DECORATIVE PRINTING MACHINE USING HOT FOIL TECHNOLOGY

Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering

An automatic stamping machine working on the principle of electro-pneumatics, up-down and roll-on and PLC which is successfully designed and developed. The sequencing of three actuators of the system was achieved effectively using PLC. The simple double acting cylinder gave good output for linear clamping, stamping and ejection of work pieces. The stamping was successfully commissioned, although the concept of using PLC in pneumatic is new, it was successfully proved that the sequential operation can be achieved. A device for hot-foil stamping on printing materials includes a heated stamping cylinder, a counter pressure cylinder, and a device providing for stamping foil. The device for providing the stamping foil has an adjustable guide element. That is disposed downstream of the stamping cylinder and of the counter pressure cylinder for guiding the stamping foil. The hot foil stamping device advantageously allows the stamping quality to be optimized. [1] This allows the attracting attention and retention it for longer durations compared to products and packaging without foil decoration.
