ML-500 MOTOR DRIVEN PAD PRINTING MACHINE
Machine Type: Motor Driven Multi Color Pad Printing Machine
Manufacturer: microPrint
Origin: Made in Switzerland
The Swiss precision ML-500 pad printing machine from microPrint is a universal multi-color modular pad printing machine that features a "hybrid" control drive system with both linear motor controls and pneumatic controls. There is also a model ML-500E that is all motor driven controlled with servo motor control for the vertical pad stroke axis.
The ML-500 can be outfitted with several closed ink cups or even with an open inkwell. As a sealed ink cup pad printing machine the ML-500 can be outfitted with:
- 8 color closed ink cup x 56 mm diameter
- 6 color closed ink cup x 70 mm diameter
- 5 color closed ink cup x 86 mm diameter
- 4 color closed ink cup x 120 mm diameter
- 3 color closed ink cup x 140 mm diameter
The ML-500 pad printing machine is available with fully integrated automatic tape pad cleaning system and automatic ink viscosity control system (both are optional). The ML-500 can also be set-up with a multi axis robot, Servo-driven linear part shuttle or a Servo driven Carousel, which is an oval racetrack style multi-fixture part indexer.
