Stamping is a high-pressure process in which ink is transferred to the workpiece via fixed punches or stamps with movable characters. The print image is determined by the shape of the stamp surface. When using electrically, pneumatically or mechanically driven stamping systems with freely selectable predominantly fixed labels, a stamp picks up ink from a saturated ink pad first. Thereafter, the stamp is moved to the surface in order to create the printed image. Due to the flat shape, stamps are ...
Stamping is a high-pressure process in which ink is transferred to the workpiece via fixed punches or stamps with movable characters. The print image is determined by the shape of the stamp surface. When using electrically, pneumatically or mechanically driven stamping systems with freely selectable predominantly fixed labels, a stamp picks up ink from a saturated ink pad first. Thereafter, the stamp is moved to the surface in order to create the printed image. Due to the flat shape, stamps are only suitable for printing on flat surfaces and typically used for monochrome marking of still objects. Stamping systems offer a particularly simple and cost-effective technique that can be used flexible due to exchangeable stamps. They allow markings on flat, sufficiently hard and smooth surfaces made of a wide variety of materials such as plastic, metal or ceramics as well as painted surfaces. Typical areas of application are markings of workpieces differentiated into good and bad parts, the automatic application of test codes to assemblies, test parts or packages, the application of date specifications, the marking of printed circuit boards or the application of solder resist. Applications can be found in a variety of industries.
