Air assist optimizes the pad printing process by improving ink transfer. Sometimes, the ink picked up by the pad from the plate remains too wet, leading to partial or imperfect printing on the substrate.

The controlled airflow on the pad before application causes slight surface drying of the ink, ensuring a cleaner transfer and better marking definition.

Particularly useful in multi-color printing, this function prevents the pad from smearing or mixing inks from previous passes, thereby ensuring perfect definition and cleanliness of successive colors.

Independent cylinders allow each pad to descend autonomously, ensuring great flexibility in the pad printing process.

This configuration makes it possible to mark objects whose width exceeds the standard spacing of the pads, without compromising on precision.

Particularly suitable for marking large parts or parts with complex geometry, this solution guarantees uniform ink application, even on irregular or extensive surfaces.

The XY table allows for manual positioning of the object to be marked along two axes (X: left-right, Y: front-back), ensuring precise alignment of the marking on the object’s surface.

It is particularly suitable when shapes or dimensions vary by piece or batch.

Recommended for small and medium series, it ensures repeatable positioning, improves productivity, and limits placement errors.

The XY table with rotary axis allows for precise positioning of the part to be marked on two axes (X: left-right translation, Y: front-back translation), complemented by angular adjustment via an integrated knob for fine orientation of the object.

This configuration ensures optimal marking alignment, which is particularly useful in repetitive series where positioning consistency is essential. It is perfectly suited for medium and high production rates.

The upper surface of the table accommodates a fixture, a mold, or any holding system adapted to the geometry of the part, ensuring maximum stability during printing.

This device provides high repeatability, significantly reduces the risk of errors when positioning parts, and contributes to improving productivity.

The XY table with rotary axis ensures precise positioning of the object to be marked on two axes (X: left-right, Y: front-back), while providing additional rotational adjustment thanks to an integrated dial.

This functionality allows the object to be oriented with precision for optimal marking alignment. Ideal for repetitive production, especially when multiple pieces need to be marked in series, it is perfectly suited for medium to high-volume production.

A jig, mold, or any device capable of holding the piece to be marked is attached to the top of this table.

This system improves productivity, ensures high repeatability, and reduces the risk of positioning errors.

The electronic conveyor developed for Pro pad printing machines is an advanced parts handling solution, designed for automated, multicolor, or high-speed production environments.

Versatile, it allows for the management of complex applications: multicolor printing with intermediate drying, robotic lines, and integration into automated systems.

Highly precise, it eliminates defects linked to approximate mechanical positioning, which is essential for high-tolerance printing. Its efficiency reduces handling times and optimizes production rates.

Fully programmable, it adapts to the specific needs of each client. Its integration is seamless and perfectly compatible with the architecture and controls of TTN machines.

Much more than a simple accessory, this electronic conveyor serves as a true driver of performance and competitiveness for TTN machines, meeting the requirements of the most demanding sectors (automotive, medical, cosmetics).

The XY table for object conveyor enables precise movement along the X and Y axes as well as rotation. Installed under the conveyor, it ensures optimal positioning of the part under the pad, an essential asset for marking complex or multi-zone surfaces.

Specially developed to work with electronic conveyors, it integrates perfectly into a new generation pad printing machine mounted on a high base.

Fully compatible with the bases of TTN 100, TTN 200, and TTN 350 models, this table incorporates fine rotation adjustment for high-precision alignment.

It is also suitable for positioning large-format substrates, thus offering great flexibility of use.

This base is equipped with a height-adjustable product table, featuring a guidance system integrated directly into the structure. This design clears the front space and allows the operator to work in a seated position with optimal comfort.

The grooved surface of the table allows for the insertion of sliding nuts, facilitating quick and precise fixing of jigs, cross tables, custom supports, or specific devices.

As an option, the standard table can be replaced by a TTN XY 240 cross table, which is perfectly suited for positioning electronic shuttles or technical parts requiring precise alignment.

The base also includes a secure storage space: a lockable side door, located on the left, provides convenient access to the compartment, turning the base into a true technical cabinet for storing tools or accessories.

The two-component setting paste for pad printing is used to create custom molds that serve to securely hold the object to be printed during the process.

The two components are mixed in equal parts to form a flexible paste that perfectly contours to the shape of the object. After hardening, it creates a custom-made mold ensuring stable and durable support.

The object can thus be repositioned repeatedly and precisely for each print. Easy to remove and replace, this solution adapts easily to different shapes and production runs.

The drying tunnel is a compact piece of equipment used in pad printing to accelerate ink drying after printing.

It operates with a conveyor belt that passes printed objects through a tunnel heated by infrared. The temperature is controlled to allow for optimal ink drying.

There are models with different dimensions, adapted to various production needs.

Printcolor pad printing inks are specially formulated to fully exploit the potential of pad printing, enabling precise marking of complex shapes and various materials. Offering excellent opacity, high gloss, and durable adhesion, they meet the most stringent technical and aesthetic requirements.

They can also be custom-formulated according to the most common colorimetric standards (RAL, Pantone®, etc.), ensuring a perfect fit for every application.

Available in single-component, two-component solvent-based systems, and universal UV versions, they cover a wide range of industrial applications.

Highly modular, they can be precisely adjusted to processing parameters, specific production requirements, and complex substrates thanks to a wide range of adapted solvents, thinners, and additives, including auxiliaries for Soft-touch surfaces or those with low surface tension.

Pad printing plates are engraved plates that contain the image or text to be printed onto parts. They play an essential role: the ink is deposited into the engraved recess of the plate before being transferred by the pad onto the part.

In operation, the plate is mounted on the pad printing machine. During each cycle, the ink cup ring scrapes and spreads the ink across the plate. The pad then picks up the ink from the recess of the plate to apply it to the part.

The engraving of the plates depends on their type: water or alcohol-washable plates are engraved using an exposure unit (with chemical development), while others are engraved directly via CO₂ laser or fiber laser.

The choice of plate depends on several factors: machine type, production volume, print precision, cost, and desired lifespan.

Pads for pad printing ensure the transfer of ink from the cliché to the object being printed. The range is available in various shapes (round, rectangular, conical, pointed, etc.) to adapt to flat, curved, or complex object surfaces.

Each geometry is designed to meet specific needs in terms of precision and coverage.

Made of silicone, the pads combine flexibility, resistance, and elasticity. This material allows them to adapt to contours while returning to their original shape after each impression, thus ensuring excellent longevity.
