User-friendly rules suitable for short runs and standard requirements. Identical hardness of the body and the bevel. The smooth surface decarburisation process assures excellent bending results. The body is produced shaved or ground on customer's request.

Shaved rule with exact height tolerance, body characteristics as above, additionally edge hardened. Innovative hardness technology assures long life time of the bevel cutting edge. Excellent bending characteri-stics are assured.

Edge hardened, smooth-ground rule. The sharp ground cutting edge requires less diecutting pressure. Innovative hardness technology assures long life time of bevel cutting edge. Excellent bending characteristics are assured.

The cutting die for demanding materials such as porous and easily breakable plastics. A very fine grind improves the flexibility compared to the standard grind. A slightly increased cutting hardness of 640HV (0.20mm deep) in conjunction with the body hardness of 380HV provides optimum durability with very good flexibility.

The extremely sharp blade requires less pressure when cutting and reduces the angel hair, dust and die residues.

Edge hardened, micro-ground rule with the exact height tolerance of a shaved rule. The maximum sharpness and the micro-ground structure minimise dust and fluff. Recommended for difficult and tough materials, i.e. coated materials and foils.

Platinum coated, blade hardened, micro-finely ground die with the accurate height tolerance of a shaven line.

With 4000-5000 HV, the Platinum is five times as hard as an ordinary die-cut without influencing the flexibility. It cuts tougher materials with lower pressure and improved displacement properties. This means less dust and excellent results with increased durability.

TIN-coated, edge hardened, micro-ground rule with the exact height tolerance of a shaved rule. The TIN-coating reduces edge friction and is most suitable for long runs, i.e. in fast food, pharmaceutical and tobacco packages.

The Wolfram carbide coating, with a hardness of up to 2300HV, offers an excellent basis for high durability when thermo-forming, without affecting flexibility.

Coating thicknesses of up to 30 μm are possible.

A special tip-hardening process in combination with the slim bevel and the approved micro-ground finish increase the life-time and achieve excellent cutting results. Therefore this rule is most suitable for tough materials of thin or medium thickness as well as for coated boards, foils, synthetic materials or plastics.

The solution for diecutting with increased cutting pressure and reduced make-ready time. The well-defined tip with its flat bevel (max. 0,02mm) provides the necessary stability.

A body hardness of around 41HRc with 60HRc blade hardness in combination with a 42° cutting angle and a deeper hardening of the blade, increase the wear durability and thus the lifetime of the die forms for the majority of applications.

Optimum for abrasive materials such as seals or plastics.

Our e+s cutting dies can be fitted with a self-adjusting rear EASY which compensates the die pressure optimally at the rear and creates the appropriate height balance in the punching die. The hardened cutting tips are not damaged by the increased pressure and remain sharp.

Reduce the adjusting times by up to 85% and increase your productivity.

The improvement of the TopDurFlex ES-Profile steel rule. Due to its conical cutting bevel shape, the rule cuts easily into very hard material, supported by its oscillating off-rolling cutting point.

A little pre-bevel absorbs the increased diecutting pressure and prolongs the life-time of the rule.

This unique bevel profile developed by Essmann + Schaefer allows diecutting with increased pressure and shortened make-ready time.

A straight body with a wavy edge, producing waved profiles on the box. These rules can be produced from any type of steel rules. Our delivery range also contains flat waves, such as saw-waving, safety-edge protections and wave geometries suitable for automatic rule processores. We produce these rules as well waved through the whole body.

This rule simultaneously provides controlled creasing and defined scoring of the diecutting material. The small scoring bevel placed on top of the creasing geometry is additionally edge-hardened.
