What are film-cutting blades?

A film-cutting blade is a particular type designed specifically for cutting film. Film-cutting blades are used in various applications, including cutting photographic film, motion picture film, and magnet tape.

Advantages of using film cutting blades

There are many advantages of using film-cutting blades:

  • Precision:
    Film-cutting blades offer a high level of control and precision, making achieving the desired cutting results easy. 

  • Durability:
    Film-cutting blades are made of high-quality materials resistant to wear and tear, meaning they can last for a long time with proper maintenance and handling.

  • Customization:
    Film-cutting blades are highly customizable to meet the specific needs of different film-cutting applications, such as cutting, scoring, perforating, and more.

  • Clean cuts:
    Film-cutting blades offer a much smoother cut than traditional rotary blades, resulting in less wear and tear on your machine

How are film-cutting blades manufactured?

  • Cutting:
    The first step in the manufacturing process is to use a CNC machine to cut the blade to the desired shape.

  • Heating:
    Next, the blade is put through a heat treatment process to harden the metal and makes it more durable.

  • Sharpening:
    After heating, the blade is sharpened to remove any imperfections. A grinding process is then used to refine and make the blade sharper. 

  • Coating:
    By coating the tips of blades with these metals, the blade can better withstand wear and tear. It can prolong the blade's lifespan.
