New: Hybrid screen clamps



Many screen printers, especially those taking the leap into their first automatic, worked with manual screen clamps and do not necessarily consider it a draw back.  The fact of the matter is that in regards to setup time, pneumatic screen clamps are vastly superior and will save you more time and money then you might imagine.




Anatol Equipment strives to become better everyday and that includes improving the design of our equipment when possible. When we first released the Volt onto the market, the only criticism that we heard was from automatic owners who already experienced the pneumatic screen locks and considered manual locks a downgrade... As you can imagine, that did not sit well with the engineers here at Anatol.

For a machine that features highly advanced components such as servo-index, AC stroke and  servo-lift, central-digital off-contact, digitally controlled stroke/flood speed, as well as Ares OS the industry's most advanced operating system, there simply had to be a better way! 
 
But how?

Other all-electric machines have been on the market for years and their manual screen lock design has not changed and there you have the intrinsic problem with an all-electric machine such as the Volt.
In order to maintain it's "all-electric" status and appeal, simply adding a small air compressor and chiller for pneumatic screen would not suffice and completely go against the fundamental purpose of why the machine was built.  Well, it took a good of time to conceptualize, build and test our solution to the manual screen lock issue but we are happy to announce that future is indeed here!

 

Now you can enjoy all the added benefits that the Volt presents without having to sacrifice speed during setup. One quick flip of your wrist will engage our spring loaded mechanical screen locks in the same amount of time it takes you to flip a pneumatic toggle switch!  Another benefit is that the larger surface area of the clamp will provide a more secure hold and minimize the possibility of having your screen kick out.  Read more at www.anatol.com
