Description :

The E4-NB automates the high volume hot stamping of flat plastic components like name badges, frames or small signs.  Running at a top speed of 3,600 impressions per hour, the E4-NB stamps single or multi-colour logos with precision.

Parts begin their journey through the E4-NB by being stacked into a vertical column.  From the bottom of the stack, a shuttle grabs the part and steps it forward to run beneath a set of guide tracks.

The part is stepped forward until pushed under the print head.  Here, the individual badge is registered to its' top-left corner and then hot stamped.

During the next cycle, the part is pushed away from the print head, and then discharged onto an incremental conveyor belt.  They can now be restacked into trays for additional colour applications, engraved, or packaged.

A set of self-centering tracks allows the operator to adjust the tracks for different part sizes.  Forward and backward adjustments allow for differences in the part length.

Minimum Part Size :   1" x 1" x 1/8" thick
Maximum Part Size :  4" x 6" x 1/4" thick

Multi-colour designs can be produced by running the parts through a second or third time for each additional colour. 

The E4-NB is uniquely able to hot stamp tightly registered, multi-colour graphics thanks to a unique registration system that registers each badge to it's own corner.  The benefit of this system is that each badge is individually registered to itself.  The result is that registration stays constant, even if parts vary in size from one to another.

Die Making :

The E4-NB is equipped with Malahide's Snap Chase System ( See: Chases ).  This spring-loaded clip accepts 11 Pt. magnesium dies cut to 2 X 3".

Print Engine :

One central CAM mechanism supplies mechanical power to the entire machine. Smooth and precise, all bearings and parts are purposefully oversized to ensure long life and durability. The E4-NB generates up to 8 tons of pressure, more than sufficient power to produce dazzling foil stamped graphics.

An all-electric machine, the E4-NB uses an electric motor as its power source, not pneumatics like most other hot stamping machines.  This means that with the E4-NB, you don't need a high-end air compressor, plus you eliminate 100% of the many inherent issues of pneumatic equipment.  Furthermore, the E4-NB runs cleanly and quietly, making it suitable for use in a home or office setting.

Print Head :

A flip over printhead reveals a standard 2 X 3" Snap Chase. The top of the chase is equipped with a levelling screw at each corner that enables you to adjust for a level print. The print head is pulled down by all four corners, further ensuring that all 5 tons of pressure are evenly distributed throughout the impression area.

Control Box :

The control Box of the E4-PK features the following electronic controls:

• Analogue heat control

• Digital batch counter with auto shut-off

• Motor speed control

• Run button

• Stop button

• Reverse button

• Jog / Set-up button

• Power switch

Foil Feed :

The E4-NB's standard foil feed accepts foil rolls up to 1,000 feet long, wound on a 1" core.

It's a Great Machine!

The E4-NB has been designed for the specific purpose of automating medium to long runs of flat plastic parts. Designed with the professional in mind, most experienced operators are able to run the machine competently with a minimal amount of training.  Able to justify it's purchase price on production efficiencies alone, the E4-NB is the ideal solution to long-run hot stamping jobs.
