The PI-4000 machine is an electronic servomotor driven hot stamping and heat transfer press that can decorate up to an 8 inch by 8 inch platen area with variable pressure ranging from 35 lbs to 4,000 lbs. The servos and computer controllers give the machine precision accuracy, reliability, performance, repeatability, speed, and reduced set up time. Set up has been refined to key pad entries of precision distances, speeds and times. During operation, head stroke lengths can be varied in increments as small as .0001 inch without any mechanical adjustments. Multi-stage upstroke and downstroke speeds are fully user programmable. The basic press comes equipped with plain foil advance and hand triggers. Options include servo label registration devices, turntables, and full automatic loading and unloading equipment. Complete tooling solutions installed and tested are available from Permadur Industries. A revolutionary and unique feature of the PI-4000 is the inclusion of the Permadur Industries Force Sensing Technology. In this mode of operation, the press operates to a pre-defined pressure rather than distance. The pressure is entered through the operator interface and can range from 35 lbs to 4000 lbs. This feature totally eliminates the traditional dependence on uniform parts thickness for high quality hot stamping results. This feature is accomplished by monitoring the servo loops using high speed digital signal processors and constantly controlling the current while monitoring the reflected force applied to the lead screw by the part to be printed.

Since the advent of ISO 9000, companies have been more conscious of process quantification and recording. The PI-12000 allows exact record keeping of all process parameters. Upstroke speeds, dwell times, and print parameters are entered and can be read back in units of inches per minute, milliseconds, and pounds of force. Interfaces are available for most factory floor data logging and communication systems, as well as most popular networks.
