Heat Transfer Foil

Technology Highlights

The main transcription methods for general transcription foil consist of the following three varieties.

Roll type heat transfer machine

  • Overview
The part (transferred material) is fixtured on a table using a locating jig. Using a silicon roll, the heat transfer foil is heated and pressed against the part. The transfer foil is released as the table moves forward horizontally, leaving the graphic ink layers on the part. In addition, the transfer machine has a 3-axis servo motor with micro-controller for rotating roller for large molded parts such as air conditioners.

  • Key features
Flat parts: Transfer to one surface of panel, cabinet, etc. Transfer to cylindrical parts and curved surfaces also made possible by use of rotation jigs.

Up-down type heat transfer machine

  • Overview
In this system, The silicon rubber attached to a heating plate moves downward and presses the heat transfer foil against the part. The graphic ink layers are transferred through heat and pressurization. By using metal stamping in place of silicon rubber, hot-stamping is performed.

  • Key features
Flat products / Flat surface on products

Vacuum press transfer machine

  • Overview
A part is located on table overtop of suction (vacuum) openings incorporated into the base. The heat transfer foil is held in position by vacuum pressure and a silicon rubber roller is applied against the part. Heated air is blown from above to inflate the silicon rubber, applying pressure and transferring the graphics onto the part.

  • Key features
 Capability to transfer to 3D curved surfaces
