Die-Cut Handling with i-DCA

Our i-DCA System

Robot-guided application solution for precise, fully automated processes with self-adhesive die-cut parts.

Automated Application

Precision for self-adhesive die-cut parts

The i-DCA system is a robot-guided application solution for self-adhesive die-cut parts. It was developed for precise results and reliable processes in continuous operation. Fully integrated control, intelligent process monitoring, and coordinated material supply enable fully automated hole closures with high repeat accuracy.

Our i-DCA system combines all steps of the application workflow in one compact component. From material feeding to quality assurance, all steps work together smoothly. This allows the system to be integrated easily into modern production lines and existing equipment.

Overall view of the i-DCA system
Overall workflow

Its modular architecture makes it easy to integrate into different production environments. Even with complex or changing component geometries, the i-DCA system stands out for short setup times and consistently high application quality.

Application head of the i-DCA system

Application

Angle application & flexible positioning

An additional degree of freedom allows applications even on hard-to-reach or inclined surfaces. This ensures precise and repeatable results.

Material feed of the i-DCA system

Material flow

Optimized material supply

Two servo drives keep the web tension constant and control the feed precisely. The belt path is clearly arranged and supports quick material changes, making it ideal for 24/7 operation.

Features

What makes the system strong in operation

01

Angle application & flexible positioning

An additional degree of freedom allows applications even on hard-to-reach or inclined surfaces. This ensures precise and repeatable results.

02

Complete application workflow in one component

All process steps are combined in one unit. This reduces integration effort, lowers sources of error, and improves efficiency.

03

Integrated control electronics

No external control components are required. The system communicates directly with plant and robot controllers and remains highly compatible.

04

Optimized material supply

Two servo drives keep the web tension constant and control the feed precisely. The belt path is clearly arranged and supports quick material changes, making it ideal for 24/7 operation.

05

Intelligent process monitoring

Contact pressure, suction pressure, and position are monitored continuously. The process only continues when all parameters are correct. This keeps quality transparent and documented.

06

Maximum system integration

All components are matched to one another. The result is a consistent, low-maintenance system with high operational reliability.

Ease of Service

Tool storage & ease of servicing

The optional tool storage unit allows material changes during ongoing production. Its compact design saves space during integration. At the same time, it ensures that the robot always picks up a tool from the storage unit that is ready for application.

  • Wear parts can be replaced without removal
  • Shippable and exchangeable
  • Functional tests possible in the maintenance workshop

During live production

Service, material changes, and process control are designed so that interventions remain manageable without unnecessarily interrupting production.
