Abstract
A device 300 for printing a succession of sheets, includes a platen press 310 for depositing colored or metalized film on each sheet by stamping between a stationary platen 320 and a movable platen 330. A heating element 340 brings a stamping tool integral with the stationary platen 320 to a given temperature for a stamping operation. The heating element 340 is displaced between an operating position between the stationary platen 320 and each stamping tool associated with that platen 320, and a maintenance position in which the heating element is outside the platen press 310.
Claims18
A device for printing a succession of elements in the form of sheets, comprising:
- a platen press configured for depositing a colored or metalized film coming from at least one stamping foil on each sheet;
- the platen press comprising a first platen and an opposing movable platen movable toward and away from the first platen;
- at least one stamping tool on the first platen;
- a heating element located and configured for bringing the stamping tool to a temperature selected so that a stamping operation takes place in a hot environment within the platen press;
- and
- a mounting arrangement configured and operable to hold the heating element in an operating position in which the heating element is placed between the first platen and the at least one stamping tool on the first platen, and to move the heating element to a maintenance position in which the heating element is arranged outside the platen press.
