Rotary die cutting lives on the relationship between rule height and anvil surface. The anvil grooves, the natural response is more pressure, and more pressure cuts deeper grooves. Required cutting pressure is therefore the honest health signal — and anvil rotation is the cheapest life extension available on the machine.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under die cutter, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
The PMs ChatterFix schedules against this equipment, with intervals and time estimates.
