MODUL 130 One-Color Pad Printing Machine
Swiss-Built Precision Pad Printer for Automation-Ready Production Lines
Intelligent One-Color Pad Printing with Swiss Precision
The microPrint MODUL 130 is a mid-sized, Swiss-engineered pad printing machine built for high-performance industrial printing applications. Whether used as a standalone unit or as part of a fully automated production line, the MODUL 130 offers unmatched speed, flexibility, and reliability for decorating medical devices, automotive parts, electronics, tools, and consumer products.
This model is part of the MODUL Series—a line of modular pad printing systems designed to be interconnected and operated under a centralized control system. Using linear motor technology, the MODUL 130 delivers fast, repeatable, and highly accurate printing cycles while offering programmable control over pad movement and print locations.
Advanced Machine Architecture
Each MODUL 130 unit can be outfitted with either 86 mm or 120 mm magnetic ink cups (3.38" or 4.72"), allowing for a broad range of print sizes and image applications. The X/Y/Z axis positions of both the pad and cliché can be fully programmed via the intuitive color touchscreen interface, and the operator can define complex print sequences using graphic icons.
The system allows:
- Multiple Image Pickup: Pick up different artworks from various locations on the cliché and print them at precise, programmable positions.
- Multiple Ink Pickups for Higher Opacity: Especially useful for white ink on dark substrates, this function improves opacity in a single cycle.
- Freely Programmable Print Sequences: Easily set and modify print cycles and pad motion patterns without external software.
- Quick Job Changeovers
All print parameters are stored in the internal PLC for rapid and repeatable job setup. - High-Speed Operation
Powered by precision linear and servo motor drives for lightning-fast cycle times. - Swiss Precision Engineering
Built in Switzerland with world-class components for unmatched reliability and accuracy. - Automated Pad Cleaning & Ink Viscosity Control
Integrated systems ensure consistent print quality and reduce maintenance. - User-Friendly Touchscreen Interface
Simple navigation and control over all programmable functions and print cycles. - Heavy-Duty Frame Construction
Laser-cut and welded frame provides superior structural stability and durability. - Automation-Ready Integration
Includes built-in RS-232 interface for seamless integration into automated lines. - Exceptional Component Quality
Every machine is engineered with high-grade materials to maximize uptime and performance.
Network & Software Integration
MODUL 130 is built for Industry 4.0 environments:
- Ethernet Connectivity: Save, load, and manage print parameters locally or via server.
- Remote Diagnostics: microPrint technicians can access the machine remotely to troubleshoot, update firmware, or install new software features.
- Optional EtherCAT: Integrate into real-time factory automation systems. Transfer job programs from plant-wide management systems directly to MODUL print stations.
- Barcode Scanner Option: Load the correct job with a simple scan—no human error, faster changeovers, and consistent production accuracy.
Plug & Print™ Automation Ready
MODUL 130 supports seamless integration into automated workcells. Each standalone unit includes two automation interface ports for accessories or custom add-ons. It can easily be integrated with:
- Sensors to confirm part presence
- Vacuum lifting units with monitoring (for lightweight components)
- Pneumatic clamping systems
- Servo-driven part shuttles
- Part rotators for multi-face printing
- Pad cleaning devices
- Viscomatic ink viscosity control
Whether you're integrating this machine into a robotic workcell or designing a multi-station print line, MODUL 130 is ready out of the box.
