Key Considerations for Purchasing and Using a 500-Ton Jigsaw Puzzle Die-Cutting Hydraulic Press

A 500-ton die-cutting hydraulic press is a highly customized, technology-intensive core production equipment. When planning a "500-ton jigsaw puzzle production line," the selection of this equipment directly determines the final product's quality baseline and production efficiency ceiling. Below is a summary from Jianlong Hydraulic Technology for your reference!

1. Core Performance and Capacity Analysis

1.1 Production Capacity:

• Single-pass forming: Easily handles large jigsaw puzzles with 1000, 2000, or even more pieces.

• Layout production: With 2-4 500-piece jigsaw puzzle molds arranged on the table, 2-4 puzzles are produced in a single press, doubling efficiency.

1.2 Production Cycle Time (Theoretical Calculation):

• High-speed servo motors combined with an automated system can optimize the single cycle time (including feeding, pressurizing, waste removal, and material collection) to 8-12 seconds.

• Calculated at 10 seconds per stroke, hourly capacity = 3600 seconds / 10 seconds = 360 strokes.

• If each stroke produces 2 puzzle pieces, the hourly capacity reaches 720 pieces.

1.3 Precision and Quality: Ensure all puzzle pieces are cut cleanly and precisely, without burrs or sticking, and with consistent tightness when assembled.

2. Selection, Procurement, and Usage Considerations

2.1 Define the Requirements List:

• Maximum finished puzzle size (determines table size).

• Main production quantity and thickness (determines mold and pressure requirements; 500 tons is usually sufficient).

• Target daily/monthly capacity (calculates required production cycle time).

• Factory conditions (size, floor load-bearing capacity, electricity).

2.2 Key Supplier Evaluation Points:

• Professional Experience: Does the supplier have successful case studies of puzzle or similar precision paper die-cutting machines? Video viewing or on-site visit is required.

• Automation Capabilities: Can you provide a complete automated unit encompassing "hydraulic press + feeding + waste removal + material collection"? Is the waste removal solution reliable?

• Control System: PLC brand, servo system brand, user-friendliness of the HMI, and support for data acquisition (with an interface reserved for the MES system).

• Precision Assurance: Inquire about key parameters such as machine body processing technology, parallelism inspection report, and pressure holding accuracy.

2.3 Mold Coordination Considerations:

• The equipment supplier should be able to recommend or collaborate with professional jigsaw die manufacturers. Mold and machine matching and debugging are crucial.

• Understand quick mold change solutions (such as template standardization and positioning pin systems) to reduce downtime when changing product styles.

2.4 Investment and Maintenance:

• The budget should include the main equipment, automation peripherals, initial molds, installation, commissioning, and training costs.

• Inquire about the warranty period, daily maintenance points, and spare parts recommendations for the hydraulic system and key sensors.
