Machine category introduction

Now after these years of development, Auto Print Tech has this type of machine range from semi automatic to fully automatic. Print size cover from small to large format size printing.

Semi automatic machines now have pneumatic-driven and electric-driven types. The pneumatic drove machine is usually for small-size printing like 200x300mm, 200x400mm, 300x400mm, and 300x500mm. This type of machine uses a well-known brand cylinder for the left/right stroke, and a slide guide for the up/down stroke to keep stable and fast printing. The electric-driven machine now we have regular print sizes like 300x400mm, 300x500mm, 400x600mm, 500x700mm, and 600x900mm. This kind of machine with dual axis (up/down, left/right stroke). And it is driven by an AC motor with a programmable PLC, and a touch screen controlled all the movements. This electric flat screen printing has a high precision printing tolerance. It has stable and continuous working conditions.

We also have other semi automatic models like rotary index worktables, and front/back slide worktables. This kind of machine will be most suited for small size flat part fast printing, can be easy to load and unload, and increase the printing capacity.

Fully automatic machines will be usually custom-made or designed for a certain project. The automatic machine can be one color to multi colors. This type of machine usually has full screen printing processes. Like auto loading, ionizing dust cleaning, flame treatment, screen printing, UV curing, and auto unloading. Multi-color printing can come out a complete printing part at once. It has high printing speed with accurate color registration. This type of machine will increase the production capacity and save labor costs more than semi automatic machines.
