It is a single colour setup suitable for plastics, metals and coated composite materials. Typical applications include logos, part numbers and product branding.
Operation and Control
The machine operates as a semi automatic unit with manual part placement and timed print cycles. It is pneumatically driven and designed for straightforward operation in production environments. Print pressure, pad stroke and dwell time are all adjustable to suit different substrates and print requirements.
Printing Performance
Estimated print area ranges from approximately 80 by 80 mm to 100 by 100 mm depending on setup. Cycle speed is operator dependent and typically ranges from around 800 to 1500 cycles per hour under normal production conditions. The system is designed for repeatable and consistent output across batch runs.
Ink and Plate System
