Features

  • Servo-Driven Indexing: Ensures smooth, consistent, and quiet pallet rotation at output speeds up to 750 pieces per hour.
  • Tool-Free Adjustment System: Calibrated tool-less controls for squeegee and floodbar stroke lengths, angles, and print/flood speeds.
  • Precision Micro-Registration: Front and rear micro-registration with visual reference guides enables fast, pinpoint multi-color screen alignment.
  • Tri-Loc System Compatibility: Fully compatible with M&R Tri-Loc and Tri-Sync registration systems to streamline screen loading.
  • Solid Aluminum Rubber-Coated Pallets: Heat-managing rubber-coated platens reduce flash cure heat retention and protect substrate registration.
  • Integrated Safety & Sensors: Built-in optical no-shirt detector, skip foot pedal, and pneumatic frame locks prevent dry prints and frame movement.
