Application The servo-based RS 3480 is designed for multi-colour decoration with UV inks of glass or plastic items at high production speeds; servo drives for all printing movements reduce changeover times. Reliability and speed make the RS 3480 ideal for 24/7 production. Features The RS 3480 is designed for decorating items such as bottles, cosmetic jars etc. The RS 3480 features a rotary indexing ring designed for heavy duty use; the ring has 10 stations, each has a station head with a fixture. The RS 3480 can print onto complex-shaped items that have cross sections with linear, circular and oval elements. An advanced motion controller synchronises the print movements of four servo-driven axes in each printing station: print head (screen and squeegee), screen, squeegee, and fixture. The synchronised movements of these axes during printing ensure that a squeegee edge stays in contact with the printing area while the squeegee follows the cross‑section contour of the printing area. One-pass multi-colour printing onto complex-shaped jars, bottles or drinking glasses is made possible; for example, a wrap-around can be printed onto a square item that has rounded corners.
