Programmable Automatic Pad Cleaning System
Expanded Plate Holders and Pad Assemblies
2-Position Pneumatic Shuttle (pad or part movement)
For higher-capacity demands, the MS-250 Pad Printing Machine—built on the same precision laser-cut steel frame—offers an enhanced air cylinder and supports up to 4-color printing using 56mm ink cups.
Compact, fast, and precision-built, the MS-130 is ideal for pad printing on medical devices, automotive parts, electronic components, and promotional products. It’s the perfect solution for manufacturers looking for flexibility, durability, and upgrade-ready technology.
Key Features of the MS Series Pad Printing Machines
- Programmable Automatic Pad Cleaning System
Enhance print consistency and reduce operator intervention with the integrated automatic pad cleaning device. This programmable system maintains clean pads during production runs, minimizing print defects and downtime. Automatic Ink Viscosity Control (VISCOMATIC™)
Maintain optimal ink performance with the VISCOMATIC™ system, which continuously monitors and adjusts ink viscosity in real-time—eliminating guesswork and ensuring consistent transfer quality across long print runs.Fast Cliché Changeover – No Tools Required
Switch jobs quickly and efficiently thanks to the tool-free cliché plate change system, designed for minimal setup time and maximum production uptime.Integrated Ink Viscosity Control Software
Built-in software enables intuitive control and monitoring of ink viscosity settings, providing easy access through the user interface and full integration with the machine’s automation protocols.Open Loading Area for Operator Access
Designed with an open-frame architecture, the MS Series offers clear access for manual part loading, setup, and maintenance—improving workflow and reducing handling errors.Touchscreen Interface with Graphical Icons
Operators benefit from an intuitive touchscreen control panel, featuring easy-to-understand graphical icons that simplify programming, job setup, and real-time adjustments.Adjustable X/Y/R Cliché and Pad Positioning
Fine-tune your setup for perfect print alignment using mechanical X/Y/R (rotation) adjustments on both the cliché holder and pad assembly. This allows for precise registration across all color positions.Automation-Ready Interface with RS-232 Port
Seamlessly integrate the MS Series into automated workflows using the built-in RS-232 communication port, ideal for syncing with conveyors, pick-and-place units, or robotic systems.
