The patented WPM TruCut® Rotary Converting Cutting Die offers substantial advantages to users in comparison to competitive die tooling. WPM manufacturers curved steel rule die segments which are designed for fast mounting on WPM Rotary Die Cutting, Creasing, Scoring, and Embossing modules equipped with the exclusive WPM Honeycomb Rotary Die Cylinders. Together, this "systems" approach provides a unique flexibility and transformation of patterns or cutting die shapes at a very minimal cost. The corrugated, bag, and packaging industries are just a few markets WPM's rotary steel rule converting cutting dies have a strong support in.

WPM invented the TruCut® molded cutting die process, which provides a precise steel-to-steel die cut for converting applications, virtually eliminating the need for tooled steel cylinders. WPM TruCut® Rotary Converting Cutting Dies are manufactured to exacting specifications and can include die cutting, perforating and scoring all in the same steel rule die.

A key advantage of the WPM TruCut® Rotary Converting Cutting Die system is its rigid base as the converting die rule is molded into a hardened shell, yet is still seated steel-to-steel against the WPM Honeycomb rotary die cylinder. This provides converters a distinct advantage of a medium to long life expectancy of the rotary cutting die while allowing for changeable plates or patterns at a relatively low capital investment.

Furthermore, the WPM TruCut®  Rotary Steel Rule Converting Die uses the "through-cut" or anvil "kiss-cut" methodology rather than rotary pressure pinch cutting methods. Therefore, only one WPM TruCut® Rotary Steel Rule Converting Die is required rather than one male and one female steel rule die.

The WPM TruCut® Rotary Steel Rule Converting Cutting Dies are fulfilling the custom  die cutting converting needs of customers around the world. Our in house manufacturing facility allows for testing of all types of materials. Call today to find out more about our state of the art rotary converting dies and how they can be applicable to your die cutting demands.  One of our experts would be happy to help!

The WPM TruCut® Rotary Converting Die is just one of the products developed for the converting industries by the Cutting Technology Division at WPM. All converting dies are available for all WPM Rotary Cutting Systems and other rotary cutters.
