ML-350 MOTOR DRIVEN PAD PRINTING MACHINE
High-Performance Multi-Color Pad Printing with Servo Control and Automation Capability
High-Speed, Servo-Controlled Pad Printing for Demanding Applications
The ML-350 and ML-350E pad print machinery come equipped with fully integrated automatic tape pad cleaning system and Viscomatic ink viscosity control system (both are optional). The ML-350 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. microPrint rewrote the book on pad printing equipment, and they are continually developing new innovations to allow the pad printing process to perform better in the real world.
The ML-350 linear motor driven pad printer from microPrint is a universal single or multi-color modular pad printing machine that features a hybrid control drive system with both linear motor control and pneumatic control. The ML-350E is linear motor driven in the horizontal axis and servo motor driven for the vertical axis (print stroke). The ML-350 and ML-350E can be set up with several closed ink cups or even with an open inkwell. Furthermore, you can also outfit this pad printing machine with a linear cup slide for pad printing long objects such as a catheter tube.
The ML-350 closed ink cup pad printing machines are Precision Swiss built and they can be outfitted with the following ink cup sizes:
- 6 color closed ink cup x 56 mm diameter
- 5 color closed ink cup x 70 mm diameter
- 4 color closed ink cup x 86 mm diameter
- 3 color closed ink cup x 120 mm diameter
- 2 or 1 color closed ink cup x 120 mm diameter
