BOBST die sets
BOBST cutting dies with stripping and blanking planned as one set
BOBST tooling should not be treated as a single cutting board. The cutting die, male-female parts, pre-stripping, stripping and blanking pieces all support the same machine rhythm.
Where this die fits
Stripping clears waste from the sheet; blanking helps the product stack cleanly. On multi-up carton jobs, these parts often decide machine speed.
For part renewal or a full set, machine model, layout count and waste channels are reviewed together.
- BOBST 102, 142 and similar flatbed machines
- Multi-up carton and packaging jobs
- Stripping, blanking and pre-stripping sets
- Replacement of worn male-female parts
Machine-bed and set-part checks
A BOBST job is more than the main cutting die. Bed reference, sheet layout, gripper margin, male-female creasing, pre-stripping and blanking parts are matched against the same approved production file.
- Alignment of cutting, male-female and blanking parts
- Waste channels working without blockage
- Gripper and layout margins
- Set tolerance between all parts
Machine and job data required for a BOBST set
Send the machine model and working size with sheet layout, material, number-up and required set parts. For replacement tooling, add photos of the existing set and identify the station where the problem appears.
- Machine model and working size
- Open drawing and layout count
- Full set or part replacement
- Old die photo or sample product
Common questions
1 Are BOBST dies made as a full set?
Often yes: cutting die, male-female, stripping and blanking are planned together. Worn parts can also be renewed separately.
2 What is the difference between stripping and blanking?
Stripping removes waste; blanking helps finished products stack cleanly.
3 Can you copy dimensions from an old BOBST set?
Yes. Old tooling, product samples or open drawings can be used to remake missing parts.
