Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fully automatic laser engraving pad printing device, in particular to a fully automatic laser engraving pad printing device for the front and back surfaces of a watch case. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of watch cases, it is necessary to perform laser engraving on the front and back sides, and after laser engraving, it is also necessary to perform pad printing on the front and back sides. The traditional production method is that the operator takes out a product from the turntable in the unprocessed area, and places it steadily on the laser engraving tooling to fix it. Before placing the product, the cleanliness of the tooling must be confirmed. Then, the bottom of the product is facing down, and the product is pressed with both hands to confirm that the product is clamped in place. Then, the front side of the product is laser engraved by the laser engraving machine. After the laser engraving is completed, the operator takes out the product and puts it back on the turntable, and then gives it to the operator of the next process to perform laser engraving on the back side of the product. After the laser engraving on the front and back sides is completed, the next operator takes the product out of the turntable and puts it into the pad printing tooling for pad printing. This traditional operation not only has low production efficiency and high labor costs, but also the production quality of the product will be affected by the operator.
