KY-TB1209 Automatic Die Rubber Installing Machine
CNC-controlled automatic ejection rubber cutting and installation machine for die cutting boards. Import DXF files, auto-generate rubber layouts, cut and install rubber strips in one seamless operation.
Why Switch to Automated Rubber Installation?
Manual ejection rubber placement is the most tedious and error-prone step in die making. Automation eliminates this bottleneck entirely.
⚠️ Manual Rubber Placement Problems
- Extremely time-consuming: Manual placement takes 2-4 hours per die board with skilled workers
- Inconsistent spacing: Human error in rubber gap and height selection causes poor stripping performance
- High labor cost: Skilled die makers spend 30-40% of their time on rubber work alone
- Material waste: Imprecise cutting wastes 15-25% of expensive rubber stock
- Extended die trials: Incorrect rubber placement requires multiple trial-and-error adjustments on press
- Inconsistent quality: Different operators produce different rubber layouts for identical dies
✅ KY-TB1209 Automated Solution
- 5-15 min per die board: Complete rubber installation 10-20x faster than manual methods
- Software-optimized layout: AI algorithm calculates ideal rubber position, height, and spacing from DXF data
- 1-operator workflow: Load die board, import file, press start — machine does the rest
- Zero material waste: Precision cutting uses exact rubber lengths, minimizing scrap to under 2%
- First-pass success: Consistent rubber placement reduces die trial time by up to 70%
- 100% repeatability: Identical rubber layouts every time, regardless of operator

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the KY-TB1209 automatic die rubber installing machine.
The KY-TB1209 imports standard DXF files directly from your die design software. It automatically analyzes cutting rule positions and generates optimized rubber strip placement layouts, eliminating manual measurement and layout work.
The machine handles ejection rubber strips from 3mm to 20mm in thickness, covering the full range from thin stripping rubber to thick ejection rubber used in corrugated die cutting applications.
The KY-TB1209 completes a full die board rubber installation in 5-15 minutes versus 2-4 hours manually. It eliminates human error in spacing and height selection, resulting in consistent stripping performance and reduced die trial time.
The standard KY-TB1209 has a working area of 530mm x 1200mm, suitable for most commercial die cutting operations. For larger format die boards, contact us for extended-bed configurations.
Yes, the KY-TB1209 performs both rubber cutting and installation in a single automated cycle. It reads the DXF layout, cuts each rubber strip to the precise length and shape, and installs it at the correct position on the die board with adhesive application.
The machine supports both 380V and 220V power supply with 4.6KW consumption. It also requires compressed air at 0.8MPa for the pneumatic rubber insertion system.
Kylin provides a 36-month factory warranty covering all mechanical, electrical, and CNC components. Support includes free remote troubleshooting via video call, software updates, spare parts shipped within 48 hours, and optional on-site engineer visits.
Yes, the machine works with all standard ejection rubber durometer ratings — from soft stripping rubber (Shore A 25-35) to firm ejection rubber (Shore A 55-70). The pneumatic pressure and cutting parameters auto-adjust based on the rubber profile selected in the software.

The Complete Guide to Automatic Die Rubber Installing Machines for Modern Die Shops
In the die cutting industry, ejection rubber installation has traditionally been one of the most labor-intensive and skill-dependent processes. Every flat die board requires dozens — sometimes hundreds — of precisely placed rubber strips to ensure clean material stripping during press operation. The quality of rubber placement directly impacts die performance: poorly positioned rubber leads to material jams, incomplete stripping, extended makeready time, and ultimately, lost production hours and wasted substrate.
The Hidden Cost of Manual Rubber Placement
A skilled die maker typically spends 2-4 hours installing ejection rubber on a single die board. In a busy die shop processing 5-10 new dies per day, rubber installation alone consumes 10-40 man-hours daily — the equivalent of 1-5 full-time positions dedicated solely to placing rubber strips. Beyond the direct labor cost, manual placement introduces variability: two operators will rarely produce identical rubber layouts for the same die, leading to inconsistent press performance and longer makeready times. Material waste from imprecise cutting compounds the cost, with shops reporting 15-25% rubber scrap rates under manual operations.
How the KY-TB1209 Transforms Die Shop Efficiency
The KY-TB1209 addresses these challenges through full CNC automation of the rubber installation process. By importing the die layout directly from standard DXF files, the machine’s software analyzes cutting rule positions and automatically generates an optimized rubber placement plan — selecting the correct rubber height, durometer, and spacing for each section of the die. The integrated cutting and placement head then executes this plan with ±0.05mm accuracy, completing an entire die board in 5-15 minutes. For die shops, the impact is transformative: the same team that previously produced 5-8 rubber-equipped dies per day can now output 30-50, with perfect consistency and near-zero material waste. Most operations achieve full return on investment within 6-10 months through labor savings alone, before factoring in the additional benefits of reduced die trial time, lower rubber consumption, and improved press uptime.
