ツジカワ List of Products and Services

It is a cutting tool designed to make it "easy to open" PET and PE, which are usually difficult to cut with regular hands. A "perforated blade" refers to a cutting tool where the cutting part and the non-cutting part are arranged alternately. A typical example is a series of three katakana characters resembling the letter "ha." In packaging used for ointments, materials laminated with PE (polyethylene) and aluminum are often used. By adding perforations to the PE, which is the reason for its difficulty in cutting, after printing and then laminating, a pouch packaging is created that provides guidance during cutting, balancing ease of opening with barrier properties.

• Bag making machine/slitter

A die-cut roll is a roll-shaped blade used to cut materials such as paper and non-woven fabric into arbitrary shapes. Since it cuts the material in a rotary manner, it allows for faster die-cutting compared to flat pressure methods (up and down), making it suitable for mass production. It is used not only for hygiene materials such as diapers, sanitary napkins, and masks, but also for food packaging and food die-cutting. <Features> - Enables speedy die-cutting - High durability - Can be re-sharpened

• Other molds

▶ Embossing Roll This is a roll used to create uneven textures on materials. By adding these textures, the added value of the product can be enhanced. Since it is processed using machine engraving, it is possible to achieve finer and deeper patterns compared to etching. It is used in various fields, such as shaping wallpaper and exterior walls, as well as for embossing on diapers. ▶ Heat Seal Roll This is a roll used to bond multiple layers of materials together using heat. It is used in items such as non-woven fabric masks and paper filters for coffee. By heat sealing, it is possible to create bag shapes or fix shapes, thereby adding functionality. ▶ Line Die Roll This is a roll used primarily for embossing processes on items like paper packs. The embossing process serves the purpose of creating fold lines. Since there is no contact between the rolls, once made, it can be used for a long period.

• Other molds

▶ Anvil Roll It is a flat roll with nothing on the roll body. The surface is polished with fine grinding stones to increase surface roughness. It is finished as an anvil roll that can receive the optimal condition without small unevenness when cutting with a die-cut roll or embossing with an embossing roll. ▶ Suction Anvil Roll This roll has many small holes on the surface of the roll body. By sucking in or blowing out air through these small holes, it prevents the cut products or waste from scattering and allows for the suction of debris. ▶ Pocket Anvil Roll This roll has recessed areas on the roll body. It is an anvil roll used for cutting or embossing thicker products. The recesses are created to prevent the product surface from rubbing during cutting or embossing.

▶Maximizing Roll Performance As a roll manufacturer, we design units to fully utilize the performance of the rolls. High-precision processing that leverages the machining accuracy unique to mold manufacturers. High-rigidity designs developed from knowledge accumulated over many years of experience. These factors enable us to maximize the performance and lifespan of the rolls. ▶Custom Design and Production As a made-to-order manufacturer, we offer custom designs that meet customer demands. We aim to create designs that not only fulfill customer requests but also enhance the performance of the rolls. ▶Maintenance If you request regrinding while the rolls are mounted on the unit, we will disassemble, repair, reassemble, and adjust the unit before delivering it back to you. You can then mount the unit directly onto your equipment and use it as is.

• Plastic processing machines (cutting and rolling)

This is for trial production before considering the production of die-cut rolls and can be used for projects with smaller lots than die-cut rolls. ▶ High Hardness The typical material is die steel (HRC 58-60), but it is also possible to create it with even harder high-speed steel (HRC 63). ▶ High Precision It can achieve the same precision as sharpening blades (dimensional tolerance ±0.05). ▶ Regrinding Repairable Even if the blade edge wears out, it can be re-sharpened by our company. ▶ One-Stop Production System We handle not only the blades but also the incorporation of receiving jigs and heaters. ▶ 3D Shape Compatibility We can accommodate height differences and three-dimensional cutting of curved surfaces for molded base materials, insert films, etc.

• Other molds

• Other molds

▶Surface Treatment - Laser Hardening Laser irradiation is applied only to the cutting edge, achieving a hardness of HRC65 through partial quenching. This is suitable for operations like full cuts where the cutting edge is prone to damage. - F-Coat (Non-Stick Treatment) Tujikawa's unique non-stick coating, "F Coat," reduces the adhesion of ink and glue. Additionally, due to its very thin coating, it does not affect the blade height. - DLC Coating By applying a DLC coating with very high hardness and wear resistance, it contributes to longer tool life. The film thickness is about a few microns. ▶Flexible Die Mounting Base The base, which has been processed for parallelism, is ideal for use in combination with high-precision sharpening dies. We can accommodate various requests such as waste removal holes created by wire processing and positioning pin machining. Designs considering attachment to press machines are also possible. Please feel free to consult us for other special processing needs.

Foil stamping printing is a printing method that transfers a design engraved on a metal relief plate, called a foil plate, onto printed materials by applying heat and pressure to a foil film. Compared to foil processing methods that do not use plates, such as cold foil, it produces a stronger shine and a slight texture, resulting in a more impactful appearance. It is used not only for printing on paper but also for branding on leather and wood, as well as for embossing and stamping. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for printing plates used in letterpress printing for message cards and business cards. 【Features】 ■ A wide variety of foil plates Not only corrosion plates but also the creation of engraved plates using machining centers is possible. Materials available include copper, magnesium, brass, and iron. ■ Quick response For corrosion plates, delivery is possible within 1 to 2 days. ■ Custom cutting and hole punching available We own multiple machining centers, so we can accommodate step-downs, tight cuts, and hole punching. ■ Consultation from design We have a design specialist department, so we can create data from rough sketches. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
