M&R introduces the Gauntlet III

M&R has added the Gauntlet III to its line of automatic screen printing presses.

Gauntlet III is M&R’s versatile, high-production mid-size automatic screen printing press. It’s available in 10 to 16 colours with a maximum standard image area of 48x55cm (19x22in). The press features printheads driven by fast, reliable electric-drive motors. The printheads have calibrated tool-free click-stop four-corner off-contact settings for fast and accurate screen leveling. Gauntlet III includes tool-free front and rear print-stroke adjustment for versatility and exceptionally high production rates.

Other standard features include M&R’s revolver print program; squeegee pressure regulators, independent squeegee and floodbar speed adjustments, independently-set angle and calibrated squeegee and floodbar pressure adjustments, M&R’s electronically adjustable ink dip ink retrieval system, and M&R’s exclusive squeegee dam system.

Gauntlet III’s large touchscreen control panel can display information and commands in multiple languages. The control panel also features independent print-start/print-finish setting that automatically activates and stops printheads at the beginning and end of screen printing runs, jog-left/jog-right controls, onboard self-diagnostics, a production speed monitor, real-time production data, a test-print setting that turns individual printheads on/off during test-print cycles, and a maintenance minder system that alerts operators when scheduled maintenance is due.
