In the fields of graphic quick printing and packaging proofing, the birth of a finished product often requires passing through multiple processes: the outer shape needs through-cutting, the crease lines need half-cutting, the box structure needs creasing for forming, special edges need bevel cutting, and sometimes graphic information needs to be drawn. Under traditional methods, these processes had to be completed separately across multiple machines, such as die-cutting machines, creasing machines, cutting machines, and plotters. Materials flowing back and forth between different equipment was not only highly inefficient and occupied valuable workshop space, but it also generated cumulative errors due to multiple alignments, affecting the quality of the finished product. The multi-process integrated tool holder system of the IECHO PK series has completely changed this situation.
Multi-Capability in One Machine: Completing all processes in a single operation.
One of the core advantages of the IECHO PK series is its powerful multi-process integration capability. The equipment is equipped with a multi-process integrated tool holder system that can simultaneously install multiple different types of tools. Taking the PK4 flagship series as an example, it is configured with 4 fixed tool holders and 1 universal tool holder, allowing users to keep their most commonly used tools permanently installed based on their specific business characteristics. For instance, an oscillating knife is used for through-cutting and half-cutting of thick materials, a creasing wheel is used for the creasing and forming of box structures, a graphic knife is used for through-cutting and half-cutting on advertising label materials, and a bevel cutter is used for edge chamfering treatments. In the cutting software, users can define attributes for different lines within the design file: which lines require through-cutting, which require half-cutting, which require creasing, and which require bevel cutting. While running, the machine will automatically recognize these attributes and automatically call up the corresponding tools during the processing to complete each respective process.
Scenario Application: Comprehensive coverage of graphics and packaging.
This capability holds extensive application value in graphic and packaging scenarios. In the graphic industry, producing a hardcover bidding document might require through-cutting the cover’s outer shape, half-cutting the spine crease line, creasing the cover fold, and drawing gold-stamping alignment lines. In the packaging industry, creating a premium box type requires through-cutting the outer contour shape, half-cutting the crease lines, creasing the forming folds, and bevel cutting the edges for seamless fitting. In the advertising industry, producing a three-dimensional display prop might require through-cutting the KT board, half-cutting the surface lamination film, creasing the fold lines, and milling the edge shapes. All of these complex orders can be completed by the IECHO PK series in a one-stop manner. Users no longer need to purchase dedicated equipment for every process, and no longer need to haul materials and repeat alignments between multiple machines. A single PK series machine is a complete post-press processing workshop.
Quality Assurance: A unified benchmark guarantees finished product consistency.
Another issue brought by flowing materials through multiple pieces of equipment is cumulative precision errors. When a material has its outer shape cut on a die-cutting machine and is then taken to a creasing machine for creasing, deviations are inevitable between the two alignments. Even if each deviation falls within the allowable range, adding them together can result in an unqualified finished product. The one-stop processing of the IECHO PK series completely eliminates this issue. Every processing step is completed under the exact same coordinate system and within the very same alignment, preventing any deviations caused by manual secondary alignment. This means that every single detail of the finished product aligns with pinpoint accuracy—the crease lines sit exactly where folding is required, and the creasing lines fall precisely on the inner side of the through-cut contour. The consistency and aesthetics of the finished product far exceed the multi-equipment transfer method. The multi-process integrated design of the IECHO PK series not only streamlines operations and saves space but also fundamentally elevates the quality of the finished product.
