Hot stamping and thermal transfer processes
Thermal transfer process
1. Round flat stamping method:
The round flat stamping method is actually the process principle of the flat thermal transfer machine. Flat thermal transfer machines are mainly used for flat substrates and large curved surfaces. The products that can be round flat transferred are mainly in the following forms: products that need to be transferred on the entire surface. Panels of household appliances, a certain surface of cosmetic boxes, the upper surface of plastic gift boxes or wooden jewelry boxes, toy puzzle boards, plastic decorative murals, table display racks, fan surfaces, PVC plastic boards, etc., skis, plastic posters. By designing a floating device on the workbench, the round flat stamping machine can transfer special products with more complex shapes. The representatives of this type of thermal transfer machine are KC-H-150M and KC-H-300M. We usually call the transfer machine with the stamping device as a rubber roller a thermal transfer machine.
2. Round-on-round hot stamping method:
It is the process principle of the cylindrical heat transfer machine. In order to achieve multi-purpose use of one machine, most hot stamping machine manufacturers combine the functions of the flat heat transfer machine and the round surface heat transfer machine to achieve the dual functions of the flat and curved surface. When performing flat transfer, the rubber roller presses down and rotates, and the workbench moves in the left and right directions; when performing curved surface transfer, the workbench is kept stationary, and only the rubber roller and the round surface product interact with each other in pure rolling.
u Hollow plastic bottles: One type is relatively hard and can withstand the pressure of the rubber roller. Such bottles can be transferred, but axial positioning measures must be taken. The other type is relatively soft. Such products must be inflated before they can be transferred.
u Plastic hose
Toothpaste, facial cleanser, hand cream, facial cleanser, etc. The opening of such products is as large as the bottle body, and a support shaft can be made to conveniently support the product for transfer.
u Cup products
Cup products are similar to hoses, and the opening is generally larger than the bottle body. It is more convenient to make the support shaft. The proportion of cup products using transfer technology is the largest.
Hot stamping process
3. Flat pressing hot stamping method:
Model of flat hot stamping machine: hot stamping text and trademarks on a certain part of the plane. Such as: VCD panel. The action of the flat hot stamping machine is relatively simple, and only the hot stamping plate performs up and down actions. This type of hot stamping machine is the most diverse: KC-HM-TC series manual flat hot stamping machine, KC-H-TC series pneumatic flat hot stamping machine.
4. Flat pressing round hot stamping method:
It can achieve hot stamping on round surfaces. Such as: plastic bottle caps, ballpoint pens, hoses, glass bottles, round dials, golf clubs, plastic boxes for skin care products, plastic box packaging for food, etc. KC-H-TC50K, KC-H-TC70K KC-H-TC100K are typical curved hot stamping machines.
Profile transfer process
Many products are not standard flat or round surfaces, and some even have very complex surfaces. To perform hot stamping on the surfaces of such products, profile transfer technology is required: KC-H-TC120KM is a profile hot stamping machine with a floating workbench. Its workbench can float up and down so that the hot stamped product and the rubber roller are in close contact; KC-H-TC318M is a profile hot stamping machine with a floating rubber roller. The rubber roller can float along the contour of the product to complete the hot stamping.
