Standard Features
Printheads
Gauged Three Point Micro-registration.
The movement on our registration is a fine thread lead screw design. The movement is adjustable on three points. Front to Back, Side to Side and Rotational. The gauge is designed to be similar to the way your separations line up with each other. The lock on our micro-registration is independent of the movement. That means when you have your screen registered where you want it, it doesn't move when you lock it.
"All Heads Down" feature.
All heads down allows you to print any color from any print head on any pallet. The "All Heads Down" feature is essential when you are using "flash while print" techniques and printing at more than one station at a time. The print heads have a dual adjustable, guided spring tensioning system that provides a smooth lift and lower (of the print head) no matter what size screen you are using. The adjustment is conveniently located for easy use. The guide system doesn't require lubrication.
Side Screen Clamps to provide the maximum in stability.
Side Screen Clamps eliminate your screens from wiggling out of registration during the lift and lower while printing.
Off contact and screen pitch
Adjustments are located on each print head for full control of the screens off contact while staying parallel to the pallets.
Equipment Design and Construction
Double bearing registration locks to ensure the utmost print quality when running multi-color jobs.
Superior Tubular steel
Pallet arms, heavy-duty steel frame and roller bearings to support quick and smooth operation.
