The stamping process has always been the most important part of manufacturing smart cards, from laminating large-format paper to producing finished cards that comply with ISO standards. It determines the quality and production speed of the product. As a smart card equipment supplier headquartered in Shenzhen, China, we are well aware of the problems faced by global business card manufacturers: rising labor costs, strict requirements for cutting accuracy, and sorting issues caused by producing many different types of cards in small batches.
The purpose of this article is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of our latest fully automatic PVC card punching machine from the perspective of professional production technology. This is not just a punching machine; it is also an intelligent terminal that uses modular classification collection, servo drive technology, and a visual positioning system. Let's forget all the fancy marketing talk and show you how this device can make your card production line better and faster by using real-world examples and specific technical details.
1, Core features and technical functions of the product
This is a high-end machine that can punch cards made of PVC, PET, ABS, and other materials. The old hydraulic system consumed a lot of energy and had a slow response, but this one has been fully upgraded to a 7.5 kW high-power servo drive system. This enables it to control the stamping process very accurately and use less energy.
The optimal texture and precision for stamping
For products with high demand, such as bank cards and gaming cards, edge burrs are unacceptable defects. Our machine can cut with an accuracy of ± 0.05 mm to ± 0.1 mm, which is the best in the industry. This is possible because of the combination of rigid frames and precise molds. CR12 mold steel uses special heat treatment to maintain the blade clearance constant (between 0.008 and 0.015 mm). This makes the edges of the perforated card smooth and flat, without burrs or other changes, giving the perforated card a unique and beautiful texture. This card doesn't need to be trimmed anymore; it can directly proceed to the next step.
For industrial use, it is sturdy and stable.
The main components of the machine are made of integral casting structure, and the core transmission components are high-precision ball screws and linear guides imported from other countries. The servo motor directly moves the screw module for stamping and feeding. This eliminates the backlash caused by belt transmission. Therefore, the repeated positioning accuracy and service life of the equipment are greatly improved. After forging and quenching, the hardness of the mold steel reaches HRC60 or higher. This mold can be used over 2 million times, ensuring stable and reliable operation of the equipment in an industrial environment that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
One machine for multiple uses: breaking through the limitations of card types and expanding applications
This machine can do more than just print PVC cards. In addition to conventional bank cards and SIM cards (3 × 8/4 × 8/5 × 5 layout), we have also created special features for some industries. Due to its stable feeding mechanism and adjustable punching pressure, it can punch book covers and manufacture industrial filter paper with high precision. This design allows customers to try new businesses with a machine that can do many different things.
Integrated customized Solution: Integrated hot stamping process
We can meet the specific needs of high-end membership cards and anime flashcards, as our devices have reserved process expansion interfaces. According to the customer's needs, you can place a hot stamping module in front of or behind the stamping unit. This makes it possible for online or offline hot stamping to have high precision. The integrated solution combining stamping and hot stamping can reduce positioning errors and losses during card circulation.
Fully automatic intelligent sorting and classification collection system
This is the best way to give workers more time using this device. To use an old punch card machine for multi-cavity splicing, people must manually separate the cards on the back, which can easily cause confusion. We have an advanced system that can automatically sort and classify:
Collect in order: PLC ensures that the stacking order of cards is the same as the stacking order of cards that require serial numbers (such as serial number cards and pre-personalized data cards) on paper. This can prevent order confusion.
Collect by category: The high-sensitivity visual system can see the positioning marks on different patterned paper, and the servo system controls the slide rail to accurately feed the cards from different mold cavities into the 10-32 independent card receiving slots on the right side. This means that the machine can automatically cut a piece of paper into as many piles as the pattern on top. This completely solves the problem of mixed materials.
Technological maturity and data monitoring
This model has a PLC control system and a human-machine interface, which is easy to use and can track production data at any time. This system can determine when problems occur, such as heavy trucks, blockages, shortages, etc. If there is a problem, it will automatically shut down, sound an alarm, and display problem information on the touch screen. This makes problem-solving faster and keeps the pass rate above 99.8%.
2, Application scenarios and scope of PVC card punching machine
Business card manufacturers around the world are using our PVC punching machine. It can be used in many different ways, but the following are the main ways:
- Financial and identification cards: credit cards, bank cards, social security cards, other forms of ID cards, and financial cards. This device complies with the ISO7810/7816 standard, which means it can be used anywhere in the world.
- Communication and smart cards: such as SIM cards, phone cards, and access cards. High-precision stamping protects internal chips from damage.
- Entertainment and Collectibles Market: The animation and gaming industry is developing rapidly, with a high demand for game cards and anime collectible cards. The "burr-free" feature of this device makes card collection look more beautiful.
- Poker and board games: Keep the edges smooth and have a good grip in high-speed production mode.
- Industrial and specialty printing: As mentioned earlier, its powerful stamping capability can be used to manufacture high-precision paper products (such as books) and industrial supplies (such as filter paper).
3, How technology can help solve problems in production
After serving customers around the world for a long time, we have learned that most business card printing companies have three main issues. With the help of new technologies, our equipment has helped solve these problems:
Addressing the issues of labor shortage and difficulty in sorting
- Pain point: Old-style clocks in machines can only cut and punch cards. After clocking in, more than ten workers must sit around the table and sort the cards according to the patterns on them. It not only doesn't provide much help but also makes mistakes that make customers feel uneasy.
- Solution: The device uses the "automatic classification and sorting" function, which can immediately place different cards into different slots on the layout. It doesn't matter whether the layout is 2 × 5 or 5 × 5; Only one person needs to load and check it. The backend will automatically stack and collect. This reduces 80% of the work required for backend sorting and ensures that the sorting is always 100% correct.
Addressing the issue of cutting waste caused by material deformation
- Pain point: After PVC lamination, thin or thick materials often bend and shrink. When you use traditional mechanical positioning punching, you often waste a lot of material because it will change the shape.
- Solution: The high-resolution visual camera positioning system of the device solves this problem. It no longer uses the physical edges of the material. On the contrary, it will search for a "crosshair" or "cursor" on the worksheet to find the correct position. If the material expands, contracts, or undergoes slight deformation due to heat, the device can change the stamping coordinates based on the position of the printed pattern. This reduces the scrap rate.
Resolve the issue of devices being unable to handle various orders effectively.
- Pain point: Many devices on the market can only manufacture ordinary PVC. When they discover ABS hard cards, PET environmentally friendly materials, or companies that need to simultaneously punch and cut books, they can't do anything.
- Solution: This machine can easily handle PVC, ABS, PET, PETG, and even paper materials, as it has a lot of 7.5 kW servo power and programmable pressure and speed settings. This feature is applicable to many different programs, which gives production companies the confidence to accept many different orders.
