The web-fed converting and finishing machines manufactured by Weigang includes the flat bed die-cutting machines apart from converting, finishing and slitting/inspection machines.

The ZM series of Weigang's intermittent die-cutting machines are driven by the German Rexroth-Bosch servo systems featuring pneumatic roll lifter, load-cell based web tension control systems from Japanese Mitsubishi brand, “patented registered die-cutting unit” with American Rotometrics magnetic cylinder and anvil roller. The machine facilitates 2nd pass die-punching in register without changing the magnetic cylinder tools due to the semi-rotary technology. The software allows die-cutting precisely in MM providing added advantage, instead of the repeat length corresponding to the teeth size which is typically followed in other technologies. This equipment can be custom-built in a combination of 15 different inline functions for the digital finishing machine and is also used for the IML die-cutting.
