Purpose: Efficiently cuts shapes from various materials using moving dies under a traveling cutting head. Good for multiple parts. Mechanism: Hydraulic/mechanical power moves a cutting head across a fixed bed. Dies on the material are pressed by the head to cut. Function: High-volume, consistent shape cutting, especially for large or nested parts. Flexible die use. Types: Vary in size and cutting force for different materials and production needs. Control: Manual to automated with programmable parameters. Application: Leather goods, garment parts, rubber gaskets, packaging, etc.
