Servo Driven Transverse Cup Slide Device - Pad Printing Automation Component

The servo-driven transverse cup slide device from microPrint is a high-precision automation accessory engineered to enhance pad printing performance by delivering exact ink pick-up and deposition cycles. Designed specifically for microPrint's MS and ML Series pad printing machines, this system ensures the consistent and programmable motion of the ink cup along the X-axis—critical for large images or when multiple clichés are used.

Built in Switzerland with the highest standards of engineering, this device delivers unrivaled repeatability and allows for full customization of stroke lengths and speeds. The system’s motorized servo drive guarantees smooth, synchronized movement, which is essential for maintaining ink consistency and avoiding ghosting, especially on extended or multi-up clichés.

This cup slide is a vital enhancement for printing on elongated or multi-position objects, such as catheters, pipettes, rulers, or medical tubes. It is specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with microPrint MS and ML series pad printers, and is available as a factory-installed or retrofit option.

The servo-driven cup slide is often used in tandem with other automation modules such as:

• X/Y/R/Z adjustable worktables
• Rotary fixtures
• Linear or oval racetrack part indexers
  This allows for complex, multi-position part decoration with complete control over ink placement and pad interaction.

• Servo-Driven Precision: Provides repeatable, programmable ink cup motion for increased process stability.
• Ideal for Oversized or Multi-Up Plates: Perfect for long artwork, full-surface prints, or when printing across multiple clichés.
• Swiss-Made Engineering: Manufactured with premium-grade materials and components for industrial durability and reliability.
• Plug & Print™ Ready: Fully compatible with all microPrint MS and ML Series pad printing machines.
• Customizable Settings: Adjustable speed, acceleration, and stroke parameters via touchscreen interface (on equipped models).

This module is commonly deployed in:

• Medical device printing (catheters, syringes)
• Industrial rulers and scales
• Elongated promotional items
• Automotive tubing and sensors

Whether you're printing on medical devices, catheters, electronic housings, or industrial components, the servo-driven transverse cup slide device provides the necessary motion control and print consistency to meet the most demanding production specifications.

This automation module seamlessly integrates with microPrint’s Viscomatic™ ink viscosity control and automatic pad cleaning systems, offering a complete solution for high-output and high-consistency production environments. Paired with Printcolor's Swiss-formulated pad printing inks, this combination guarantees optimal adhesion, durability, and process reliability.
