Systems are assembled at Bernal and approved by you for speed and performance prior to shipping. Our personnel direct the installation, commissioning, final approval, training and start-up at your facility.

Die Options

Bernal's core product, rotary dies, are proven in countless applications. Rotary dies are available to cut, sheet, form, emboss, vacuum transfer, heat seal, and ultrasonic seal. Many dies feature removable segments to allow cutting and embossing in one die or to vary features with applications. These dies are mounted in precision bearing housings that allow them to be easily removed from the station for product changes. Dies can be changed in as little as one minute. Die life varies with the materials ranging from 1 to 500 million revolutions.
