The object of this invention is to transfer, fix and polish images produced by: toner laser printers or inkjet printers, flexographic technology, silkscreen technology, offset technology, printed on reel support (A), on the plastic or metal surface of three-dimensional objects (16), thanks to which it is possible to detach images from the reel support (A) and subsequently transfer them to the surface of said plastic or metal objects (16) by a thermomechanical (1, 10) action.

A cast and cure system which can be implemented by UV lacquer and which enables application of various patterns and sheathing on printed materials in areas such as flexible packaging, printing, serigraphy, label printing and offset tin printing. The system includes at least one UV cassette which enables the UV lacquer to pass under the UV light together with the belt and therefore curing the UV lacquer. The system relates to a micro embossing unit with belt-which has at least one cooler cylinder which cools the film coming out of the UV cassette, at least one cylinder which enables the film to be carried during the sheathing and at least one tension control system which automatically adjusts the tension of the cylinders.

The release film transfer printing equipment is provided. The release film transfer printing equipment includes a machine, a platform, a transfer device and a downward pressing device. The machine has a control panel. The platform is disposed above the machine, and the platform includes a vacuum pump electrically connected to the control panel. The transfer device includes a mold and a release film fixing frame. The mold is disposed above the platform, and the mold includes a plurality of air holes. The release film fixing frame is connected to a periphery of the platform. The downward pressing device is disposed above the transfer device, and the downward pressing device includes a hydraulic cylinder and a downward pressing platform. The hydraulic cylinder is electrically connected to the control panel, and the downward pressing platform is connected to the hydraulic cylinder by a power rod.

A tube marking device includes a delivery unit having operating rollers for delivering a tube. A thermal press printing unit includes a first heating device and a press printing roller which are actuated by a first lift cylinder to move vertically. A first transmission printing sheet is mounted to a first rotary disc, carries a plurality of marks thereon, and is moved by an operating unit. Two adjacent marks are continuous to each other or have a spacing therebetween smaller than 50 cm. A control unit is electrically connected to the delivery unit, the thermal press printing unit, the first rotary disc, and the operating unit. The delivery unit and the operating unit respectively move the tube and the first transmission printing sheet. The thermal press printing unit transmissions the plurality of marks of the first transmission printing sheet onto an outer periphery of the tube.

A hot foil stamping press has a pressing system for pressing a foil onto a sheet, a blow unit which is positioned at a distance to the pressing system for directing a stream of gas between the sheet and the foil. The stream of gas to detaches the foil from the sheet after each stamping cycle. A gripper bar is arranged between the blow unit and the pressing system for gripping the sheet. A flow guiding element is arranged between the blow unit and the pressing system, preferably on the gripper bar, for directing the gas from the blow unit between the sheet and the foil. Said element avoids the losses in the stream of gas due to the aperture that exist between the grippers in a typical gripper bar.

A holographic foil supplying device for a hot foil stamping machine has a reel (26) for holographic foil (20), an advancement system (24) for advancing the holographic foil (20) along a movement path (P) in a feeding direction (F) and a frame (22) supporting the reel (26) and the advancement system (24), wherein the frame (22) comprises a mount (30) for mounting the holographic foil supplying device (18) to the hot foil stamping machine.

Further, a hot foil stamping machine is shown.

A hot foil stamping press with a pressing table (10) on which a sheet can be advanced, a pressing system (20) for pressing a foil (14) onto the sheet, a guiding system (18) for guiding the foil (14) over the sheet, the guiding system (18) defining a foil transportation path which extends across the path along which the sheet is being advanced, a holder (11) for receiving a supply (12) of foil, and a discarding system (22) for the used foil, the holder being arranged at an operator side of the press.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an embossed-in-register flooring material and a flooring material manufactured using the method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an embossed-in-register flooring material including a step of manufacturing an embossed-in-register PVC transparent film and a step of laminating the embossed-in-register PVC transparent film on the upper surface of a bottom layer and a flooring material manufactured using the method. The method of the present invention may achieve process simplification by including these steps.

A device for driving a stamping foil over a path through a stamping machine is disclosed herein. The driving device comprises two foil-introduction chain-like elements and a drive member coupled to the foil-introduction chain-like elements for driving the foil-introduction chain-like elements notably through a platen press of a stamping machine. The driving device further comprises at least one first load-measurement device comprising a first detector configured to measure a parameter indicative of the load applied by the drive member for driving the foil-introduction chain-like elements in a first direction, the at least one first load-measurement device being connected to a stamping-machine control unit configured to stop the driving by the drive member when the parameter indicative of the load applied by the drive member and measured by the first detector crosses a threshold.

A graphic arts support assembly is operable to be used with a graphic arts plate assembly in a press. The graphic arts support assembly and the plate assembly are configured for removable association with a lift mechanism including a shiftable lift element. The support assembly includes a graphic arts magnetic support structure operable to removably support the graphic arts plate assembly. The magnetic support structure includes a support plate, a magnet fixed relative to the plate, and an alignment element projecting from the support plate. The support assembly is operable to be mounted on the lift mechanism so that the lift element is aligned with a lift opening of the support plate, with the lift element shiftable through the lift opening to locate at least part of the graphic arts plate assembly away from the support plate.
