ETERNA ECUT 1060 ELITE ER Automatic Flatbed Die Cutter

Meta description: ETERNA ECUT 1060 ELITE ER – automatic flatbed die cutter with 8 gripper bars, 265° eccentric worm gear toggle, full-machine centerline, non-stop feeder & delivery, 7,500 cycles/hr. Contact PTS Industries – authorized distributor in Vietnam.

Overview

The ETERNA ECUT 1060 ELITE ER is a high-end automatic flatbed die cutting machine built on BOBST Group technology, integrating die cutting, stripping, and blanking into a single high-speed system.

Designed for folding carton and corrugated packaging manufacturers who require consistent precision, fast job changeover, and maximum uptime, the ELITE ER delivers superior performance compared to standard flatbed die cutters. This is achieved through its large-angle toggle mechanism, 8 gripper bar system, full machine centerline design, and integrated quick-lock systems at each tooling station.

The ECUT 1060 ELITE ER is officially distributed, installed, and supported in Vietnam by PTS Industries, an authorized service partner of ETERNA.

Key Features

Feeder

Feeder based on cutting-edge Group technology — feeding is precise and consistent across a wide range of stock, from 90 g/m² thin paper to 1,000 g/m² cardboard, as well as micro-flute corrugated board.

Full Sheet Delivery

Full sheet delivery option ensures easy production planning by selecting the final delivery style. Full sheet delivery can be achieved with die-cutting and stripping only, without engaging the blanking station.

Gripper Bar

8 gripper bars manufactured using the latest BOBST Group technology run extremely smoothly, thanks to the unique design of the large-motion-angle eccentric worm gear drive system. This allows the minimum number and size of nicks at maximum production speed — a critical advantage for high-quality folding carton and cosmetics packaging.

Plate Setting

5mm hardened cutting plate or 4+1mm sandwich plate on top of a 15mm precision synthetic supporting plate, with ±1mm micro-adjustment for quick setup and easy make-ready. Cutting plate position can be fine-tuned without stopping production.

Advanced Tooling Lockup

Advanced quick tooling setup system ensures fast job changeover and therefore high productivity at both stripping and blanking stations. The automatic quick-locking device for the upper tool is integrated directly into the machine — no separate tools required.

Double Sheet Detector

Ultrasonic double sheet detector operates without touching the paper, resulting in scratch-free material handling. Reliable and quick to set up. (Optional)

Auto Separation Sheet Insert

Automatic separating sheet inserter coupled with an electronic position sensor at the blanking station, ensuring accurate and consistent sheet separation during pile delivery.

Standard Equipment

• Double-cam driven gripper opener and front lay swing frame without position restore spring — for smooth and accurate sheet register and take-off
• Pneumatic push-button die chase locking mechanism for safe and operator-friendly die changing
• 5mm hardened cutting plate or 4+1mm sandwich plate (optional) on top of 15mm precision synthetic supporting plate with ±0.9mm micro-adjustment for quick setup and make-ready
• Automatic main chain greasing system

Stripping Section

• Complete set of stripping tools with upper and lower stripping pins
• Centerline system for quick stripping die setup
• Integrated Quick Locking System
• Automatic quick-locking device for the upper tool — integrated in the machine
• Funnel for waste guidance
• Efficient and smooth cam running curve drives the stripping and blanking tooling with large motion angle to ensure clean and precise stripping and blanking at speed

Blank Pile Delivery Section

• Automatic selection of suction cups according to sheet size
• Constant compression level system (NCT)
• Continuous pile lowering while maintaining a constant pile height
• Automatic pallet changing device
• Automatic non-stop device
• Waste or skeleton removal apron
• Integrated Quick Locking System
• Upper blanking tool mounting frame can be pulled out for quick job setup and make-ready
• Full sheet delivery achievable with die-cutting and stripping only — blanking station not required

Why Choose ECUT 1060 ELITE ER

The ECUT 1060 ELITE ER is designed to optimize three critical factors in packaging production: cutting quality, changeover efficiency, and operational stability.

Its optimized drive system ensures uniform pressure distribution, delivering clean cutting edges and minimizing holding bridges. This is essential for high-end packaging such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and premium food products.

The centerline design allows fast alignment of die cutting, stripping, and blanking tools, significantly reducing job changeover time.

Non-stop feeder and delivery systems enable continuous production, minimizing downtime and reducing operator dependency.

Application & Investment Positioning

The ECUT 1060 ELITE ER is ideal for packaging manufacturers operating offset printing lines and aiming to upgrade to stable high-speed production with precise die cutting quality.

Its versatility allows processing of both folding carton and light corrugated materials, making it suitable for factories with diverse product portfolios and frequent job changes.

In practice, investment efficiency depends not only on the machine itself, but also on selecting the right configuration and aligning it with the factory’s production workflow.

👉 PTS Industries supports customers in evaluating real production needs and providing tailored solutions to ensure optimal investment and long-term performance.
