Cylindrical Tooling, Software New For Screen Printing

Machines

A screen printing machine manufacturer, Systematic Automation, has introduced a range of cylindrical tools, as well upgraded its PC-based user-interface software. For pricing information on these products, contact the company directly (see the Key Contact Directory).

Cylindrical tooling For cylindrical printing applications, the manufacturer's   series 810-C, F1-C and HLT flat/cylindrical presses can be fitted with a variety of arbor/mandrel fixtures giving these machines added flexibility.

The modular design of this tooling has yielded more than a dozen standard configurations with many more custom configurations possible, according to the firm.

Pictured is the manufacturer's Cylindrical Package #2 (1/2-in. friction drive arbor), which is designed primarily to print single-color applications. It can be upgraded to accommodate multicolor applications requiring manual, automatic or optical registration and inflation.

The arbor-tilt option (#B4) shown, can accommodate tapers up to 20 deg from center. All tooling elements are interchangeable and can be added at any time. Setups are accomplished 'in a matter of minutes.'

Software now has 'advanced' capabilities. The new interface prompts the user through the machine set-up process. Printing parameters, such as print speed, flood speed, UV curing exposure, print stroke length and other job history information is stored and can be recalled for repeating jobs.
