Slide-Table Feeds

Depending upon the shape of your part and fixture, a sliding table may speed and simplify feeding. 

Sliding tables are available in 3 configurations.  In each case, the table is composed of 4 Thomson bearings that glide on matching rails.  This design provides a smooth motion and consistent positioning.

Manual Slide-Table ( $500 )

Low-volume personalization work may be done using and inexpensive manual slide table.  The operator simply grasps a handle and moves the table in and out. 

Auto Slide-Table ( $1,250 )

The auto-sliding table is a smooth 1-stage mechanism that mechanically moves the table in and out in time with the print cycle.

In this design, a stepper-motor powers the table's movement, monitoring its position to ensure a precise forward registration on every cycle.

Digital Slide-Table ( $4,000 )

The ultimate in control, the table's motion is controlled by a programmable PLC driving a highly precise linear actuator. 

Giving you complete control over the table's ramp speed, stop position and cycle repeat, this system can gang-stamp a 1-up die multiple times across the part. ie : feed, stamp, feed, stamp, feed, stamp, etc.

Digital Foil Feed ( $2,500 )

The foil feed can be upgraded to a stepper-motor system that pulls the foil to a digitally-set length and/or precisely stops on a registration mark.

When stamping regular foil, simply measure the foil pull length, and enter the number into a digital controller.  The stepping motor then counts steps until the desired length has been met.

When stamping heat transfers or hologram foils that use a registration mark, the foil advance is controlled by the supplemental photo-electric sensor.  The sensor monitors the foil and stops when it senses the registration mark.

The M can be equipped with a variety of chases to either match or improve on your existing die system.

Part Fixtures

It is vital that your part be correctly supported and positioned when stamping.  Malahide is able to produce a wide variety of part fixtures to ensure print accuracy.

Ancillary Synchronization ( $500 )

The M is able to be triggered by an ancillary controller, like a robot feed or a conveyor belt's part sensor.  The ancillary synchronization upgrade simplifies the integration process by pre-wiring the machine to be activated by a supplied 24 V pulse.

CE Compliance ( $2,500 )

Machines sold into Europe require an electrical and control system upgrade to comply with the CE safety regimen.  The process includes equipping the M-Series with a 220 power transfer, a modified control system, additional guarding and guard sensors.
