Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pad printing machine which enables the rotary application of the pad printing onto objects, minimising the appearance of cuts in the continuity of the printing performed.
  • Pad printing is a reproduction process that is performed by means of pad printing machines comprising a frame with a supporting element (flat, or cylindrical usually) wherein a metal or plastic image plate can be mounted, precisely where the image to be pad printed is engraved configuring a rotogravure. Ink is applied to this image plate by means of an inkwell, usually provided with a doctor blade, followed by a silicone pad or a pad made of similar material, usually cylindrical, that presses onto the engraving of the plate collecting the ink from the rotogravure and transferring it to the part to be pad printed. It is a highly used system for marking objects.
  • the image plates are usually made of photopolymer or steel, the photopolymer plates being more common since they are easier to create, even being internally developed, while those made of steel frequently require the intervention of specialised companies.
  • US 2009/120311 A1 discloses a roller pad printer for printing on an associated object, including a frame, a flat cliché operably mounted to the frame and a resilient roller pad operably mount to the frame for rolling contact, at a first location and in a first direction along the cliche, to receive ink transferred from the cliche.
  • the roller pad is adapted for rolling contact with the object, at a second location and in a second direction, to transfer the ink from the roller pad to the object.
  • a pad printing machine according to the present invention as defined in claim 1 is provided.
  • the pad printing machine of the invention has a configuration which enables a continuous application of the pad printing, minimising or directly preventing the appearance of any type of joint, cut or discontinuity in the printing performed. It is applicable to any object to be pad printed which has a volume, for example soles or platforms of footwear, bottles, toys, etc.
  • the machine is of the type comprising a frame with a supporting element for an image plate, supporting element being understood as an element or support that enables the interchangeable assembly. It also comprises a rotary pad and an inkwell for inking the pad, which, according to the invention, further comprises a rotary support provided with rotary means for securing the object to be pad printed.
  • the combined rotary movement of the pad and the object to be pad printed is achieved, obtaining a printing that is continuous and with a minimal number of cuts in the printing on the three-dimensional outline of the object in the area in contact with the pad.
  • the pad printing machine (1) of the preferred embodiment of the invention is of the type that comprises: a frame (2) with a supporting element (3) -in this case a flat sheet- for an image plate (4) -made of photopolymer in this specific case-, a rotary pad (5) - a silicone roller in this case- and an inkwell (6) for inking the pad (5)
  • the rotary support (7) comprises a rotation shaft (7a) parallel to the rotation shaft (5a) of the rotary pad (5), which is cylindrical, such that a cylindrical printing is performed.
  • the rotation shaft (7a) of the rotary support (7) can be not parallel to the rotation shaft (5a) of the rotary pad (5), such that printing of other shapes may be performed, adapted to the contour of the object (8) (for example conical if the shafts are convergent and the pad (5) is conical).
  • the rotary support (7) preferably comprises a last (9) for securing the object (8) to be pad printed in order to improve the securing thereof.
  • the rotary support (7) is mounted in the frame (2) through collapsible means over the actuation area of the pad (5).
  • the rotary support (7) comprises arms (11) facing each other and a joint (12) for attaching to the frame (2) in order to enable the collapsing thereof, the collapsible means linking the rotary support (7) and the frame (2).
  • Two semi shafts (14, 14a) (see fig 1 ) for securing the object (8) are arranged in said arms (11) (in this case through the last (9)), at least one of which comprises a rotary actuation (15).
  • This configuration is simple, since it only requires two support points for the object (both semi shafts) and the collapsing joint (12).
  • the rotary actuation (15) ideally comprises a first motor (15a) and a first belt (15b), also being a simple configuration.
  • the collapsible means comprise, in this non-limiting example of the embodiment of the invention, cylinders (10), pneumatic and/or hydraulic, which enables a suitable actuation speed.
  • the supporting element (3) for the image plate (4) in this example comprises a flat sheet (16) (see fig 3 ) which is mounted in a carriage (17) provided with back-and-forth linear actuation means along guides (25) in the actuation area of the inkwell (6) (underneath it).
  • Said back-and-forth linear actuation means comprise a second motor (18) and a second belt (23) (see fig 2 ).
  • the inkwell (6) is preferably arranged in a fixed support (19) on the carriage (17) which carries the sheet (16) of the supporting element (3) of the image plate (4), such that it starts to prime the image plate (4) with the back-and-forth movement of the carriage (17). This causes the ink to be deposited by gravity.
  • a cleaning roller (20) for the pad (5) has also been envisaged in the machine (1) (see fig 1 and 3 ).
  • Said cleaning roller (20) is made of drying material and is in contact with the pad (5) following from the application area of the printing in order to dry the paint residues after the printing and before the next inking.
  • the pad (5) and/or the cleaning roller (20) are mounted in the frame through adjustable sliders (21) (see fig 3 ) in order to precisely adjust the position and contact pressure thereof during the operations through linear actuators (22).
  • the machine is complemented by an obvious electronic and/or electromechanical controller, not shown, which controls the operations of the different elements.
