press works process:

1.4.1 install the machine ,see the process details above.

1.4.2 Please turn the Cutting Depth Setting Knob to the minimum position.
The two buttons should be pressed at the same time (with the difference no more than 1 second). Otherwise, it would not work accordingly.

1.4.3 Cutting Depth Setting & Trial Cutting

The clicker press needs to be debugged, so as to ensure the normal operation of the machine.

1) Turn the Cutting Depth Setting Knob to the minimum position, and turn the Cutting Selection Switch on “Standard”.

2) Put the materials for cutting on the table accordingly.

3) Put the die-cutter on the materials.

4) Turn the Die-Cutter Setting Handwheel clockwise, the machine head would lift downward. Turn the Die-Cutter Setting Handwheel anticlockwise, the machine head would lift upward. Make the machine head about 10mm above the die cutter.

5) Move the machine head just above the die cutter, and make the machine head on the central line of the die cutter as much as possible (Drawing 9).

6) Press the two buttons on the handle at the same time so as to have the blanking.

7) If the die-cutter fails to cut down the materials completely, please turn the know to enlarge the cutting depth first, and then press the two buttons on the handle at the same time for blanking. In addition, it’s not advised to make the die-cutter to cut the base plate too deep. If so, please adjust the setting know to decrease the cutting depth accordingly.

8) After completing the commission for the standard cutting, it’s allowed to run the Machine.

1.4.4 Cutting works process:

1)Just simply place the sheet of soft material onto the cutting pad attached to the base of press.

2)Position the formed cutting die, cycle the two-hand push button controls,so the beam descends under hydraulic pressure .

3)Die cuts the shape by the cutting die mold .

4) The beam returns to the desired height setting

5) Move the beam away (left or right) ,Position the formed cutting die again for next cutting.

3.The next level is Full head clicker press.

The “Full head” name ,comes from the head that the size same as the cutting bed .so called full head clicker press.It is for using high or low volume production for cutting both roll and sheet materials – single or multi layered.And most for cutting the large parts .The full head also called beam press .Most automatic beam press have auto sheet or roll  feed system.

the below device can be added to the press systems:

4. Small table top clicker press.

The “small table top” name ,comes from the press that can be putting on the tabletop .it is also known as benchtop clciker press .It is fully hand clicker press for very small parts cuttign and low volume production. Most for some leather crafts .Normal cutting force less than 5 ton .the nomal cutting force is from 1 ton to 5 tons .And size less than 380mm.

1. You need to know what is the exact material that you want to be cutting from.Is it in sheet or roll material.The material size such as length ,width ,thickness .

2. What is the max cutting out parts size or your max cutting die size .

3.What is the production capacity requirement.Do you want manual or semi-auto or fully automatic machinery .

When you get the above ifnormation ,You need to caculate the cutting force that the material required and the cutting bed size must larger than the material.
