The microPrint LCN-131 is one of the most advanced and intelligent pad printing machines ever developed—setting a new standard in precision and process control.

When microPrint introduced the groundbreaking LC Series back in 1995, it revolutionized the pad printing industry. For the first time, a system was engineered specifically to address—and solve—the common challenges faced in pad printing production. From ink management to registration and repeatability, the LC Series brought new levels of control and consistency to the market.

The LCN-131 continues that tradition with a compact, high-performance design that directly answers the long-standing frustrations many operators face. From setup to production, this machine is built to deliver reliable, repeatable results.

Here are just a few highlights of what sets the LCN-131 apart:

• Integrated Automatic Pad Cleaning System
  The LCN-131 comes equipped with a fully integrated pad cleaning system, ensuring consistent print quality by automatically removing ink residue from the pad. This feature minimizes manual intervention, reduces downtime, and maintains high-quality prints throughout extended production runs.

• Optional Automatic Ink Viscosity Control (Viscomat)
  Maintain optimal ink consistency with the optional Viscomat system. This feature automatically monitors and adjusts ink viscosity in real-time, ensuring consistent ink transfer and reducing the need for manual adjustments.

• User-Friendly Touchscreen Interface
  Operate the LCN-131 with ease using its graphic monochrome touchscreen display. The intuitive interface allows for quick adjustments, setup configurations, and real-time monitoring, streamlining the printing process and enhancing operator efficiency.

• Precision X/Y/R Cliché Holder Adjustments
  Achieve precise print positioning with the mechanically adjustable cliché holder, which allows for fine-tuning in the X and Y axes, as well as rotational (R) adjustments. This feature ensures accurate alignment and high-quality prints, even on complex substrates.

• Compact Design for Easy Integration
  The LCN-131's compact and robust design makes it ideal for standalone operation or seamless integration into automated production lines. Its suspended architecture allows for sublevel printing, accommodating larger parts without compromising accessibility.

• Quick-Change Magnetic Ink Cup System
  Facilitate rapid job changeovers with the quick-change magnetic ink cup system. This tool-free feature allows for swift replacement of ink cups, minimizing downtime and enhancing productivity.

• Multiple Ink Cup Sizes Supported
  The LCN-131 is compatible with various sealed ink cup sizes, including 56mm, 70mm, 86mm, and 120mm diameters. This versatility accommodates a wide range of print area requirements, making it suitable for diverse applications.

• Adjustable Pad Stroke and Force
  Customize the printing process with adjustable pad stroke lengths up to 180mm and a maximum printing force of 480N. These settings provide flexibility to handle different substrates and printing requirements.

• Energy-Efficient Pneumatic Drive System
  Powered by a pneumatic drive system, the LCN-131 operates efficiently with an air consumption of 76 l/min and requires a compressed air supply of 5–6 bar (87 psi). This system ensures reliable performance while maintaining energy efficiency.

• Built with Swiss Precision and Quality
  Manufactured in Switzerland, the LCN-131 embodies Swiss engineering excellence, utilizing top-quality components and unparalleled craftsmanship. This commitment to quality ensures long-term reliability and superior performance in demanding production environments.
