Cupslides
For those who want to print on items that are longer than they are wide, we
have the solution: cupslides. Cupslides allow small machines to print larger
images, and even in multi- colors.
On a standard setup, the ink cup is mounted on the “y” axis (perpendicular to
the operator) and inks an image smaller than the diameter of the ink cup.
With the cupslide option, the cliché and cup are mounted on the “x” axis. The
cliché support can measure up to 275mm wide and 1300mm long, lying left
to right on the horizontal axis.
The cupslide unit works by sliding over the length of the image, inking the
etched artwork. The pad (which is the size of the image) picks up the image
and prints onto the part. In continuous auto-cycle, the pad and cup are syn-
chronized and the cup passes over the image only once per cycle.
Cupslide options are available with plate-sensing switches for multiple
lengths, or multi-artwork supports for widths of 275mm maximum and
lengths of 400, 600, 800 and 1000mm.
We also have congured cupslides with servo drive motors and multi-posi-
tion cliché settings to give our customers exibility in the lengths and French
sizes a machine can print.
