The M is a new twist on Malahide's core technology, the E-Series all-electric print-head.  Whereas on other E-Series machines we use the print head to pull inward, the M-Series re-design presses downwards.  Enabling the machine to approach parts from a new direction, this difference enables Malahide to now serve applications that we could not previously address.

Delivering 5 tons of pressure across a 9 x 12" maximum print area, the M-Series uses no compressed air in it's operation.  With no air required, the machine instantly becomes simpler to deploy, less expensive to power and significantly quieter when in operation.  Maintenance requirements are also reduced because our all-electric platform eliminates entire classes of pneumatic components that can go wrong, such as valves, seals and hoses.  Simplifying both initial setup and long-term maintenance, our electric design = operational cost savings throughout the machine's whole working life.

The innovations in design go much deeper however.  The M has been built with flexibility in mind through features like : 

• I-Beam frame construction allows the machine to be stretched wide or made taller to suit the application
     

• The lack of a back column enables the press to handle extra-long parts, straddle a conveyor, or have a web-product running through it.
   

• Robotic feeders are welcomed by a wide-open front or back.
   

• The lack of a back column eliminates considerations of throat 'depth'.

Print Engine :

One central CAM mechanism supplies mechanical power to the print head.  Smooth and precise, all bearings and parts are purposefully oversized to ensure long life and durability. The M generates up to 5 tons of pressure, more than sufficient to stamp broad coverage artwork and fine details.

The CAM mechanism powers the print head, pushing it down from all four corners.  This results in an even dispersion of pressure.  2 heaters ensure even heating, and 4 levelling screws on the top of the head allow for fine adjustment. 

A central pivot allows one to rotate the head 5 degrees each way for fine alignment.

Control Box :

An intuitive set of controls help the M to be easy to understand and operate.

Run

In semi-automatic operation, the press is activated by two hand switches

In fully automatic mode, the press is activated by a synchronization signal sent to it by the external feeding system.

Foil Feed :

The foil feeds into the machine, beneath the print head, and towards the rear where it is threaded through the drive system.

The foil advance is adjusted by means of a crank located within the upper case. One simply unlocks a nut, and then turns a knob to adjust the ribbon pull from 1" ~ 10".

Auto-Table :

The auto-sliding table is a whisper-quiet, smooth and fast mechanism.

4 Thompson bearings glide on precision manufactured rails.  Over-feeding against a gas spring stop, precise forward registration is guaranteed on every cycle.

The ' M ' Stands for Masterpiece!

The M-Series delivers on Malahide's goal of continually advancing our technology to deliver exciting products for hot stamp industry professionals.
