Air conditioning appliances use pad-printed steel plates

Pad printing steel plates are the core gravure printing consumables for precision marking of air conditioning unit components. They are suitable for a wide range of curved surfaces, concave and convex shapes, and small plastic/metal parts of air conditioners. As screen printing cannot complete the printing of small characters and curved parts, pad printing steel plates have become a standard equipment on air conditioning production lines. Core adaptability advantage 1. Compatibility with irregular surfaces: The silicone rubber head, when paired with steel plates, enables printing on curved air conditioning buttons, circular arc panels, round knobs, and curved plastic shells of external units; 2. Micron-level fine characters: Capable of printing 0.15mm thin lines, suitable for small functional icons of air conditioners, parameters, and small safety warning text; 3. Stable wear-resistant mass production: The steel plate has a hardness of over 60HRC, ensuring no edge smearing even after tens of thousands of printing cycles, making it suitable for high-volume production on air conditioning assembly lines; 4. Versatile for multiple materials: compatible with ABS/PC plastic panels for air conditioners, aluminum metal casings, plastic remote controls, and plastic fan components; 5. Ink controllability: The etching groove depth is adjustable from 25 to 50μm, and the printing is resistant to wear, temperature differences caused by air conditioning, and cleaning agents when wiping the markings. II. Components of all air conditioning product categories using pad printing steel plates 1. Indoor unit components – Control panel/touch PC panel: wind speed, cooling/heating, timing, dehumidification icon, brand LOGO, temperature digits, energy efficiency label; – Function buttons, plastic knobs: mode symbols, temperature increase/decrease scales; – Side of the plastic shell of the body: model barcode, 3C certification, warning text; – Air deflector and plastic parts of air outlet: brand name in small print and decorative logo.
