All-Motor Driven Pad Printing Machine

A new Swiss precision all-motor driven pad printing machine from Switzerland’s microPrint is now available from The Deco Technology Group. The company has been partnered with microPrint since 1997, sells their superior pad printing machinery and automations throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The ML-500E pad printer features motor controls, using frictionless linear motors for the X & Y axes and a servomotor for the Z axis (3,000 Newtons) for vertical pad stroke. This 3-axis moto- controlled pad printing machine reportedly gives full, precise & programmable control over pad placement during image pick up as well as transfer onto the part. This printing machine can memorize all customer required job parameters and the machine can pad print up to eight colors with industry standard tolerances.

ML-500E is available with fully integrated tape pad cleaning system and ink viscosity control system to continually mix the ink and automatically pump thinner into the ink cups. The ML-500E printer  can also be set up with a servo-driven linear part shuttle, rotary table, servo driven carousel or a multi-axis robot to turn and pivot complex shaped parts. MicroPrint brand ink cups are equipped with an outer ring of magnets inside the ink cup which is said to provide superior pad printing plate doctoring. A pneumatic ink cup pressure system is offered as an option.
