1. Leaders in pad printing, we have created a new application, especially ment for GAS CYLINDERS

2. Properties of the system To position, center, lift up and then print your logo on gas cylinders Possibility to print one / two colours on the two opposite sides of the cylinder Production output rate: 90 pieces per hour ( expressly requested by customer) Sizes of logo: 110 x 120 mm on one side, and 60 x 200 on the opposite Possibility of ‘’on line’’ installation, linked with a servicing/fill up station Customized solutions Sizes of the system mm 4800x4850x2400

3. Composition of machine Cylinder stopping device placed on conveyor allowing the passage of one bottle a time, towards the lifting device ---.---.--- Orientation and lifting device Providing centering and blocking the right position during printing stage

4. Nr. 2 PAD PRINTERS, LEXICA 150 (here you see the backside of one of them) One machine in front of the other Printing device on 90° Electropneumatic drive Axes movement on slideways Plc commands on keyboard Each printer is adjustable on X – Y axis Cliche holder plate mm 750 Machines support adjustable in height (see the picture here at side)

5. Very special: on both printing heads Transversal Doctoring System - due to the very big logos to print - Each machine is fitted with one sealed cup, diam. 135, with ceramic ring. Pneumatically operated, and sliding horizontally on the cliche holder plate Size of the cliches 150x640, photopolymer type Stroke of cup mm 500

6. Features of the printing line ° The machine was projected for being integrated into a production/reconditioning/ refurbishment line of gas cylinders As such, we had to respect precise specifications as to pre- existing equipments, especially concerning conveying line. The pad printing station had to be assembled around the conveyorAs such, we had to respect precise specifications as to pre- existing equipments, especially concerning conveying line. The pad printing station had to be assembled around the conveyor Strong electrowelded steel frame Possibility to employ very big pads thanks to its high clearance Numerical control of strokes and speeds of both doctor and pads, from the keyboard ‘Tintoblock’ hermetic inkcup : rationalized ink content, to prevent evaporation and bad smells of diluant, it keeps the viscosity of ink for longtime

7. 90° PAD MOVEMENT In the picture it is possible to see the printing system R90: the pad picks the image up from the cliche, and moves horizontally to the bottle (makes a movement on 90°) Moment of cylinder lift up

8. Back side view Clamping and lifting
