Rotary DieMaker
The Rotary DieMaker module extends the capabilities of the DieMaker module to provide a comprehensive
solution for designing rotary tooling.
It supports all features necessary for the design and output of rotary tooling including dieboard splits, mounting
holes, and rule path calculations.
A completed rotary die design can be output to a laser diecutter, the Kongsberg DieSaw or sent to a diemaker
for manufacturing. The tooling features in this module can also be used to prepare flat dies for cutting on the
Kongsberg DieSaw.
Features
• Dieboard splits can break die shells horizontally or vertically. The subtended angle of the shell is shown when
making horizontal splits to allow accurate design of 180-degree shells.
• Mounting holes can be adjusted horizontally or vertically for rotary dieboards.
• Rule paths are automatically calculated and can be manually adjusted as needed. Manual changes are automatically
repeated to equivalent rules across the dieboard.
• Bridges for rotary rules are placed on teeth on the rule paths. Manual changes to bridging will graphically jump
bridges from tooth to tooth.
• Calculates drilling and cutting sequencing for output of dies to the Kongsberg DieSaw.
