Machine peripherals
We are constantly developing not only our pad printing machines, but also our peripheral devices. New technical possibilities and more complex requirements enable or require new products.
We adapt ourselves. For example, is your part too large to be moved from one colour to the next for multi-colour printing? Then we move the printing pads and the part stays in place. Electromechanical solutions are also possible here.
We would be happy to advise you and find the appropriate machine peripherals for your application.
Almost infinite variety and options to choose from
The range of peripheral devices that can be combined with the pad printing machine is very diverse.
We present the most frequently used versions here. Most of the devices shown are available in several versions. The main differences are the type of drive, the size and the partition.
We would be happy to show you the options in more detail. We look forward to hearing from you.
Peripheral devices for multi-colour printing
From one colour to the next thanks to the shuttle table or Transfert Carré
Both our shuttle tables or the Transfert Carré are suitable for achieving accurate multi-colour printing. They are available in different versions and sizes. The shuttle table works with just one workpiece holder and the part to be printed moves from one colour to the next before returning to its starting position. Depending on the version, the Transfert Carré usually uses between 14 and 20 workpiece holders. The different colours are printed simultaneously on the parts positioned next to each other in front of the printing machine so that a high number of cycles can be achieved.
Multi-colour prints with a pad sliding device
For some applications, it can be advantageous to move the pads rather than the print object in order to print several colours precisely in one operation. Pad sliding devices for 2-colour printing are often used at manual workstations and are available in pneumatic versions in various sizes.
An electromechanical pad sliding device is used for multi-colour printing on larger machines. They function in the same way as a shuttle table. They offer a great deal of flexibility. The object to be printed remains in its fixed position.
Rotary tables and pivot tables
From convenient handling at manual workstations to large systems with several machines
The pivot table “swings” from the loading station to the printing machine and back. This saves time and enables comfortable working at the manual workstation.
Rotary indexing tables are available in a wide range of designs and in very different sizes. Smaller rotary tables are often used when a single-colour machine is to be combined with pre-treatment, drying and possibly automatic unloading. Larger rotary tables are often used for complex automated systems. Several machines and various additional elements, such as handling via robots, can be placed around the rotary table.
Further peripherals
Pad height compensation – indispensable for many applications
Pad height compensation gives you additional flexibility in your printing process. Particularly when printing multi-colour prints at different heights, e.g. with a three-dimensional print object, the height compensation makes printing possible in the first place.
The pad height compensation is available in different versions. The swivelling height compensation is frequently used today. The printing pads, which do currently note depose their ink, swivel forwards. This height compensation is very compact and versatile.
Additional information about our peripherals
In addition to the peripheral devices listed here, there are many other options available.
Examples include the linear conveyor or a linear feed.
Benefit from peripheral devices that have been developed to match our printing machines perfectly and are usually integrated into the machine control system.
Our peripheral devices are constantly being developed further. It is important to us to always be able to offer you the latest products in this area.
Our peripheral equipment perfectly complements our pad printing machines.
With our peripheral devices, we offer you perfectly suited products to complement the pad printing machine and enable perfect multi-colour printing, for example. They are indispensable for many applications and are an integral part of the printing process. Benefit from our dedicated team and over 50 years of experience in pad printing – we can offer you the most suitable complete solution.
