December, 2012 Quick Stencil Tensioning System from QTS
Medway, MA — QTS, Inc. (Quick Ten - sion ing Systems, Inc.) has introduced the Wizard Stencil Stretch Frame Sys- tem, which is designed to save time, costs, shipping, and waste over the old labor-intensive industry method of as-
sembling custom cast aluminum or tu- bular frames and stencil foils. Suitable for high product mix
environments and contract manufac- turers, the Wizard Frame System is a quick and efficient way of changing
stencils and tensioning them in mo- ments using simple, adaptable com- ponents and readily-available shop air (compressed). The system con- sists of two frame compo- nents plus the stencil foil. The first frame is a patent- ed molded plastic Contain- er Frame that firmly holds the stencil foil for handling, mounting, and space-sav- ing storage. 64 to 80 con- tact points securely hold the foil stencil in place. The Container Frame protects the technician from injuries during handling of the stencil’s razor-sharp edges. When ready to mount for printing, the Container Frame and stencil are mounted in the adjustable QTS Wizard Master Stretch Frame, a durable, lightweight alu- minum frame assembly designed to accept the Plastic Container Frame and stencil and provide user-ad- justable stencil tension in all direc- tions. Compressed air at 50-110 PSI is applied (similar to filling a bicycle tire) by the user, and the stencil in- stantly tensions. Stencil tension can be increased or decreased easily by adjusting the amount of air pressure applied. The Wizard Stencil Stretch Frame System requires less storage space — since stencil foils can be
stored in their compact plastic con- tainer frames — and eliminates the need for epoxy bonding of the stencil foil to a cast frame, waiting for ex-
Quick tensioning frames.
tended epoxy cure times, etc. Ship- ping costs are lower since large cast or welded frames don’t need to be shipped with the stencil foils, and due to its design, greater clearance allows for a larger board image area. Container Frames are available in three sizes and three types of plastic
composition for specific applications. Contact: QTS, Inc., 4 Marc Rd.,
