M&R Announces the Release of the GAUNTLET 4 Automatic Screen Printing Press
The new GAUNTLET 4 represents the latest evolution of M&R’s flagship high-performance carousel automatic press lineup. GAUNTLET 4 combines enhanced COBRA-style print heads with an updated version of the GAUNTLET III/CHALLENGER III’s servo-driven belt drive indexing system for the ultimate in durable, high-speed production, says the company.
GAUNTLET 4’s print heads include single front and rear screen lift/lower cylinders, single-point off-contact adjustment on each screen holder for convenience, plus M&R’s exclusive “zero backlash” micro-registration system. GAUNTLET 4 features new digital membrane switch print head controls with digital speed display, which enable setting squeegee and floodbar speeds from the press’ main HMI. The new larger 15.6” HMI offers higher resolution and an improved tablet-style user interface featuring eye-catching graphics and icons for exceptional legibility.
GAUNTLET 4’s optimized lower carousel and pallet arm designs ensure maximum rigidity for unsurpassed print quality, and all GAUNTLET 4 models are equipped with M&R’s Tri-Sync pallet arm and Tri-Sync pallet for the fastest possible setup times, the company states. The Tri-Sync system also simplifies the addition of the M&R DS-4000 Digital Squeegee Hybrid Printing System. GAUNTLET 4 also includes M&R’s exclusive Ink Dip and Squeegee Dam features for productivity and versatility.
