Available Configurations and
Process Options
The P1/2 platform can be configured for either heat transfer or hot stamping applications depending on production requirements.
Hot Stamping (RL)
- Foil-based decoration process
- Timer-controlled foil advance
- Suitable for single-color, metallic, or durable markings
- Simplified indexing system
Note: Hot stamping-only machines cannot be used for heat transfer.
Heat Transfer (HT)
- Multicolor image transfer capability
- Photoelectric eye registration for accurate placement
- Precision film indexing system
- Suitable for detailed graphics and multi-color applications
Note: Heat transfer machines can also perform hot stamping.
Built for Flexible Production
The compact frame design allows the P1/2 to be used as:
- Bench-top press
- Standalone workstation
- Integrated into automated systems
- Robotic or conveyor-based production lines
The adjustable daylight and work surface simplify setup and tooling changes across different applications.
Tooling and Automation Integration
The P1/2 supports integration with:
- Custom tooling and dies
- Nesting fixtures and alignment systems
- Rotary index tables and slide tables
- Pick-and-place systems
- Vision inspection and auto-eject systems
Hastings can design complete automation systems or integrate this press into existing production lines.
