Save money and regain control of screen tension with the Accu-Stretch, a modular screen stretching system manufactured by Workhorse Products. With printers stretching their own screens, there’s no need to inventory pre-stretched ones nor guess at what mesh counts will be needed in the future, so they can be ordered in advance. 

Accu-Stretch allows printers to stretch screens as needed and to ensure that the tension is where desired. It also allows for producing screens that will print at higher, more uniform tensions increasing production speed and quality.  

This patented unit is made with self-equalizing stretch clamps that bring mesh to the desired tension time after time. Because fabric can be applied directly from the bolt, less fabric is wasted. The modular design allows for adjusting the Accu-Stretch to match any screen size, and it works with any type of stretch-and-glue frame. 

The locking bars are coated with PVC to protect the mesh, and the brace bar prebows the frame for maximum, even tension. It also has infinite and independent warp and weft tension control to facilitate uniform tension. 

The Accu-Stretch comes in nine sizes from 24 inches by 36 inches to 60 inches by 60 inches. Modular upgrades come in five sizes from 12” to 60”.
