Abstract:
A method for adjusting a pressing force of a flat-bed die-cutting and/or stamping/embossing machine having at least one die-cutting and/or embossing/stamping tool for processing a flat printing substrate, includes supplying tool data describing an individual structure of a die-cutting and/or stamping/embossing tool of a plurality of tool parts, reading specific force data out of a database, the specific force data assigning a specific pressing force to a respective tool part, calculating a target pressing force at least from the tool data and the specific force data adjusting the pressing force of the flat-bed die-cutting and/or stamping/embossing machine to the target pressing force. The adjustment of the pressing force is advantageously simplified to a considerable extent and reduces the error-proneness and the time required for setting up the flat-bed die-cutting and/or stamping/embossing machine. A machine for implementing the method is also provided.
