Gemini 130 Pad Printer

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.

GEMINI 130 pad printer from 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.


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.
  • Each print station is equipped with X-Y-R adjustable cliché positioning for fast and accurate color registration.
  • The pneumatic-mechanical, gear-driven system guarantees high color registration accuracy with smooth, reliable operation.
  • The well-known advantages of the sealed ink cup system provide highest printing quality, simple handling, low ink maintenance and environmentally safe operation.
  • The convenient center gate plexiglass guarding allows easy access to print area while ensuring safety and optimum visibility.
  • By using the standard automatic tape cleaning device, ever-increased print quality and production efficiency are achieved. Detail view of the Gemini 130 pad printing area shows the dual cup arrangement.
