Pad printing machine is an efficient printing equipment, mainly used for accurate image, text or logo printing on a variety of different materials and shapes of objects. This high speed pad printer realizes the whole process from printing to transfer through automation technology, which greatly improves production efficiency and printing quality. The following are some of the main features and functions of the motorised pad printing machine:
Automatic operation: The automatic pad printing machine uses an advanced control system, which can automatically complete a series of operations such as material extraction, positioning, printing, drying, etc., reducing manual intervention, reducing labor intensity, and improving production efficiency.
High-precision positioning: The electric pad printing machine is usually equipped with a high-precision positioning system, such as CCD visual positioning system, to ensure that the printed pattern is precisely aligned with the position of the printed object, to achieve high-quality printing effects.
Multi-material adaptability: Automatic pad printing machine can handle a variety of different printing materials, including plastic, metal, glass, ceramics, etc., suitable for electronics, toys, gifts, packaging and other industries.
Programmability: Users can set different printing parameters according to different printing needs by programming, such as printing speed, pressure, drying temperature, etc., to adapt to different production requirements.
Safety performance: High speed pad printer is usually equipped with multiple safety protection devices, such as emergency stop button, safety door lock, etc., to ensure the safety of the operator.
Easy maintenance: The design of the machine takes into account easy maintenance, making daily cleaning and maintenance simple and convenient, extending the service life of the equipment.
Modular design: Some of our high-end automatic pad printing machines use modular design, users can add or replace different modules according to production needs, improving the flexibility and scalability of the equipment.
Network connection: Some automatic pad printing machine support network connection function, can achieve remote monitoring and fault diagnosis, convenient production management and technical support.
User-friendly interface: The machine is usually equipped with an intuitive operating interface, so that the operator can easily set and adjust the printing parameters, simplifying the operation process.
In short, the automatic pad printing machine, through its efficient, precise and reliable performance, provides a fast, economical and high-quality printing solution for modern manufacturing. As one of leading pad printing machine manufacturers, Haover provides you with different types of pad printing machine for your need.
Pad printing machine and screen printing machine are two common printing equipment, they have significant differences in principle, application field and efficiency. The pad printing machine transfers the pattern from the steel plate to the substrate through the silicone head, which is suitable for irregular surface and small area printing; The screen printing machine leaks ink onto the substrate through the screen plate and scraper, which is suitable for large-area flat or regular curved surface printing.
Printing principle
Pad printing machine: A silicone tip is used to transfer the pattern from the etched steel plate to the substrate, similar to a stamp.
Screen printing machine: Using a scraper to extrude the ink through the mesh of the screen plate to the substrate
Printable range
Pad printing machine: Suitable for small area, irregular surface printing, such as small text on the phone lens circle
Screen printing machine: suitable for large area of flat or regular curved surface printing, such as large billboards
Ink type
Pad printing machine: Fast drying inks are required, and pad printing inks usually require high hiding power
Screen printing machine: Use slow drying ink to ensure that the ink is fully transmitted through the screen plate
Printing effect
Pad printing machine: The ink layer is thin, suitable for fine graphic printing
Screen printing machine: The ink layer is thick, with strong three-dimensional sense and hiding power
Production efficiency
Pad printing machine: Fast, especially suitable for small batch, diversified product printing
Screen printing machine: High efficiency in large batches, but it requires baking and drying time
In summary, pad printing machine and screen printing machine have advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different application scenarios. Pad printing machines are better at dealing with irregular small area products, while screen printing machines perform well in large-area, flat printing. Therefore, the choice of equipment mainly depends on the specific production needs and product characteristics.
Pad printing machine by transferring the pattern or text from the etched steel plate to the substrate, its workflow can be divided into the following steps:
Ink spraying: First spray the ink on the etching plate, and then use a retractable scraper to scrape off the excess ink. At this time, the solvent remaining in the etched area of the ink evaporates and forms a colloidal surface, which is easy to adsorb the rubber head.
graphic transfer: rubber head down to etching plate, ink absorption. The solvent in the ink continues to volatilize, and the remaining part of the wet ink surface is more conducive to being closely combined with the printed object.
Pattern printing: The rubber head rises and moves above the printed object, contacts it, and transfers the ink to the surface of the object. The design of the silicone head needs to produce a rolling action to remove excess air from the etched plate and ink surface.
Ink curing: Finally, by heating or natural air drying, the ink is cured on the substrate to form the final printing effect.
In general, pad printing machine has high precision, wide adaptability, easy operation and other technical characteristics, so that it is widely used in electronic products, plastic products, glass products and metal products and other industries.
