Abstract: A pad printing machine with a holder for a printing plate includes an ink supply device having a hollow body which rests with its front face on the printing plate during operation of the machine, a device for producing a relative movement between the printing plate and the hollow body, and a printing pad which can be pressed onto the inked printing plate and receives the ink from recesses in the printing plate and transfers the ink to an object to be printed. The drive assembly for the relative movement between the hollow body and the printing plate has a rotatably driven first cam and the drive assembly for the pad has a rotatably driven second cam, wherein both cams are arranged on a single control disc.

Abstract: A pad printing machine includes a printing plate holder, a printing plate attached on the printing plate holder, a device for inking the printing plate, and a pad configured to lift the ink off the printing plate and transferring the ink to an object to be printed. At least one of the printing plate holder, the device for inking the printing plate and the pad is moveably arranged, with the printing plate being supported for displacement and rotation.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for printing on the peripheral surface of cylindrical workpieces, in particular bottle stoppers, using a pad printing process, with a feeding device for the workpieces and with a cliché roller, to which are assigned an inking station, a doctoring station, and a printing station, wherein the printing station features a pad roller that transfers the ink from the cliché roller to the workpieces.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pad printer comprising a rotary table (12), at least two printing blocks (16) that are located on the rotary table (12), a respective inking device (18) that is situated on each printing block (16) and can be displaced radially between an idle position and an inking position and a respective pad (24) that can be displaced vertically between an idle position and a first and second working position. According to the invention, the pad (24) and the inking device (18) are fixed to a radially displaceable carriage (14).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for laser making a moving object may be used to decorate the surfaces of sealing caps. The sealing caps are transported past a first and second sensor for detecting the transport speed and the position of the sealing cap to be decorated to a laser station having at least one laser for decorating the sealing cap using the laser beam. The first and second sensors communicate with a laser beam control device and the information of the sensors is linked with the control information for the laser beam.
