Semi-Auto Doming Machine
Best for: Sample testing, small nameplate batches, simple flat plates, flexible orders and lower-budget production.
- Fast setup
- Lower initial cost
- Manual loading
Produce durable resin domed nameplates for equipment tags, product identification, control panels and brand plates. Match the machine by layout, volume, surface shape and use environment before purchase.





| Requirement | Options / Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
|
Nameplate Material |
Aluminum, stainless steel, PC, PET, PVC, acrylic, ABS | Surface should be clean, dry and tested for resin adhesion before production. |
|
Surface Finish |
Printed, coated, brushed metal, laser marked or film-laminated | Different inks and coatings may affect adhesion, clarity and final appearance. |
|
Shape / Layout |
Regular sheets, holes, cutouts, mixed shapes or free placement | Regular sheets suit 3-axis automation; mixed placement or holes may need CCD vision alignment. |
|
Production Volume |
Samples, small batches, repeat orders or high-volume sheets | For output planning, stable edges, adhesion and repeat layout matter more than raw speed, especially on metal or coated substrates. |
|
Resin Type |
Epoxy resin or polyurethane resin | Choose by hardness, flexibility, UV exposure and use environment. |
|
Dome Height |
Usually 0.5 mm – 4 mm, adjusted by size and edge design | Higher domes require stable edge control and the right resin viscosity. |
|
Use Environment |
Indoor equipment, appliances, outdoor machinery or branding parts | Outdoor or flexible applications usually require polyurethane resin and sample aging checks. |

Best for: Sample testing, small nameplate batches, simple flat plates, flexible orders and lower-budget production.

Best for: Regular nameplate sheets, repeat orders, stable plate sizes and medium-to-high volume production.

Best for: free placement, print shift or mixed positions that cannot be controlled with repeat sheets or fixtures; holes and cutouts alone are not enough reason.
| Nameplate Production Situation | First Decision Trigger | Recommended Setup | Resin Starting Point | Why It Fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samples / Small Batches | Changing sizes, materials or finishes | PJ180 Semi-Auto | Epoxy or PU after adhesion testing | Flexible testing before fixtures are finalized |
| Stable Regular Sheets | Repeat positions and stable nameplate size | Desktop 3-Axis or DJ771 by sheet size, space and output target | Epoxy or PU by environment | Saved paths and repeatable loading |
| Uncontrolled Placement Variation | Position varies despite a practical fixture or sheet layout | SJ4060 CCD Vision-Guided | Epoxy or PU by environment | Camera correction addresses the actual alignment risk |
| Outdoor / Cleaning Exposure | UV, heat, moisture or cleaners | Choose machine by layout; validate resin separately | Test PU and the final printed surface first | Environment changes resin choice, not positioning method |

Resin doming can be used on many nameplate substrates, including aluminum, stainless steel, PC, PET, PVC, acrylic, ABS and coated films. The key is surface compatibility. Different inks, coatings and metal finishes can affect resin adhesion and clarity, so we recommend testing the actual nameplate material before mass production.
Epoxy is a practical starting point for rigid indoor nameplates that need a hard, clear surface. For flexible or environmentally exposed nameplates, test a suitable polyurethane formulation first. The final choice depends on the substrate, print or coating, dome geometry and actual UV, moisture, heat and handling conditions.
Overflow is usually caused by too much resin, low viscosity, insufficient edge distance, unstable fixtures or an inaccurate dispensing path. To reduce overflow, control the resin volume, set a safe path offset, keep the nameplate level and test holes or cutouts before production. CCD vision can help when placement is irregular or the sheet layout changes often.
Use semi-auto for samples and changing materials. Use desktop 3-axis or DJ771 for stable regular sheets. Holes and cutouts do not automatically require CCD; use SJ4060 when free placement, print shift or mixed positions remain variable after a practical fixture is tested.
