Genuine Eterna spare parts and wear components
Comprehensive spare parts support for all Shanghai Eterna Machinery installations and BOBST Group platform assemblies. Fast and accurate identification from parts manual drawings, machine serial plates and component codes with guaranteed OEM tolerances.
- Complete gripper bar assemblies, gripper tips, guide pads and matched chains
- Hardened 48–52 HRC cutting plates (2.5–7 mm), anvils and makeready sheets
- Feed and folding belt sets for continuous friction feeders and folding sections
- Pneumatic clutch-brake units, friction pads, photoelectric register sensors
Identify equipment and specify parts via Eterna serial plate
To select spare parts for Eterna flatbed die-cutters and folder-gluers, send a photograph of the machine identification plate. The metal nameplate provides the exact model (e.g. ECUT 1650 Elite, PE1650SA, ECUT 1060ER or EFOLD 2100), year of manufacture and machine serial number.
Eterna machinery is produced in Shanghai under BOBST Group standards. Shaft diameters, gripper bar profiles, chain pitches and electrical layouts evolved between machine generations, making the serial number the primary drawing reference.
If the replaced part bears an engraved part number or BOBST/Eterna catalog code, include it in your enquiry. A photo next to a ruler helps confirm key dimensions.
Gripper bars and matched precision drive chains
Gripper bars and drive chains on flatbed die-cutters operate under rapid cyclic acceleration. Wear on gripper pads or chain link elongation results in sheet skew and registration inaccuracies.
We supply complete gripper bars with fingers and guide blocks, and matched pre-stretched precision roller chains.
Specify your press model when requesting chains or bars: guide dimensions on classical PE series presses differ from high-speed ECUT Elite converting platforms.
Die-cutting plates, anvils and makeready sheets
The die-cutting counter plate withstands heavy cutting pressures. We supply precision-ground hardened plates (48–52 HRC) in thicknesses of 2.5 mm, 5 mm and 7 mm with tight flatness tolerances.
Calibrated stainless steel makeready sheets eliminate local bed deflection during high-volume production of solid board and corrugated packaging.
For stripping and blanking sections, we supply quick-change guide anvils, telescopic pin bars and supporting rails that protect die knives from premature dulling.
Friction feeder belts and folding belts for EFOLD lines
EFOLD folder-gluer lines rely on specialized seamless flat belts. Perforated rubber belts in the feeder section ensure smooth intake under vacuum assist.
Folding sections utilize wear-resistant polyurethane belts with antistatic properties that prevent slippage and eliminate marking on glossy printed cartons.
Belts are sized by exact width, thickness and inside length according to the factory specification of your EFOLD machine (850, 1100, 1700, 2100, 2600 or 3200).
Cold and hot-melt gluing stations, nozzles and valves
Eterna folder-gluers integrate lower wheel glue units as well as electronic cold PVA and hot-melt adhesive dispensing systems (Nordson, Valco Melton and Robatech).
For wheel gluing stations, we supply stainless steel glue wheels in multiple widths, scraper blades, glue pots and drive bearing cartridges.
For electronic extrusion systems, we supply high-pressure electromagnetic glue guns, fine-mesh filters, heated hoses and nozzle seal kits.
Pneumatic clutch-brake units and Festo/SMC valves
The main drive of Eterna flatbed presses is controlled by a combined pneumatic clutch-brake unit providing immediate emergency stopping upon sheet jam detection.
We supply high-friction brake lining sets, pneumatic cylinder piston seals, return springs and quick-exhaust safety valves.
For sheet transport air circuits, we provide Festo and SMC directional solenoid valves, clamp cylinders and air preparation filter-regulator units.
Electronics, servo drives and optical registration sensors
Sheet travel through Eterna die-cutters is monitored by arrays of optical and ultrasonic sensors that detect front lay arrival, side lay registration and double sheets.
We supply genuine servo motors and digital servo drives for feeder belts, side lay positioners and multi-axis foil rewind systems.
For control cabinets, we deliver programmable logic controllers, communication interface cards, rotary encoders and touchscreen operator consoles.
EFoil hot foil stamping sections and honeycomb chases
On EFoil 1060 and TF1060E presses, thermal uniformity across the chase and stable foil tension are critical for clean foil release.
We supply heat-treated alloy honeycomb chases, precision toggle clamps for magnesium/copper dies and modular electric cartridge heaters.
For multi-axis servo foil unwinds, we supply foil tension roller assemblies, optical break sensors and electromagnetic roll braking clutches.
Tooling for waste stripping and inline blanking
The inline blanking station on ECUT 1060ER presses automates internal waste stripping and separates finished cartons into neatly stacked pallets.
We supply quick-locking tooling frames, upper dynamic stripping pins, lower support grids and telescopic pusher rods.
Matching original tooling standards reduces job makeready times when changing between carton shapes and board grammages.
EPRINT flexo printing sections, anilox rolls and chamber blades
EPRINT flexo units print graphics onto corrugated sheets prior to flatbed die-cutting. Solid ink density and halftone sharpness depend on roll and blade condition.
We supply laser-engraved ceramic anilox rolls with customized screen count, composite and stainless doctor blades with lamella edges, and chamber end seals.
For ink delivery, we provide pneumatic double-diaphragm ink pumps, pulsation dampeners and flexible ink circulation hoses.
Planned preventive maintenance (PPM) service kits
Scheduled preventive maintenance prevents catastrophic machine stops during peak packaging delivery seasons.
We assemble comprehensive service kits tailored for 1,000-hour, 3,000-hour and 6,000-hour service intervals on Eterna die-cutters and folder-gluers.
Service packages include pneumatic and lubrication filters, vacuum suction cups, guide wear shoes, replacement belt sets and machine fasteners.
Turnkey Eterna equipment procurement and commissioning
We supply new and factory-certified automatic flatbed die-cutters, folder-gluer lines and hot foil stampers directly from the Shanghai plant.
Our team manages international multimodal transport, customs clearance and direct delivery.
Commissioning engineers handle mechanical installation, leveling, laser geometric calibration, electrical hookup and comprehensive operator training.
