Corona

Many substrates, especially PP-PE plastics require pre-treatment to prepare or improve the bonding surface for ink adhesion. The corona plasma is generated by the application of high voltage to an electrode that has a sharp point. The plasma charge forms that the tip of this sharp point. The corona plasma treatment changes the surface energy […]

Pre-Treatment Flamer

Many substrates, including plastics, require pre-treatment to prepare or improve the bonding surface for ink adhesion. The pre-treatment conveyor flamer is optional equipment that can be added to a standard single pass inkjet platform or purchased as a standalone pre-treatment system. This unit has the following features: Automatic product detection indexes the product and will […]

Pad Shuttle

The pad shuttle device (RR or RRR) is assembled upon request as the machine is being built. The primary advantage is the improvement to the registration for multi-colored applications because the part remains stationary. This device allows printing of 2 or 3 colors. Allows for easier loading and unloading of parts Simple, less complex fixtures […]

Cupslide

The cupslide unit is built to slide the ink cup over the length of the image on the cliché from left-to-right, inking the etched artwork. The pad then picks up the images and prints onto the part. The cup will continue to cycle left-to-right when on single cycle mode until the operator initiates another cycle. […]

Independent Pads

For pad printing machines that apply two or more colors, an independent pad descent is available. This product allows the pad printer to print on larger surfaces. Each pad is able to move up and down independently for printing on different levels of a surface or where part size or height variations demand it The […]

Pad Cleaning

Pad cleaners can be configured to fit into any machine. This product can be programmed into the print cycle to eliminate the need for the operator to pause and clean the pads manually. The cleaning system utilizes adhesive tape on a motorized roll-to-roll cycle. For models KP05, KP06, KE06, KE07 where the pad cleaning system […]

Linear Conveyors

Linear conveyance is used primarily in multi-color and automated applications to increase hourly part output on machines with or without independent pads. This product is designed to allow multi-station printing on the same object in different locations and colors. The linear conveyor is electrically operated and controlled by a servo motor. Configurations include: from 18 […]

Elliptical Conveyors

Elliptical conveyance is used primarily in automated applications to increase hourly part output. This conveyor is for use on multi-color applications that require precise positioning to achieve perfect registration. This product is also suitable for printing single or double colors on two or four parts simultaneously. The elliptical conveyor is controlled by a servo motor […]

Linear Shuttle

The linear shuttle comes standard with 500mm of travel length. This shuttle is programmable for a single part fixture, with an adjustable stop position between each pad station using the machines touch screen operator controls. Separate sequence changes are quick to program if necessary. This type of shuttle is mainly used in four or five […]

Rotary Table

Available in pneumatic or as an electrically operated unit, rotary tables are primarily used to automate applications for one and two color registration. This device is also well-suited for secondary operations that require product preload, or unload and/or pre-and post-treatment stations. The rotary table can is programmable to advance 2, 4, 6, 8 or 12 […]
