Pretty nice operation there Paul!

Good video.

That's a nice operation, especially for central america.

I'd adjust the printheads a little to allow more squeegee load before it goes into the print stroke though.  It's almost an inch or more into the print stroke before the squeegee makes good contact with the mesh.  I have ours set to 300 milliseconds.  Kind of long by some standards, but I never have issues clearing a stencil that is near the front edge of the pallet.  That has as much to do with very little pallet deflection as well, but squeegee load has something to do with it.

Reminds me of my cut and sew days. I assume this is a vertical operation? Also looks like they might be doing a dry glitter app......hence the masks and the snapping of the cut pieces. That monster dryer is handling three print lines....pretty rare.
I've run the Vinnies before......they are super sturdy and fast. Great machines. I know with some tweaks they can go faster (the lift can be shortened for example) but I know that in Latin America they go for moderately fast steadyproduction rates with few interruptions.
Nice work

How's business ??

[Donnie]

Welcome Mr. Pual.

Hey Bob, were doing good thanks. How's by you?

Thanks Donnie... This is just like old times.

You might be surprised at the money being spent down there. A lot of shops are state of the art.

Hey pepman, That dryer is a 2 burner heat chamber with a 72' belt. This place is almost as large as your shop.

Scared to think what a dyer that big would cost lol. 

Sucker is impressive!

[Clark]

Awesome!  They are printing Steelers shirts.  I guess no one told them about the lockout.

The Vindicator is the all-servo press right?  That thing indexes/lifts so damn smooth in the video.  Impressive. 

I was kinda blown away by that dryer.  My co-worker and I were watching the vid on lunch break and I was wondering why they didn't have a split belt on there but realized that with a chamber like that it probably just cures anything that passes through it.  Wouldn't that be nice?

Yeah... It is all servo. Even the lift and lower. With the servo lift you can adjust the off contact on the second hit if you're double stroking.
