YYS-100-100 Automatic Rotary Circumference Floor-Standing Open Inkwell Pad Printing Machine

Core Abstract The YYS-100-100 is an automatic rotary circumference floor-standing single-color open inkwell pad printing machine purpose-built for 360° full-wrap printing on small equal-diameter cylindrical workpieces. Ideal for appliance and automotive rotary knobs, straight-wall bottle caps, pen barrels, and syringe graduations in the home-appliance, automotive, cosmetic-packaging, instrumentation, stationery, and hardware industries, it specializes in single-color circumferential logos, scales, and text on cylinders up to Φ20 mm. Its core advantages include a linear pure-rolling transfer mechanism that eliminates side-edge blurring and distortion; a floor-standing cast-aluminum column-and-base body that stays stable and low-noise at 1700 pcs/hr; an open inkwell system for effortless cleaning and fast color changeovers at lower cost than sealed cups; plus microcomputer control, a built-in digital counter, and dual panel/pedal start for easy operation.

I. Product Overview

1. Product Category

  • Equipment Name: Automatic Rotary Circumference Floor-Standing Open Inkwell Pad Printing Machine
  • Model: YYS-100-100
  • Equipment Positioning: Adopts a precision mechanical linkage of "linear-shuttle table + workpiece rolling contact," purpose-designed for 360° full-circumference or large-angle arc-scale, logo, and text printing on equal-diameter small cylinders and straight-wall knob exteriors. Single-machine maximum speed reaches 1700 cycles/hr. (Note: fixtures are only for fixing product position; the machine is shipped without specific workpiece fixtures.)

2. Applications

  • Industry Applications: Widely used in home appliances, automotive parts, daily-chemical packaging, instrumentation, stationery, and hardware industries.
  • Printing Scope: Dedicated to single-color circumferential development printing on equal-diameter small cylinders and straight-wall (non-tapered) knobs — such as equal-diameter selector knobs for ovens/gas stoves, straight-wall bottle-cap side labels, full-circle pen-barrel text, and equal-diameter syringe graduations; maximum printing diameter Φ20 mm.
  • Workpiece Form Limitation: Only suitable for equal-diameter cylinders (straight-wall shape); not applicable to conical workpieces with obvious taper (slope).

3. Core Functions

  • Linear Pure-Rolling Transfer Mechanism: After the rubber head presses against the cylindrical workpiece, the shuttle table translates linearly, driving the cylinder to roll and self-rotate, "rolling" the long pattern flatly onto the side surface without distortion.
  • Microcomputer Intelligent Control: Microcomputer control panel with clear operating logic, supports single-point jogging and fully automatic continuous operation; simple and fast setup.
  • Built-in Digital Counter: Integrated digital-display counter precisely tracks printing cycles in real time, facilitating order-based shipment and piece-rate accounting.
  • Foot Pedal / Panel Dual Start Mode: Supports both panel manual jogging and foot-switch continuous triggering, enabling seamless switching between setup/proofing and batch operation.

II. Core Advantages

  • Linear Pure Rolling — Perfect Fine Knob Scales (Pure Cylindrical Rolling): The linear shuttle table translation drives the object to self-rotate, forming line-contact continuous pure rolling that thoroughly solves the common problem of blurred, deformed, and stretched edges at both ends of side surfaces in ordinary flat down-pressing; small-scale text is extremely sharp and full.
  • Floor-Standing Body: The machine adopts a vertical column and floor base, with low center of gravity and high rigidity, remaining stable, anti-vibration, and ultra-low noise even at 1700 cycles/hr high-speed operation.
  • Open Inkwell Ink Supply: Uses an independent open inkwell plus doctor blade for ink supply — an intuitive structure that is extremely simple to disassemble and clean, with low color-change cost; good ink-viscosity compatibility, with consumable and maintenance costs far lower than sealed cup systems.

IV. Operation & Workflow

1. Required Materials

  • Substrate: Equal-diameter cylindrical small parts to be printed (diameter ≤20 mm, e.g., straight-wall knobs, small bottle caps).
  • Consumables: Steel plate, fixture, rubber head, ink, thinner, doctor blade
  • Air Pressure: 4–6 bar. An air compressor is required.
  • Power Supply: 110V or 220V, factory-configured per the customer's destination voltage.

2. Standard Workflow

  1. Air Supply Connection: Connect 4–6 bar compressed air, check for leaks, then power on.
  2. Steel Plate & Rubber Head Installation: Load the etched steel plate into the open inkwell base, mount the dedicated long-bar rubber head, and pour a proper amount of mixed ink into the open inkwell.
  3. Fixture Assembly & Position Calibration: Install the workpiece locating fixture on the shuttle table, place the product to be printed (the fixture is for fixing product position); adjust the table height so the rubber head presses the product surface with appropriate force when descending.
  4. Trial Printing & Adjustment (Linear Rolling Calibration): Press the foot pedal to start a single trial print; observe the motion — the shuttle table translates, the rubber head presses on the product surface, and the product is pressed by the head and rolls to transfer during translation; after printing, the head lifts and the shuttle table stops; observe the clarity of the side print, fine-tune the table height (rubber head press force) to ensure the print is full without slipping and the start/end close flatly.
  5. Mass Production: After calibration, enter formal batch operation; the operator quickly loads/unloads workpieces, and the digital counter automatically accumulates the output quantity.
  6. Shutdown & Maintenance: After work, shut off the air and power, clean residual ink from the open inkwell, wipe the rubber head and steel plate with cleaning agent, and keep the machine dry.

V. Sales Tips & FAQ

Sales Tips

  • Precisely Position "Small Knob Scale Specialist": Directly show home-appliance and automotive knob customers the 1–6 position knob effect from the video, emphasizing "full-circumference printing on straight-wall cylinders up to 20 mm diameter" — highly targeted with very high customer match.
  • Pre-Screen Workpiece Form: When receiving an inquiry, be sure to confirm whether the workpiece is "equal-diameter straight-wall" and "diameter ≤20 mm"; clearly inform that tapered parts are not suitable, demonstrating industrial rigor.
  • Bundle Sales Suggestion: Bundle with consumables such as steel plates, fixtures, rubber heads, and doctor blades to raise average order value and customer stickiness.

FAQ

  • Q: What is the maximum workpiece diameter this machine can print?
  • A: The maximum printable diameter is Φ20 mm. For small knobs and small round caps within 20 mm diameter, the machine's shuttle stroke and 100 mm steel plate development length match most perfectly, producing seamlessly closed full-circle scales.
  • Q: Is an air compressor required? Does it support 110V voltage?
  • A: Yes. The machine's motions are driven by air cylinders and require an external 4–6 bar air compressor. The electrical circuit supports global customization (110V or 220V), and the machine is equipped with a power plug that complies with local certification standards at the factory.
