It can ensure that the pattern position is consistent each time it is printed, which is conducive to improving the consistency and aesthetics of the product.
Working Principle
The pad printer mainly relies on the rubber head to dip the ink provided by the oil cup to transfer the pattern etched on the printing plate to the surface of objects such as perfume bottles, cosmetic bottles, and electronic accessories. When working, the oil cup first supplies the ink to the corresponding position of the printing plate. After the rubber head descends to dip the ink, it accurately transfers the ink pattern to the object on the 8-station turntable workbench. The robot unloading is responsible for removing the printed objects. The whole process is connected in an orderly manner to achieve efficient printing.
Structural Features

• The turntable rotates accurately and smoothly, which can ensure that each object can be accurately positioned at each station, which is convenient for subsequent printing operations and robot unloading. It is especially suitable for batch processing of small objects such as perfume bottles and cosmetic bottles.
• Touch screen operation:
• The touch screen operation interface is intuitive and convenient, and the operator can easily set many key printing parameters such as rubber head movement parameters, ink supply of the oil cup, and turntable rotation speed.
• For objects of different materials and sizes, such as glass perfume bottles and plastic electronic accessories, you only need to simply adjust the corresponding parameters through the touch screen to meet diverse printing needs.
• Ink supply method of the oil cup:
• The ink supply method of the oil cup can stably and accurately provide ink to the printing plate, effectively control the amount of ink, and avoid too much or too little ink affecting the printing quality.
• Compared with other ink supply methods, it can better maintain the cleanliness and uniformity of the ink, so that the ink state of the rubber head is more consistent each time, thereby ensuring the clarity and color stability of the transfer pattern.
• Robot unloading:
• The robot unloading function can realize automatic and precise object grabbing and placement, replacing manual operation, improving unloading speed and accuracy, and reducing labor costs.
• Its movements can be flexibly programmed and controlled according to the shape, size and placement of the object, so whether it is a small cosmetic bottle or an electronic accessory of various shapes, it can be unloaded smoothly and without damage.
High accurate rotating servo pad printer
The printing area of the pad printing machine is generally 90% of the size of the steel plate, and the pad printing opportunity of the oil cup is even smaller. Most pad printing machines use the stroke of the oil cup to move forward and backward to expand the printing area, but if the stroke is too large, it will The accuracy of the pad printing machine is reduced, and the adjustment is difficult, so there is a pad printing machine with the oil cup moving left and right.

Pad printing machines are suitable for printing products with complex appearance or products that cannot be realized by silk screen printing. In most cases, it is suitable for products with relatively small dimensions. However, with the development of printing technology and the exchange and integration of various industries, pad printing machines have also begun to set foot in other In some fields, such as the tableware industry of daily ceramics, some bowls, plates, dishes, spoons and other products.
Generally speaking, the shapes of these products are relatively complex, and it is difficult to print by conventional printing methods. Therefore, the early decoration method is to print the graphics and text on the decals first, and then transfer them to the surface of the tableware. The production of decals is a comparison Complicated craftsmanship, and most of the processes of decals need to be done by hand. With the rise in labor costs and the decline in the price of finished products, this traditional craftsmanship is becoming more and more unsuitable for reality.
The latest market trend is the use of pad printing machines. The biggest advantage of pad printing machines is that they can use a soft rubber head to wrap the product to the maximum extent, and then transfer the pattern to the surface of the product, and the graphics and text on the steel plate are transferred to the deformation of the product surface. It can be corrected by continuously modifying the pre-deformation of the pad printing plate.
Ceramic pad printing machines currently have single-color, double-color, three-color, and four-color. Due to the very large size of the steel plate, at present, an open structure is basically used for ink supply. The control system also has pneumatic drive steering servo motor drive.
The most difficult thing in the pad printing of ceramic tableware is not the manufacture of the machine, but the production of steel plates according to the pattern of the product, and the multiple printing tests after customizing the pad printing head. Once the test is completed, the formal production of subsequent products becomes simple.

The shopping bag is a free gift, in addition to the goods, so that you can carry it, the merchant will always use it to promote their brand. It is very common to print text or LOGO on top of shopping bags.
Brands that sell a lot of money may need offset printing, but a large number of small and medium-sized brands may prefer silkscreen and hot stamping. Silk screen printing and hot stamping are very suitable for decoration on the formed shopping bag. Although it is slow, it is adaptable and easy to change, so it is widely welcomed.
Packaging industry, Die cutting, Embossing, high precision stamping, Decorative painting wood products branded paste painting process requires a lot of pressure. Usually the pressure of the pneumatic hot stamping machine is difficult to more than 15 tons, more than 15 tons stamping pressure hydraulic drive could be considered.
Pneumatic bronzing machine to pass the gas pressure as a medium, there are a lot of uncertainty, because there is more room for the gas molecules, can easily be compressed, so the pressure delivered to the product surface, there would be a process of change. The distance between the liquid molecules is much smaller than gas molecules, once the pressure delivered to the product surface, the pressure will remain for a long time stability.
Hydraulic drive, the machine itself to be equipped with a complete hydraulic system, compared to the pneumatic hot stamping machine, the structure is more complex, some of which will be expensive.
For up to 800mm carbon fiber shaft, the heat transfer more difficult, but we have overcome many difficulties, and finally completed a set of automatic transfer machine.
1) carbon fiber material: Carbon fiber is made from organic fibers by carbonization and graphitization treatment obtained microcrystalline graphite materials. Similar to the microstructure of carbon fiber artificial graphite is turbostratic graphite structure. A mechanical performance of new materials, steel accounted for less than 1 / 4, the tensile strength of carbon fiber resin composite materials are generally in 3500Mpa above, is 7-9 times that of steel, tensile elastic modulus of 230 ~ 430Gpa also high in steel. Therefore, the specific strength of CFRP material intensity and the ratio of the density can be achieved 2000Mpa / (g/cm3) above, the specific strength of A3 steel only 59Mpa / (g/cm3) about a specific modulus than steel. Higher than the strength of the material, the smaller the component weight, higher than the modulus, the greater is the stiffness, in this sense indicates that the carbon fiber has broad application prospects in engineering. Carbon fiber is a carbon content higher than 90% of the inorganic polymer fibers. In which the carbon content higher than 99% of said graphite fibers. Carbon fiber axial strength and high modulus, non-creep, fatigue resistance, good heat and electrical conductivity between the metallic and metal between the thermal expansion coefficient, good corrosion resistance, low density of fibers, X-ray transparent too good. But its poor impact resistance, easy to damage, under the action of the acid oxidation, and metal composite occurs when the metal carbide, cementite and electrochemical corrosion. Therefore, before use of carbon fiber surface treatment. Carbon fiber shaft with the use of its excellent fatigue resistance. Through the experiment, as long as the transfer film adhesive layer to make the necessary improvements, the transfer of carbon fiber can achieve good results.
2) transportation; trough the use of the usual storage device can be placed about 150 shaft. As the inherent speed of thermal transfer, automatic transfer machine speed can reach 1200 per hour, higher speed depends on the overall structure of the machine, but given the long shaft, high speed could mean the loss of stability .
3) fixtures; double-stick-type structure, which is slender cylinder for the structure of commonly used products.
