MK Ecocut 170CS flatbed die cutters with stripping are designed for large-format corrugated and litho-laminated board production. They can process cardboard sheets up to 1700 × 1260 mm, cutting large sheets into multiple box blanks in a single pass while the stripping section removes the waste. These die cutters process corrugated and litho-laminated board from 1 to 8.5 mm thick, which is useful for larger box formats, multi-blank layouts, and thicker corrugated structures. MK Ecocut 170CS flatbed die cutters can be equipped with a prefeeder 170 to handle the feeding process of large cardboard sheets more smoothly, which reduces manual handling and supports efficient operation during high-volume production.
Main Features- Large-Format Sheet Handling
Ecocut 170CS flatbed die cutters can process sheets up to 1700 × 1260 mm, giving enough working area for larger corrugated boards, litho-laminated sheets, multi-blank layouts, and bigger box structures. - Accurate Die Cutting and Stripping
Sheet positioning keeps the board in place before cutting, while the die-cutting plate and stripping plate alignment help keep the process accurate from cutting to waste removal. - Faster Job Changeover
Center positioning and quick-lock systems on the cutting and stripping plates reduce setup time when switching between orders. - Up to 6000 Sheets/Hour
Ecocut 170CS flatbed die cutters can run at up to 6000 sheets/hour, so large-format corrugated sheets can move through die cutting and stripping in one continuous process. - Optional Prefeeder 170
If equipped with Prefeeder 170, Ecocut 170CS flatbed die cutters can handle large corrugated sheets with less manual feeding before they enter the die-cutting section.

Main Configuration
Fedding Unit
- The front-edge feeding system combines technology used in high-speed printing presses and die cutters, giving the infeed section stronger suction and more accurate sheet feeding.
- The auxiliary feeding device keeps corrugated sheets moving into the die cutting machine more steadily, especially when handling larger or heavier board.
- Before the sheet reaches the front lay, a high-torque servo motor controls its speed so the board enters the positioning area more smoothly and stays flatter before die cutting.
- The extended front lay and wider front lay stopper give corrugated boards a larger positioning area, which improves feeding accuracy for large-format sheets.
- The pneumatic side alignment device keeps the sheet aligned from the side, while the front holder height can be adjusted electrically according to the board condition.
- Side positioning lays are installed on both the left and right sides to keep sheet alignment more stable before the sheet enters the die-cutting section.
Die-Cutting Unit
- The die-cutting pressure can be adjusted up to 400 t according to the board thickness, box structure, and cutting requirements.
- Empty-run and sheet-drop detection systems monitor whether sheets are fed correctly and help reduce abnormal operation during production.
- Pneumatic locking devices on the frame and lower plate make tool handling and plate change easier during setup.
- Center positioning on the die-cutting plate helps operators align the plate faster and keep the cutting position more accurate.
- The lower plate has a holding device, so operators can push and pull it more smoothly during plate handling.
Stripping Unit
- The upper stripping frame lifts electrically, giving operators easier access during stripping tool setup and adjustment.
- Center positioning on the upper and middle stripping frames helps operators change stripping plates faster and keep waste removal more accurate.
Delivery Unit
- The gripper edge removal and waste edge delivery systems remove leftover edges after die cutting, so finished blanks can be collected more cleanly.
- The delivery stack is aligned from the front, back, and sides to keep finished sheets better arranged after die cutting and stripping.
- The electric auxiliary delivery device keeps sheets moving out without stopping the line, reducing interruptions during collection.
- Two delivery options are available: high-pile delivery, with automated logistics as an option, and conveyor belt delivery for different production layouts.
Lubrication System
- Equipped with a centralized automatic lubrication system that supplies oil to the main moving parts, reducing routine maintenance work.
- Regular lubrication reduces wear on key moving parts, which helps the die cutter stay stable over long-term operation.
Control System
- The B&R control system coordinates the main functions of the die cutter, from sheet feeding and die cutting to stripping, delivery, and safety control.
- Modular electrical components make inspection and maintenance easier, especially when a component needs to be checked or replaced.
- The electrical design follows national safety standards and uses optimized logic control to keep each section working in the correct sequence. A remote maintenance interface is included for technical support and troubleshooting.
