Gemini 130 pad printer shown with adjustable work knee. Sturdy box frame construction ensures stability and repeatability in an industrial environment as well as minimizing vibration.

New Star Two-Color Machine Offers Quality, Durability
& Flexibility for Industrial Pad Printing – Made in USA

GEMINI 130 pad printing machine from ITW Trans Tech allows
two-color printing applications using a single part-holding fixture. The concept unites complex precision technology with amazingly simple handling and offers a variety of application possibilities with increased flexibility and production, plus reduced cost.

Designed to withstand the rigors of a demanding production environment, the Gemini 130 box-framed design utilizes solid steel side plates. This rigid structure promotes exceptional stability in applications that require a high degree of repeatability. Optional indexing systems can be added for even higher production.

Detail view of the Gemini 130 printing area shows the dual cup arrangement. The pad clean-off tape can be seen passing under three white rollers in the foreground.

Main Features & Benefits:

• Solid box frame construction ensures stability & repeatability.

• With the use of two reciprocating, gear-driven printing heads in a unique “V”
configuration, ink pickup, printing and pad cleaning are performed simultaneously.

• Achieves high-quality, two-color print while using single holding fixture.

• PLC control allows independent control of each print head. Any variation of one to four hits from either print head is possible.

• Individual vertical stroke is adjusted through operator control panel.
