Ballpoint Pen Machine

Operated continuously at 50-60 pcs per min on the Duplex-workstations configuration. Eight hours of focused operation using the batch and use-and-throw techniques yield on an average 24000-28000 finished gc for each operator with one supervisor present. Productivity dips slightly during more complex schedules with multiple formats owing to change-over time; the PLC report logs show actual per-shift numbers.

Stick (use-and-throw), click-retractable, twist-up, gel-ink, and refill / cartridge. Every single variant needs entire tool support at the insertion-mouth vibration-bowl orientation and insertion point – format change need only around 30mins once tool support is ready! Not advisable for hobbyist wooden-barret or fountain-pen installations; we do have separate equipment types suitable for those.

30-60 working days from deposits settled for a bott-specific configuration single setup, plus transit time. Bespoke-tooling or multi-insertion-pen install takes a little longer at 60-90 working days once sign-off of designs. Default Incoterm is FOB-shanghai, transit time is between 14-35 days depending on final yard destination.

Always! As part of its standard commissioning kit, Mass would often add one its field engineers on board for anywhere between 3 and 7 days. This time period is relative to machine setup-, operator staffing- and configuration-batch-number. We invoice the client for engineer plane fare, hotel and local travel; they purchase meal allowances according to their schedule. We can offer remote commissioning at a reduced per-unit price for customers who have their own automation design team.

It is contingent on the six parameters of what we actually going to deploy as per the procurement framework specified earlier – output type, scope of pen, extent of customisation, certification requisition, the extent of spare-parts stocking, scope of training. Domestic India, semi-automatic mass-unit costs just a few hundreds US dollars, export-grade China automation lines across 5-figures with mid-5-figures of US dollar conversion rates depending on multi-up batch size. Send us your factory profile and we will return an itemised, cost-transparent quotation within 24 hours.

Yes. Custom gripper blades, vibration-bowl detail, or insertion tip can be designed, developed, validated for non-standard radius of barrels, premium metal-wall balls for capital units, or advanced cap-management projects. Lead-time increases to the usual 60-90 days, with a sign-off stage for the new tooling design.

Off the shelf build is CE-MD conforming to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, aligned to ISO 12100:2010 risk-assessment protocol, and conforms to the IEC 60204-1 for the electrical cabinet and EN ISO 14118:2018 for unexpected operation prevention. The notified body attestations for country-specific installations (permanent installations within the EU) can be had as optional project value-add. ISO 9001:2015 standards also provide group-wide compliance.

Cam-driven means one physical motor drives all workplaces via a precise cam profile – timing between stations is physically locked together by geometry; time can never shift, even as visibility of a component in the feed peters out, till the completed pen is produced. Full-pneumatic means each station is individually powered by compressed air; timing is by variable flow of that air into the cylinder, dependent on exact sealing conditions; these are constantly degrading in a non-linear fashion, starving for perhaps twenty pens before recovering and completing the cycle. Mass uses cam drive for primary timing as above; we use Airtac H2 series Taiwan pneumatics only for terminal-force press stations, where pneumatic actually wins.

Equivalent two-year full-machine warranty (parts plus labour, exclusive of grinding or replacement of ink-required vibration-bowl liners, or wear seals in the Applicant stations). Five working-day global SLA on spare parts from our Zhangjiagang Logistics Park stockyard—Mass authorizes all components to be shipped by DHL or FedEx within five working days of bank transfer receipt, destined to arrive at point-of-label inside seven to ten days. 24-hour global engineering telephone support for any problem or question – whatever the time zone.

Mass is the manufacturer; Zhangjiagang Mass Technology Co.,Ltd is our full official name, over twenty years making pen-filling machinery to twenty-something countries; please visit the Factories page on our website. Visits are by appointment, and we will schedule transport from Shanghai PVG and an English-speaking capacity audience for your company to see our factory, receive a semi-structured factory tour, and see the 395-series ballpoint pen assembly machines on the shop floor playing out your configuration. Many buyers even request a virtual walk-through to the cell to route-buy a technology based on the technical scope.
