Core Components and Technical Features of a 500-Ton Jigsaw Puzzle Die-Cutting Hydraulic Press

The 500-ton jigsaw puzzle die-cutting hydraulic press is the "heart" of the jigsaw puzzle forming process. It utilizes a massive and controllable pressure of 500 tons (approximately 5000 kN) to drive a specially designed steel die, precisely cutting the printed and laminated composite cardboard into hundreds or thousands of nested jigsaw puzzle pieces in one go, while keeping the pieces connected at "connecting points" to create conditions for subsequent automatic disassembly and packaging. Below, let's take a look at the sharing from Jianlong Hydraulic Technology for your reference!

1. Machine Structure (Determines Accuracy and Lifespan)

1.1 Frame Type (C-type or Gantry Type): The mainstream and recommended choice. High rigidity, minimal deformation, and good long-term accuracy retention. For products like jigsaw puzzles that require extremely high cutting consistency, the frame structure ensures even force distribution across the entire table surface, preventing incomplete cuts at the corners or over-cutting in the middle.

1.2 Four-Column Type: Lower cost and relatively simple maintenance, but with a very large table surface, parallelism may slightly decrease due to wear after long-term use. Suitable for applications with lower precision requirements or limited budgets.

2. Hydraulic System (Determines Performance and Energy Efficiency)

2.1 Servo Hydraulic System (Modern Mainstream):

2.1.1 Energy Saving: 30%-50% more energy efficient than traditional asynchronous motor hydraulic systems, operates only when needed, and has lower noise and oil temperature.

2.1.2 Precise Control: Extremely precise pressure, speed, and position control, enabling an ideal working curve of "fast descent-slow cut-pressure holding-fast return," protecting the mold and improving cutting quality.

2.1.3 This is a hallmark configuration for high-end jigsaw puzzle production.

3. Worktable and Sliders

3.1 Extra-Large Table: 500-ton models typically feature a 1200mm x 900mm or larger table. This allows:

3.1.1 Production of large jigsaw puzzles (e.g., over 1 meter).

3.1.2 "Layout Die Cutting," i.e., producing multiple standard-sized jigsaw puzzles simultaneously in a single stroke, greatly improving efficiency.

3.1.3 Place multiple layers of cardboard for stacking and cutting (requires a dedicated mold and feeding system).

3.2 High-precision parallelism: The parallelism error between the worktable and the slider must be controlled within an extremely small range (e.g., 0.02mm/m). This is a key inspection indicator for equipment leaving the factory.

4. Automated integration interface (key to unmanned production) A modern 500-ton die-cutting machine is not an isolated piece of equipment; it must be able to seamlessly integrate into an automated production line:

4.1 Front end: Interacts with an automatic feeder or robotic arm to accurately feed the cardboard to be cut.

4.2 Back end: Integrates an automatic waste removal system. This is absolutely crucial; it must automatically peel off and collect the outer edge waste instantly after die-cutting. The waste removal success rate must be close to 100%.

4.3 End end: Connects to an automatic material collection and stacking system to remove and neatly stack the die-cut puzzle pieces.

The 500-ton puzzle die-cutting hydraulic press is a precision heavy-duty automated workstation. It is not only a source of pressure but also a manifestation of precision, efficiency, and automated integration.
