Reciprocating Cup Slide

The Reciprocating Cup Slide enables pad printing of images up to eighteen inches in length with sealed ink cup technology by using either existing sealed ink cup or conventional pad printing machines. This versatile conversion kit with a reciprocating ink cup will not only fit ITW Trans Tech machines, but also many other manufacturers’ machines as well.

Allows Printing of Especially Long or Narrow Images
• Product decorators who require long or narrow images will benefit from this accessory. Tubing, catheters, binder spines, even multiple images separated by some distance can be successfully pad printed using the cup slide unit.

• The reciprocating 60mm cup continuously passes across the cliché image, constantly rewetting the image and allowing the operator to use ink thinners mixed to the same ratios as previously used. Retarding the ink is completely unnecessary. The unique design of the 60mm ink cup allows little or no ink leakage from the cup seal and provides exceptionally clean doctoring, even over slightly irregular surfaces. This feature makes the system ideal for use with steel, foil, polymer, hydro-foil and Express- 3 cliché materials.

• Conversion of existing sealed ink cup or open inkwell-type pad printers is fast and can easily be changed back to a standard configuration. The doctor slide and cliché holder table are simply removed, a sensor is then installed, wires and air connected, and the machine is ready to print.

• This conversion accessory can also be ordered on new pad printing machines at considerable savings.
