AP-200W UV Exposure Unit for Pad Printing Cliche Making

The AP-200W cliché exposure machine is specifically designed for pad printing steel plate making. It features high-efficiency 200W ultraviolet lamp tubes for uniform exposure, low energy consumption, and easy operation. This unit is ideal for small printing companies, personalized custom studios, and precision pad printing processes.

This cliché exposure unit is suitable for various pad-printing steel plates (0.3–10 mm thick) and polymer plates (water- or alcohol-washable). It comes equipped with a vacuum function for a close fit between the steel plate and film, and offers accurate digital timer control (0–9999 seconds) for both vacuum and exposure time.

We also offer comprehensive support, including technical assistance and recommendations on consumables for your cliché exposure needs.

Introduction

The AP-200W cliché exposure machine is designed for pad printing steel plate making. It adopts high-efficiency 200W ultraviolet lamp tubes. It has the characteristics of uniform exposure, low energy consumption, and easy operation. It is suitable for small printing companies, personalized custom studios, and precision pad printing processes.

Core Features

1. High-efficiency exposure system

  • Equipped with 200W high-power ultraviolet lamp tubes, with a stable spectrum (main peak 365nm), ensuring rapid curing of the steel plate’s photosensitive coating, and adjustable vacuum time & exposure time (usually 1-3 minutes).

2. Compact structure and durability

  • The machine is built with a lightweight sheet-metal frame measuring 800×630×260mm (customizable), saving space and making it easy to move.

  • Equipped with a vacuum worktable, high temperature and scratch resistance, and a load capacity of up to 10 kg.

3. Intelligent control and safety

  • A digital timer (0-9999 seconds) accurately controls vacuum and exposure and supports power-off memory.

  • Safety protection: Uses a mechanical micro switch. When the top cover is opened, the main circuit power is immediately cut off to avoid ultraviolet leakage.

4. Wide compatibility

  • Suitable for all kinds of pad printing steel plates (thickness 0.3-10mm) and polymer plates (such as water-washout / alcohol-washout).
  • Equipped with a vacuum function to ensure that the steel plate fits closely with the film.
