Key Features & Information

1 to 6 colour enclosed cup pad printer

The TPX range of machines have been in production now for almost 40 years. Designed and built to the very highest standards, the TPX range has always been synonymous with engineering excellence for the most demanding of applications. In recent years HMI touch screens and full servo control have been added to the TPX range.

Touch screen control with full servo precision operation

A full servo drive, enclosed ink cup pad printing machine, this machine can be configured with a range of ink cups ranging from 72mm – 195mm. It can also be configured with a linear product shuttle or transfer carre for high output 4 colour work. Programmable pad cleaning and Teca Print’s Ti 300 thinner injection can also be added.

Large range of plate sizes and configuration options

Teca Print’s quick change plate platform allows the use of either nylo or steel printing plates.

Ink pick up and printing positions are both adjustable and all machine settings are easily configured via a HMI touch screen controller.

What is Pad Printing?

The pad printing process uses a silicone rubber printing pad to transfer ink from an etched printing plate directly on to the component.

The flexibility of the printing pad means that curved or uneven surfaces can be printed easily. Multi-colour and process colour images can be printed using a component shuttle or a carousel system. The printing of very fine detail is also possible.

Pad printing was developed for the watch industry and is still used today by the world’s leading watch manufacturers.

Other applications include the printing of automotive components, medical devices and a huge range of plastic moulded parts which require printing.

Low cost consumables

Available with 2 sizes of plate holder, 100 x 100 or 150 x 100, the quick change combination plate holders make it easy to swap between nylo and 10mm steel plates as required to suit your production requirements.
