Questions & Answers

Q: Do I need a vacuum pump or glass frame to use the LED-5000 Vertical Slider?
A: No. The LED-5000 Vertical Slide CTS Exposure Unit is engineered completely glass-free and vacuum-free. Because CTS imaging prints directly onto the emulsion, the vertical chamber exposes the screen directly without air pockets or glass reflection.

Q: What screen printing frame sizes fit in the LED-5000 Vertical Slider?
A: Model #2431 accommodates screen frames up to 24" x 31" outer dimension (O.D.), while Model #2536 handles larger screen frames up to 25" x 36" O.D. Custom sizes are available upon request.

Q: Can I use economical diazo or dual-cure emulsions with this CTS unit?
A: Yes. The high-output UV LED array provides sufficient UV intensity to expose fast SBQ photopolymers as well as standard dual-cure and economical diazo emulsions.

Q: Where can I see a live demo or schedule regional pickup for the LED-5000 Vertical Slider?
A: You can schedule a demonstration or arrange regional equipment pickup at Lawson Workhorse Group centers in St. Louis, MO or Marietta, GA.

Description


The Lawson LED-5000 Vertical Slide CTS Exposure Unit is a compact, vertical UV screen exposure system engineered specifically for computer-to-screen (CTS) and wax-produced imaging applications. Designed for commercial screen printing rooms and high-volume textile print shops in St. Louis, MO, Atlanta, GA, and across North America, the LED-5000 Vertical Slider delivers the high-intensity output of a 5,000-watt metal halide lamp using energy-efficient UV LED technology. Operating without glass or vacuum draw-down frames, this unit eliminates static dust, reduces pinholes, and drastically accelerates exposure cycles. Manufactured in the USA, it features a light-absorbing anti-glare interior chamber, an electronic digital countdown timer, standard 120V plug-in wiring, and a 3-year guarantee on its 50,000+ hour UV LED lamps.
