If you run a plastic toy factory and struggle with tiny, uneven printing on minifigure heads, torsos, arms and small building bricks, our dedicated Lego pad printer is built exactly for this job. Many toy manufacturers come to us because ordinary pad printers fail to hold tight registration on those small curved plastic parts, leading to blurred logos, shifting patterns and high reject rates.
This pneumatic pad printer is specially calibrated for ABS toy bricks and minifigure components. We custom-make precision fixtures to lock each lego piece in place, so silicone pads transfer graphics consistently onto curved and irregular surfaces. You can run single color, 2-color up to 4-color printing in one station, ideal for minifigure facial features, body prints, logos and decorative patterns on building blocks.
Key Features
- Pneumatic drive with PLC touchscreen, adjustable pad speed, pressure and stroke.
- Custom CNC jig for Lego minifigure head, torso, limbs and small bricks.
- High precision silicone printing pad, sharp fine lines, no smudge on tiny graphics.
- Rotary worktable optional, allowing operators to load/unload while printing runs.
- Ink cup system reduces ink evaporation, keeps color stable for long batch runs.
- Compact heavy frame, low vibration, stable continuous production.
- Easy plate and pad swap, fast changeover between different artwork.
