Pad Printing Steel Plate for Ink Cup Pad Printer
How to Selection of Clichés or Plates- The selection of plates or clichés depends on many requirements: Based on nature of pad printing jobs
Is the need to make clichés for long term production? One design for high mileage. : Thick steel clichés.
Is the frequency of change over very high? but each design needs only a few thousand prints, : thin steel plate
What is the advantage of the Steel clichés-- made of high-quality corrosion-resistant chromium steel (hardness 63 Rc).
1. For many years, special casting processes and a high percentage of chromium have enabled our steel clichés to win a substantial market share thanks to their quality. 2. Steel clichés are also largely produced using laser engraving. This innovative technology is something of a novelty on the market.3. Extremely high performance can be achieved with no problems
Measure the Value of Our Steel Cliché Specifications:
| Thick Steel Plate Specification Feature | Benefit |
| Surface finish roughness (Rz) is a maximum 6.0 microns. Lapped surface is completely free of marks and flaws. | Pad only picks up etched image- no specks or flaws. Ink cup doctors cleanly with no leakage. |
| Steel hardness is consistently 64 RC (Rockwell) plus or minus 1 RC. | Plates are always same hardness and multiple plates will wear consistently. |
| All hard edges and corners are chamfered. | Handling is safe without worry of personal injury or collateral damage. |
| Flatness tolerance of lapped side for cup-style plates does not exceed 0.0005 inch per 5.0 inches of length. | Ink cup won't leak due to plate not being perfectly flat. |
| Parallelism tolerance of lapped side to back side of plate does not exceed 0.005 inches per 5.0 inches of length. | Assurance of constant plate thickness over entire surface. |
| Specified plate width and length tolerance is plus zero and minus 0.15mm. | Assurance of constant size of plate from plate to plate within series or duplicates. |
| Consistent etch depth tolerance is within plus/minus 2.0 microns (tighter tolerance available on request). Plate depths are double-checked with precision measuring equipment in three places to ensure consistent etch depth. | Assurance of consistent etch depth on each plate, and from plate to plate within series or duplicates. |
| Special depths or multiple depths on plates are available upon special request. | Custom specifications can be met as required. |
