Bob Hitchcock General Manager, ITW Trans Tech Back to Top (Carol Stream, Illinois August 11, 2009) Trans Tech, a leader in industrial product decoration systems and consumables, is proud to announce the release of the two and four color Aero series pad printers. Electro-pneumatically driven and PLC controlled, these machines offer high value from a multi-color machine with extreme versatility. A touch screen interface makes for easy operation and set-up. The compact design of these printers allows for mobility. Both the two and four color models can be table or bench mounted, placed on an optional machine base, or installed directly into automated systems. The modular control and efficient machine design provides functionality not normally found on machines in this market segment. Each color station can operate independently from another. Thus, critical process factors such as pad delay, multiple hits, cliché position with XYR movement, and pad stroke are all fully adjustable and independent at each station. This adjustability allows an operator to print projects that might otherwise have required additional machinery or resources. The Aero™ series also ships with the SpaceFrame™ and ExpressLiner™ ink cup system for color changes faster than other machines on the market. Options available for these models include: pad cleaner (tape-off device), pneumatic parts shuttle, servo part shuttle, machine base, and custom fixtures.
