Multi‑Axis Robot for microPrint Pad Printing Machinery
High-Speed Robotic Automation for Complex Pad Printing Applications
Introduction to Robotic Integration
Deco Tech provides cutting-edge multi‑axis robotic systems that pair seamlessly with microPrint pad printing machines. These robots enhance production lines by automatically loading and unloading parts, adjusting for varying shapes and sizes, and eliminating manual handling errors—all while maintaining precise print registration.
The standard automation component "robot" is a multi-axis automation device that can move and manipulate parts in virtually any axis. The robot features programmable tilting (90° in two directions) and 360° part rotation, and these functions can be programmed from the touch screen as this device is Plug & Print™ capable. The robot can also be outfitted with pneumatic clamping and tilt device for holding the part in the fixture properly.
Key Benefits of Multi‑Axis Robots
- Flexible Handling: Six or more axes adapt easily to complex or non-linear geometries.
- Increased Throughput: Robots reduce cycle times and allow continuous, high-speed operation.
- Consistent Quality: Robotic precision ensures repeatable placement and print accuracy.
- Reduced Labor and Waste: Automation lowers staffing needs and minimizes misprints or part damage.
