Fully electric pad printing machine and pneumatic pad printing machine
2025-08-07
A pad printer is comprised of a series of movements, including the up-and-down and forward-and-backward motion of the pad, the movement of the shuttle table, the movement of the turntable table, the rise and fall of the scraper in an oil pan pad printer, and the relative sliding of the oil cup and the plate in an ink cup pad printer. Pad printers that use solenoid valves and cylinders to control the direction of compressed air are pneumatic pad printers, which are the most prevalent and technologically mature on the market. Pad printers that rely entirely on motors for these movements are fully electric. Fully electric pad printers address some customers' concerns about the noise and unstable operation associated with using air compressors.
Fully electric pad printers have the following key features:
1. High Precision
Powered by a servo motor, they precisely control the speed, stroke, and pressure of the pad's forward and backward and vertical movements, achieving high repeatability.
2. Energy-Saving and Environmentally Friendly
No compressed air is required, eliminating the noise associated with frequent compressor startups and air leaks from aging pneumatic components, further aligning with environmental standards.
3. High Flexibility
The pad lifting speed, forward and backward movement speed, ink cup and plate sliding speed, and pad vertical stroke can be precisely programmed and stored, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments during print changes.
4. Stable Print Quality
Electric pad printers avoid the unstable printing pressure and speed caused by air pressure fluctuations in pneumatic systems. They can stably control ink transfer volume and reduce defects such as ghosting and missing prints.
5. Convenient Intelligent Integration
They can easily be equipped with automatic pad cleaning devices, robots, and integrated with automated production lines and visual inspection systems. They support remote monitoring and data traceability, meeting the intelligent requirements of Industry 4.0.
Although fully electric pad printers eliminate the use of compressed air, they also increase the machine's power consumption. The use of precision mechanical components such as servo motors and precision screws significantly increases the cost of the pad printer. While air consumption is reduced, electricity costs also increase significantly in daily consumption. When selecting a pad printer, users should conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on their own resources and balance performance, price, and product precision requirements.
