Dedicated to increasing your company's productivity while improving reliability and accuracy of printing, Innovative Machines, Inc. introduces its revolutionary, new product -- the Rotary Indexing Printer, or R.I.P.

Although the screen printing process itself is very fast; loading, registering, and unloading take up most of the time required to screen print. When multiple colors are needed, this "wasted" handling time takes place with each color adding up to an inefficient printing process. In addition, during the process of re-registering much of the color-to-color registration accuracy is frequently lost, resulting in mediocre quality and high scrap rates.

With the R.I.P. multi-color printer, these problems are eliminated!
The product is registered only once. The money saved becomes your added profit. Take a look at the R.I.P. It is definitely not a converted t-shirt printer; but rather, a precision, multi-color screen printer with its roots in the demanding machine tool industry. For instance, the table is moved by the same cam type indexer that has proven itself capable of hundreds of millions of reliable cycles in the automobile manufacturing industry.

The operation of the R.I.P. is simple and fast. the operator loads the part onto a specially-designed fixture on a circular table and pushes a palm button. The machine transfers all of the parts through an ultraviolet curing unit and into position under a print head where they are printed simultaneously. the operator removes the finished parts as they are returned to the load/unload

Features

• The print heads utilize precision linear ball bearings on polished, hardened, and ground shafts rated over 300million cycles.
• Individual X,Y, and angular registration controls with three dial indicators recording in increments of .001 inch.
• Automatic screen locating clamps for instant set-ups. Squeegee pressure is adjustable during printing operation, and is indicated by a pressure gauge on the control panel.
• The flood bar downward stroke is adjustable and operates alternately with the squeegee stroke.
• Print and flood speeds are independently adjustable during operation via precision speed controls on the operator panel.
• The screen carriage raises and lowers six inches pneumatically for set-up and screen cleaning.
• Vertical loft provides superior ink control.
• Adjustable squeegee skew angle.
