The Autogil range of flat-bed die cutters (presses) a highly versatile, robust and very precise.

The machine can be used with convention-al rule knife cutting tools or engineered special purpose tooling can be designed and manufactured for your application.

Cutting depth is accurately adjusted using a very fine pitched ball joint assembly, ensuring a consistent kiss-cut is achieved and maintained onto the thinnest of back-ing liners.
