The microPrint Swiss-precision automated pad printing system is engineered for exceptional performance and reliability, making it the ideal solution for printing on premium, high-end products. This advanced system features eight cutting-edge Modul 110 print heads, seamlessly integrated with a 24-station oval track indexer powered by a servo-driven system. Each print head is equipped with linear motor control for precise horizontal pad carriage movement (Y-axis) and servo motor control for smooth left-to-right motion (X-axis). The system’s design allows for full XY positional machine adjustments in relationship to the 8 fixtures directly from the intuitive touchscreen interface, ensuring unmatched flexibility and ease of use.

This state-of-the-art automation was originally built for Swiss luxury writing instruments, such as pens and mechanical pencils with hexagonal barrels. Its efficient workflow allows the first four print heads to decorate three sides of the barrel before the fixture rotates the product 180 degrees, enabling the remaining four print heads to print additional colors on the opposite sides. However, the versatility and precision of this system make it ideal for other high-value products, delivering consistent, vibrant multi-color prints across a variety of shapes and materials.

The system includes essential features for flawless operation, such as an automatic pad cleaning system and Viscomatic ink viscosity control, which ensure consistent ink application and reduce production downtime. The user-friendly touchscreen interface features universally recognized graphical icons, eliminating the need for language-specific instructions and making it accessible to operators worldwide.

Control and automation are enhanced with a PROFIBUS interface connected to the Beckhoff PLC, enabling lightning-fast setups. Operators can store all job parameters in the PLC for effortless recall, ensuring quick transitions between production runs and maximizing efficiency.

Safety is also a priority with this system, which is fully enclosed with interlocked doors, safety relays, and an emergency stop (ESTOP) button conveniently located at the loading station.

Whether you’re producing luxury writing instruments, high-end packaging, or other premium items, this Swiss-engineered microPrint automated pad printing system delivers precision, efficiency, and quality that exceed industry standards.
