New printheads speed set up V
astex commercial-grade V-1000 manual screen printing presses are now equipped as standard with a print head that allows easier and more accurate screen pitch adjustment. “The new adjustment system better isolates front-to-rear movement of the print head with no effect on other adjustments, and moves the adjustment point from the central colour hub to the print head itself for operator convenience,” explains Mark Vasilantone, president.
Other print head adjustments move screens left/right, forward/back and up/ down, and tilt left-to-right, enabling the operator to control all positional aspects of the screen with precision repeatability. The modular print head can also replace existing V-1000 print heads and/or be added to existing V-1000 presses, which can accommodate up to eight print heads and eight stations.
V-1000 presses in one-, four- and eight- colours accommodate screens up to 58 cm wide, while six-colour models handle screens up to 53 cm wide.
