Ordinance Pad Printing System
DEFENSE INDUSTRY
This pad printing system consists of two G2-150 based printers, outfitted with tooling and related accessories, for the purpose of printing military ordinance casings, which are cylindrical in shape.
The first printer, pictured at right, features a standard 150mm G2-150 inking kit, a servo-driven part transport system and automatic pad tape-off unit. This printer is used to mark the bottom of the part, and is hand loaded and unloaded by the operator.

The second pad printing system, shown in close-up at right, consists of a G2-150 print head with a dual 60mm transverse inking kit and matching dual bar pads. The fixture tooling for the ordinance casing is a servo-driven rotating fixture, which works in tandem with the bar pads to allow a 360-degree stripe to be printed around the circumference of the part. This printer also includes a printing pad tape-off unit.

Both machines perform all printing and indexing functions automatically; the operator is only required to load and unload casing.
This image shows a detail of the automatic pad tape-off unit from the first system.
