M&R is pleased to announce the addition of Stryker to M&R’s line of automatic screen printing presses. M&R’s Stryker oval-shaped press begins with a 10-station base module. That base module can be expanded in 6-station increments to create up to 52-station configurations. Other than the end stations, there are no restrictions on printhead placement. Because all other stations can support printheads—and any station can be left open—Stryker’s layout can be tailored to almost any production requirement. Since Stryker’s oval shape takes up less floor space than comparable carousel presses, it makes more efficient use of available production area. It also allows Stryker to fit into spots no carousel press could.
Stryker has a maximum standard image area of 60 x 84 centimeters (24 inches x 33 inches), but can print images as large as 100 x 84 centimeters (39 inches x 33 inches) in alternating print heads, making it ideal for cut-pieces and all-over garments. Its large color touchscreen control panel with icon-based labeling can display information and commands in multiple languages, and it features self-diagnostics and a production speed monitor to ensure more accurate job costing. The control panel sits on a caster-mounted pedestal, giving operators the ability to easily change position. It also has multiple print-stroke capability and an independent print-start/print-finish setting that automatically activates and stops printheads at the beginning and end of production runs. M&R’s Stryker automatic oval screen printing press, with its efficient design, high production speed, and modular expandability, is simply one of the most versatile presses on the market today.
