Semi-Automated Pad Printing System – microPrint LCN-131 with 4-Station Rotary Indexer

This semi-automated pad printing system is built around the Swiss-made microPrint LCN-131 precision pad printer, integrated with a four-station WEISS-brand mechanical rotary indexing table for streamlined production. Designed for 2-up printing, this system allows two parts to be printed simultaneously, doubling throughput without compromising print quality.

Each cycle includes manual 2-up part loading and unloading, followed by a sequential process across four rotary stations:

• Station 1: Operator manually loads two parts

• Station 2: SicaTech LF-2 corona pretreatment system activates the surface to promote superior ink adhesion

• Station 3: LCN-131 pad printer delivers high-precision single-color printing on both parts

• Station 4: Hot air drying station ensures fast and thorough drying before unloading

This 2-up rotary system is ideal for short- to medium-run production where increased output and consistent part quality are essential. The compact, modular design minimizes operator intervention while maximizing efficiency.

• Manual 2-up loading/unloading for faster cycle times

• High-performance corona treatment for difficult substrates like polypropylene and polyethylene

• Hot air drying station accelerates curing and reduces handling time

• Swiss-built LCN-131 offers unmatched printing precision and repeatability

• Compact footprint and ergonomic operator access

Perfectly suited for industries requiring durable, high-quality pad prints, including medical devices, automotive components, consumer electronics, and cosmetic packaging.
