Questions & Answers

Q: Does the Sabre Quartz Flash Unit require a sync cable to run on my press?
A: No. While it connects directly to Workhorse OS on Sabre and Freedom Express presses, it also features an integrated photocell optical sensor that automatically detects when a platen moves into place, enabling cable-free operation on virtually any press.

Q: How does the 3-zone heat control save power?
A: The 3-zone control lets you turn off unused quartz elements when printing smaller graphics, left-chest logos, or neck tags, concentrating heat only where ink is applied.

Q: Can I easily move the flash unit between different print heads?
A: Yes. The unit features an adjustable-height, smooth-gliding frame designed specifically for quick movement between print heads during job setups.

Q: Where can I see a live demo or pick up the Sabre Quartz Flash Unit in person?
A: You can schedule a demonstration or arrange regional equipment pickup at Lawson Workhorse Group facilities in St. Louis, MO or Marietta, GA.

Description

The Workhorse Sabre Quartz Flash Unit is a high-speed, instant-on quartz flash curing system designed specifically for Workhorse’s Sabre and Freedom Express line of automatic screen printing presses. Built for high-volume textile print shops in St. Louis, Atlanta, and across North America, this "Plug-N-Go" flash unit features three independently controlled heat zones to accurately target distinct areas of the substrate without wasting power. Equipped with Workhorse OS integration, the press automatically detects the flash unit’s location upon plug-in. An integrated photocell optical sensor allows seamless cable-free operation on any press, ensuring rapid, consistent flash curing across fast-indexing production runs.
