A hot stamping machine is provided, including a machine table, a processing platform, a hot stamping device and a license plate conveying device, wherein the hot stamping device includes an upper heating plate, a single-rod cylinder, a carbon ribbon and a carbon ribbon conveying mechanism; two groups of lifting mechanisms are used for driving lifting plates to move in the perpendicular direction, tops of two groups of grabbing devices are connected, and tin grabbing device moving mechanisms are used for driving the grabbing devices to move linearly between the two groups of lifting plates and the processing platform up and down and to the left and the right. Compared with an existing rolling hot stamping machine, the hot stamping machine does not require manual involvement in feeding and discharging, shortens the time for hot stamping one license plate by two-thirds, and has a high hot stamping efficiency.

A compact, portable in-line heat press machine that holds the upper heated platen horizontal and laterally aligned with the lower platen is provided. The lower frame has front and rear pivot joints on each side of such frame to accommodate linkage arms pivotally attached to it and the upper frames which has similar pivot joints. As such the upper heated platen is lifted up and straight back with respect to the lower platen assembly which completely clears the lower platen for unobstructed loading/unloading of lower platen while keeping the upper platen assembly in a horizontal position. When the upper platen is moved into the lower position, a locking mechanism affixes the upper and lower platen assemblies so that the platen actuators can cause a linear movement between them thus causing a pressing action.

A heat press includes a base, a handle, a heater arm, a controller, a lower platen, and an upper platen. The handle is pivotally coupled to the base. The heater arm is pivotally coupled to the base. The controller is pivotally coupled to the handle and the heater arm such that the controller pivots from a first position to a second position during a pivotal movement of the handle from an open position to a closed position. The lower platen is connected to base. The upper platen is connected to the heater arm. A surface of the upper platen is separated from a surface of the lower platen in the open position. The surface of the upper platen is in contact with the surface of the lower platen in the closed position.

A heat press includes a clutch and a linkage that moves the upper platen relative to the lower platen from a first position to a second position. The distance between the upper and lower platen is less in the second position than in the first position. The clutch is coupled to the linkage and mounted to the upper platen. The clutch is configured to adjust the distance between the upper and lower platens in the second position in response to movement of the upper platen from the first position to the second position being impeded by a work piece positioned between the lower platen and the upper platen.

In an aspect, a system and method for assembling a semiconductor device on a receiving surface of a destination substrate is disclosed. In another aspect, a system and method for assembling a semiconductor device on a destination substrate with topographic features is disclosed. In another aspect, a gravity-assisted separation system and method for printing semiconductor device is disclosed. In another aspect, various features of a transfer device for printing semiconductor devices are disclosed.

A precision positioning device of a unit-type die cutting & hot stamping machine includes a positioning element on an input end of a first imprinting element and a positioning element on an output end of each imprinting element. Two neighboring positioning elements accomplish the positioning between the two positioning elements together. Each positioning element is constituted by a positioning assembly installed symmetrically on each end of the imprinting element. The positioning assembly includes a positioning rod which can rotate against an installation shaft. Each positioning rod includes a positioning block which is provided with a reference surface. A rear side of the gripper is provided with a reference matching surface. By the positioning elements, the accuracy in the art of die cutting & hot stamping can be assured when the machine is performing a multiple-working-position procedure.

A hot foil stamping press (10) comprises a platen press (16), with a supporting plate (22) comprising a base plate (26) and a compensating plate (28) being rotatably attached to the base plate (26) for switching between an operating position and a makeready position and a hook element (38) comprising a base part and a top part being arranged at an angle relative to the base part. The hook element (38) is rotatably attached to a door (30) of the platen press (16) by a fixation axle for switching between a releasing position and a securing position of the hook element, wherein the top part retains the compensating plate (28) in its makeready position when the hook element (38) is in its securing position.

Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of jigs (broadly, inserts) for use when sublimation printing on socks, production ready sublimation printable socks with preinstalled jigs therein, and related systems and methods. In an exemplary embodiment, a jig includes an upper portion and a lower portion. A first transition or rounded shoulder portion is along a first side of the jig between the upper portion and the lower portion. A second transition or rounded shoulder portion is along a second side of the jig between the upper portion and the lower portion.

The present disclosure relates to a heat press, especially knee lever-transfer press with at least one socket, with at least one base plate and with at least one heatable counter plate pivotable towards the base plate, wherein the knee lever-transfer press further has a control unit, by which the knee lever-transfer press is controllable in an open-loop manner and/or closed-loop manner and wherein the control unit constitutes a first modular unit of the knee lever-transfer press and wherein the socket constitutes at least one second modular unit, and the base plate and the counter plate constitute at least one third modular unit and wherein at least the first modular unit and the second modular unit and/or the third modular unit are separable from each other and/or are formed to be replaceable for functional comparable modular units.

The invention relates to a method for producing a support body in a card format, with a graphic customization, that has a surface finishing effect that is more or less smooth, rough, mirrored or matte on the support body. The method includes supplying a support body having a layer of material configured to allow a marking by punching or lamination. The layer is exposed on the main external face and the surface finishing effect is equivalent to that obtained by a step of marking or lamination while not including a step of depositing varnish.
