The smart card manufacturing industry around the world has always relied on the accuracy of stamping and cutting in the production process, as well as the labor costs of subsequent steps, which are the main factors that distinguish factories from competitors. This PVC card punching machine is used to make many different types of cards. It can produce many different types of cards, such as credit cards, bank cards, and membership cards for financial transactions; access cards for smart cards, SIM cards, and smart applications; game cards, anime cards, and entertainment cards; and work cards, student cards, and other types of ID cards. This machine can read both regular CR80-sized cards and cards cut and punched in strange ways.
We are in Shenzhen, China, and we know that overseas markets are very picky about high-quality business card printing equipment. This article will provide a detailed introduction to our newly upgraded PVC card punching machine from the perspective of a technical expert. This machine is not just a punching machine; it is a full card production solution with many functions, such as automatic sorting and classification, as well as hot stamping technology. In the context of Industry 4.0, it aims to help business card printing companies around the world shift towards smarter technologies and better products.



This is the best PVC card punching machine on the market. It is made to meet the fast and precise needs of modern card production. It solves all the problems of old-fashioned clocks in machines, which only do one thing and require manual classification. Through modular design, the PVC card punching machine has achieved "multi-purpose" and "fully automatic assembly line operation."
The stamping unit of this machine undergoes a special heat treatment process and uses very precise molds to ensure that the edges of the stamping card are smooth and free of burrs. This makes their texture different from other things, such as injection molding. This is very important for anime cards, game cards, and playing cards that you want to feel good in your hands. The machine already has a built-in hot stamping process interface, so hot stamping processes can be performed during punching and cutting or online. The holographic anti-counterfeiting label on the credit card and the hot stamping mark on the game card can be correctly placed for hot stamping, with an accuracy of ± 0.15 mm. This makes the card look better and more difficult to forge.
It can not only be used in conjunction with PVC because its design is very flexible. It can also cut and stamp ABS, PET, PETG, and even composite materials. This machine can not only punch holes but also accurately punch book cover openings and filter paper because it has a quick mold replacement system. This solves the problem of finding specialized equipment for certain industry clients and saves them a significant amount of equipment procurement costs.
This is the most important technical issue for the device. Due to the rising labor costs in other countries, we have developed an intelligent system to automatically classify and sort items. When there are multiple patterns on the layout at the same time (such as game cards with different numbers or different types of bank cards), the device can use visual recognition or preset programs to classify perforated finished cards into different card slots or arrange them in perforation order. After punching is completed, the cards are classified by type or order and sent directly to the packaging process. This can reduce the cost of manual sorting in the backend by 80%.
We don't just sell one machine in Shenzhen; we also offer customized integrated solutions. Our technical team will be fully involved, from the initial layout of the factory and matching of gas and electricity to providing suggestions on how to improve the design and layout of the molds. This will ensure that the equipment is perfectly compatible with your existing production line.
We will demonstrate the working principle of this PVC card punching machine by examining its technical specifications and core unit analysis. This will prove that the equipment is professionally reliable.
The main power source of this device is a high-performance 7.5 kW high-power servo motor. According to the model, you can choose a higher power level. Servo drive is better than old-fashioned hydraulic or pneumatic systems because it responds quickly, consumes less energy, and can accurately place things where they are needed. When used together with high-precision ball screws and linear guides, the feed process is stable and the positioning accuracy is high. The accuracy of repeated positioning is strictly controlled within ± 0.10 mm to ensure that the size of each card complies with ISO international standards.
The device has a high-resolution visual positioning system that can solve the problem of stamping and cutting movement, as the material changes shape after lamination. The system can automatically fix the stamping coordinates by finding the positioning cursor (marking point) on the material. This ensures that stamping is always correct, even if the material is slightly stretched or bent. This significantly reduces the scrap rate.

We know that after-sales service costs are high in other countries, so it is very important to manufacture stable and easy-to-use equipment.
The device has an easy-to-use large touchscreen control panel. The operator only needs to select the correct product model on the screen. Then, the machine will automatically obtain preset data such as mold parameters, stamping speed, and product feed length. People who are not engaged in technical work only need half an hour of training to learn how to use it well. This means they don't have to rely so much on highly skilled technicians.
This PVC card punching machine can work independently for a long time without anyone. If the material gets stuck, the gas supply is low, or the cutting position is incorrect, the equipment will immediately sound an alarm, light up, and display a fault code and schematic diagram on the screen. This will help operators quickly solve problems and reduce downtime, thereby maintaining smooth operation of the production line.
The components in the equipment that do not wear out are modular, which means they can be easily disassembled and reassembled together. You can replace the mold in less than 10 minutes, as stamping and cutting molds have a quick replacement structure. This allows you to produce different types of goods in small batches, giving you more freedom when you can manufacture things.
The only way to understand the working condition of a device is to test it. Here are some common ways people around the world use our device, which shows how it works in different places.
Background: The client mainly produces playing cards and high-end collectible game cards. Their biggest problem is that perforated cards have many burrs, and they have to sort many cards with different patterns by hand.
Solution: Our PVC punching machine can automatically classify cards.
Effect: The edges of the card are smooth without burrs, and the texture is better after using the device. The classification collection function allows cards with different patterns to come out of different card slots. This saved 15 sorting workers. The customer is very satisfied with the stability and efficiency of the equipment and will purchase again within a year.
Background: Customers create smart cards of different sizes, such as bank cards and access cards. This usually means changing the mold and switching between different types of substrates, such as mixing PVC and ABS.
Solution: Use our integrated customized solution, which includes the host and its matching hot stamping module.
Effect: The 7.5 kW servo system provides the necessary punching force for easily handling composite materials. The built-in parameter memory function reduces the time required to switch from one task to another from 1 hour to 15 minutes. After adding the hot stamping module, it is possible to complete the signature strip and holographic marking of credit cards online in one go, which increases production efficiency by 40%.
Background: The client does not operate a regular business card printing business, but they do need a machine that can accurately punch and cut filter paper and thin book covers.
Solution: We have customized a mold and feeding system for the device, allowing it to be used in multiple ways.
Effect: This device is capable of stamping non-card materials with high precision, without leaving burrs or dents on the stamping surface. This creates new business opportunities for customers and demonstrates the practicality of the device in other countries.
