Cliché Laser Machine – Making Clichés for tampon printing machines

With the MetaQuip cliche laser machine and cliche plates from TTN laser engraves your own pad printing clichés quickly, flexibly and cost-effectively. MetaQuip, in collaboration with Tampo Techniek Nederland BV (TTN), has created a cliche laser machine with which you can make your own cliches.

Laser engraving of Clichés

This consists of a cliché laser machine and associated cliché material that are perfectly matched, making it very easy to quickly make quality clichés for pad printing applications. This is particularly interesting for printers that print many different print jobs in smaller series, such as promotional item printers. 

Cliché Laser Machine perfect for many different print jobs and small series

The MetaQuip Cliché laser machine is especially suitable for printers that print many different print jobs in smaller series, such as promotional item printers. The MetaQuip Cliché laser machine is optimized for YL50 Laser engravable cliché aluminum plates supplied by TTN Tampo Techniek Nederland BV.

Make your own cliché plates quickly, easily and cleanly

It is no longer necessary to make your own films. No more exposure to UV radiation. No more washing or etching. Simple adjustment of the cliché depth by adjusting the laser power. Lifespan of the printing plates is approximately 30,000 impressions.

Also for laser engraving of promotional gifts

This machine can also be used for engraving other metals or promotional materials (such as pens). MetaQuip cliché laser machines have a long service life, are reliable and engrave metals, mirrors and a number of plastics quickly, with high precision and resolution. At a closed cabinet model cliché laser engraving machine the engraving laser is only active when the door is completely closed. This makes it possible to work safely with this machine without laser safety glasses. Maximum laser safety!

Laser power & work surface

MetaQuip supplies the cliché laser engraving machine with a laser power of 20 Watt as standard. This cliché laser engraving machine comes with two lenses, one that gives you a work surface of 100 x 100mm and one for a work surface of 200 x 200mm. With the larger work surface, the laser power is projected over a larger area, so that the laser power per unit area is lower. We are happy to help you choose the right power and work surface for your application.

Operation of the cliché laser machine

The cliché laser consists of a table in which the laser source, complete control and industrial computer are located. This is connected via an optical fiber to the cliché laser head that is placed on the tripod. With this tripod the correct focus length can be set (the distance between the lens and the workpiece). The fiber laser head and tripod are completely placed in a protective cabinet that meets the laser safety requirements. The laser software is already installed on the integrated industrial computer.

No moving parts – long life

In the laser head is an XY mirror that scans the surface with a high frequency. This XY mirror is completely sealed off from the outside world and is the only moving part in this machine. This guarantees the high reliability and long life of this machine.

Cliché laser machines with high precision and resolution

Cliché lasers operate at a wavelength of 1064nm. This wavelength is perfectly suitable for engraving (precious) metals, aluminum and stainless steel. The used wavelength of 1064nm is 10x smaller than the 10.6um of a CO2 laser. As a result, the cliché laser machine has a much smaller spot size than a CO2 laser, so that even the finest details can be effortlessly engraved with extremely high precision and resolution.

User-friendly software

MetaQuip cliché laser machines are easy to operate. With the included software it is child's play to quickly apply an engraving to your workpiece. With this software you can create your own design, enter text or import a vector design (logo) from other design packages such as Solidworks, Adobe Illustrator or other (vector) design programs. The software supports importing graphic image formats such as Coreldraw, AutoCAD, Photoshop and AI, PLT, PCX, DXF, BMP, SHX or TTF. This allows you to easily make an engraving of an image or photo. A Dutch manual is supplied with the laser software.

Maintenance free

Cliché laser engraving machines are virtually maintenance-free. In combination with the long life and high engraving speed, this type of machine is extremely suitable for use in almost any working environment. When working with cliché lasers, toxic gases and small (metal) dust particles may be released, depending on the material to be engraved. It is better not to inhale them for health. MetaQuip therefore supplies all its cliché lasers including industrial air extraction. In addition to preventing possible health problems, the extraction also prevents these (electrically conductive) dust particles from polluting your cliché laser, which benefits the life of the machine.

Air extraction and filtering

MetaQuip cliché lasers are supplied with an industrial air filter as standard, so that (metal) dust, vapor and gas are immediately extracted and cleaned. Use of good air extraction is recommended at all times! These air filters meet the set guidelines.

CE certification & laser safety

The MetaQuip cliché laser machines comply with all applicable CE European machine guidelines and laser safety standards. The closed cliché lasers are class 3R laser devices. This basically means that the operator and anyone in the same room can never be exposed to high power laser light. As a result, no further protective measures need to be taken, such as wearing certified laser safety glasses to protect the eyes.
