Application solution
CCD Vision Cup Heat Transfer Solution
An automated cup-decoration route that combines indexed handling, CCD vision positioning, heat transfer and finished-part discharge.
Solution overview
Production requirements
Cup graphics must be transferred at a repeatable position even when incoming parts have orientation variation. The solution uses vision feedback before the transfer station.
Process
- 01
Feed cups into the indexed handling path.
- 02
Acquire the cup position with the CCD vision unit.
- 03
Correct the cup orientation at the positioning station.
- 04
Apply heat transfer film with the heated silicone roller.
- 05
Release and discharge the decorated cup.

Checks before the first article
- Confirm the cup fixture, datum and free movement through each indexed station before automatic operation.
- Check that the vision feature remains visible under normal cup reflection and position variation.
- Trace the film through unwinding, registration, roller contact and rewinding with stable tension.
Selection notes
Configuration details
- Vision feasibility depends on the cup feature, surface reflection and required registration accuracy.
- Fixture design, transfer film and process settings depend on the cup and artwork.
- Output depends on the cup, process and number of stations.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why is CCD vision used?
It provides position feedback so the cup can be rotated to the required print orientation before transfer.
Can different cups use the same line?
Changeover can be evaluated after cup geometry, fixture, vision feature and film requirements are compared.
Is a sample test required?
Yes. A sample test is used to confirm vision contrast, fixture stability and transfer quality.
