Abstract

Method for the manufacture of flexible disks from engraved moulds by means of a compression press comprising starting with a roll of plastic material and bringing a strip of material between the open plates of a compression press without making a preliminary hole in said strip. A preliminary hole is made during the closing of the plates by means of a first punch matched to a complementary punch, said punches serving as centering means for the two moulds, then by the guidance of the first punch in the complimentary punch for the centering of the moulds with respect to one another. The central hole is cut when the plates are closed by means of the complementary punch which is maintained in the raised position throughout the end of the pressing cycle.
