Anatol Volt vs Javelin Pro

[Anatolhelp]

Even though you think I am against Anatol, I am not, I really like what Anatol offers in products but wish things like questions about products were more clear thats all. I really like that you guys figured out the screen clamping issue.

easy as 123....1.  turn the both chopper cylinders down or up to the desired level....2.  clockwise to lower and counter clockwise to raise to desired pressure. 3. test print to make sure you have the correct pressure for your needs.

Great and this can be done on each head. That clears it up

Cconcepc- you originally said it was between a Jav Pro and a volt. Has it changed to a volt or a Sabre? If that is the case if it were me, Saber without hesitation. What is being accomplished with their UI and what can be upgraded down the line....

Thank you all for the advice.  What is the difference between the squeege pressure adjustments between the presses?  I apologize if it was already posted but could not find in above comments?

Sounds like an adjustment to the print chopper travel limiter, not the pressure. Am I misunderstanding that?

Pressure on the Sabre is regulated by air and the squeegee pressure on the Volt is regulated by depth of the chopper and adjusted visually as needed for your print.

If Saber is in the running that would win hands down.

Also consider even though you need a compressor it's only drawing 6 cm, smaller compressor plus there's a bunch of other stuff the compressor can be used for around the shop.

When you look at the electrical draw, generally speaking more amps bigger bill the Saber wins. Volt 10/8 20x20 38a, Saber 10/8 20x20 16a, add a small compressor around 16a, small dryer 1a gives a grand total 33a all single phase. Now granted the actual will vary based on loads.

Like I Sadi I would talk to some owners of both who have auto experience not first time buyers. 

Another consideration cost of service and repairs, personally I would rather spend $1.50 replacing seals in four chopper cylinders then a few hundred on a motor and linkage.

Bink. Have you had hands on experience on both presses?  Have you spoken to experienced users?  Interesting that you are such an expert to declare a hands down winner.

I'm with Gerry, I'm not sure I could deal with hand cranking down the clamps.  Would you want to go back to hand crank windows in your car?

Gillian.....thank you for bringing up the air clamp issues again.....it's not an issue anymore !   We have developed quick screen clamp system that doesn't require air.....leave it to Anatol to be an innovator in the industry again !

Glad to hear that Anatol addressed this. Good job on their part.

Gerri, I'm assuming it's like my old Horizon, so it should be able to be done on every head independently.

Metalboy, are you a printer? Or a sales rep?

So it's basically just like I set the pressure on our Gauntlet, just enough pressure to clear the screen and just a tad more and lock em down.

I think with the screen lockdowns this Volt may be ok. Still would like it to go a couple years in a shop and see how it holds up before considering it though.

Metalboy sounds like a sales rep.

Very perceptive. Am I not allowed on the board? If that is the case, I will happily exit.

I like most of what Anatol puts out. They really try to put a lot into it. I'm still uncertain of the Volt. Not saying it's bad, it just didn't do anything for me when I saw it. I would take a Horizon XL or Stratus over it. If I remember right they price in the neighborhood of the Volt. BUt I will say the addition of the screen lockdowns leads you to believe they are looking to address the end users needs. Definitely a good sign from the red team.

Metalboy strikes me as a rep as well (I could be wrong), which I have no issue with. But if he is, I think it would be great if he (and all reps) put the company they rep in their signature.

It's your call weather or not you want to be here, not mine (or Gerry's). 

I have been vocal about loving seeing manufacturers, sales reps, suppliers, etc here. I think it is really awesome for both us and them. I also have posted several times asking people to cut Terry some slack.

I do think, as I said in my above post (we posted at the same time) that reps, etc should put who the company they are repping in their signature. I like to know who is supplying opinions or stating facts about equipment (an end user, a manufacturer/rep, or someone who has only seen a picture of the equipment online).

Apologies for not stating in my sig. Didnt fully consider that when I posted with a bit of irritation over a comments that seem that dont seem fair.
