AccuStar® – the ultimate in laser hardened performance. The combined technological expertise of RotoMetrics and Gerhardt has resulted in an exciting new solution for some of the industry's toughest converting challenges. Our latest innovation, the AccuStar flexible die is laser hardened to provide unmatched performance in applications included thin extensible film liners and abrasive thermal transfer substrates.

AccuStar dies offer you the longest life, highest precision and most exacting tolerances available.

AccuStar Advantages:

• Laser hardened for the longest flexible die life available
• More acute blade angles, razor sharp/high precision cutting edges for control of liner strike
• Optimized for 23/25/30 micron polyester liner applications
• Advanced surface treatments for abrasive thermal transfer applications
• 24 hour lead time

AccuStar Specifications:

• Industry-leading precision on total plate height tolerance to +/-2.50 microns (0.0001")
• Wide format plate sizes up to 970 mm X 740 mm (38" X 29")
• Hardness levels of 65-68 HRC

The AccuStrike Anvil allows press operators to adjust blade clearance on press with extreme precision. Controls enable the operator to adjust bearers independently or together for unparalleled control over die strike on various liner thicknesses.

What customers are saying about AccuStrike:

"The RotoMetrics AccuStrike® Anvil is a great product and has given our operators fantastic flexibility to control die strike on critical liner applications without interrupting operations.  We are running the AccuStrike on a work-horse press at speeds up to 300 ft/minute and it works like a charm.  It was easy to install and requires no maintenance."

Let RotoMetrics show you how the new AccuStrike Anvil delivers precision blade depth adjustment to the operator while giving you complete flexibility in die station set up.

Tungsten Carbide has long been known to add superior durability to cutting knives and tools. RotoMetrics and Mitsubishi Materials have now incorporated this material into the longest lasting cutting die available, offering a premium level of tool quality. When precision, quality and long lasting durability are priority one, this tool is proven to bring die life to a new level.

Tungsten Carbide Advantages:

• Its ability to retain an extremely sharp edge is unsurpassed.
• Thermal Conductivity is twice that of tool steel improving cutting results by minimizing heat expansion.
• Pivoting bridge for easy access to load/unload the dies
• High level of Corrosion Resistance reduces contamination concerns.
• In house precision CAM processing and high precision grinding offers the quickest turn-around in the industry on both new and resharpened dies.
