SAKURAI MAESTRO MF-80VII Textile Smart®

Fully automatic screen printing machine with sheet feeder

Flatbed machine with 4-post system, especially designed for printing of textile transfers.

Standard features:

• more stable sheet position alignment by a combination of feeding belt running speed control and vacuum type
• sheet alignment table
• sensor + vacuum type alignment table side register, detecting edge of substrate by 0.001 mm resolution sensor
• one side operation system (printing plate position, squeegee and flood-coater pressure adjustments)
• precise gripper system – tail side gripper device, also suitable for thicker substrates
• as printing unit and feeder are driven independently, it is easy to add other equipment such as a cleaning unit
• squeegee and flood-coater are quickly and easily attached
• umerical indicators for several adjustment area
• vertical, synchronized frame lift-up with high precision by 4-post system
• creen frame move back to horizontal position
• precise printing head with lift-up
• bigger size touch panel for easy operation and setting of the numerical controlled components
• wider delivery belt for stable substrate delivery to a dryer, a separate cross-over stand for drying is not required
• front pick-up feeder (independent operation)
• 600 mm wide step (operation side)
• including ea. 1 set of squeegee and flood coater

Special features of the Maestro MF-80VII Textile Smart®:

• LPA – Laser Pointing Assistant

The automatic positioning system to drastically reduce the times for adjusting the frame and its positioning provides a 50% increase in efficiency. The frame can be easily fixed in a unique position on the frame holder. Alignment to the feed points is then performed by laser. Together with the OSA™ sheet detection system, this cuts makeready time in half compared to conventional presses.

• OSA™ - innovative, optical sheet detection system

An optical sensor reads the registration mark and transfers the data automatically. This ensures perfect alignment between the sheet and the transfer carrier.
An OSA alignment mark is printed with the first color, starting from the sheet edge. This mark can also be adopted for digital or offset printing if the material is part of a combined printing process. The alignment mark is recognized by the OSA and the material is precisely positioned on the vacuum table. Compared to conventional register systems, the OSA can quickly and easily ensure high register accuracy. Especially for the combined process of textile transfer printing, the MF80VII Textile Smart® with the OSATM system is the ideal solution.

• Durable, heavy-duty machine design

Sturdy, heavy-duty cast iron design, specifically engineered for large printing systems that must produce reliable and precise printing results in high-performance mode. Each machine part has been designed with microscopic accuracy using a Zeiss 3D measuring machine, ensuring the exceptional quality of the overall system.

Including optional equipment as follows:

• dripless squeegee
• Keyence ionized bar (4 pc.)
• ionized air blower for feeder pile (side)
• ionized air blower BLT02
• mechanical double sheet detector
• substrate delivery with vacuum system for high speed production
