One of the latest innovations offered by Hotronix® is the touch screen control panel on the Air Fusion semi-automatic heat press. This advanced technology allows the operator to preprogram time, temperature, and pressure settings for various decorating methods and save them by name. General manager Ben Robinson likes to call this capability “recipe-based cooking.” Choose your job name, push the button and the machine is ready to print.
It shortens the learning curve for newcomers, and eliminates guesswork with heat applications.
Time is saved because the panel eliminates manually pushing multiple buttons as jobs range from plastisol transfers to digital direct-to-garment prints to vinyl cut graphics. Upgrades to the control panel provided by the manufacturer can be easily uploaded via a USB port.
The touch screen’s auto on/off function turns the press on at the start of the day and off at the end. No more safety issues that can arise from forgetting to turn off the heat press.
The control panel “speaks” eight languages, which is convenient not only if a shop is in a non-English speaking country, but also if there are non-English speaking employees. Languages are denoted by easy-to-recognize country flags.
Another unique feature of the control board is it has a password interface. Up to three passwords can be created to control what the user can see. There may be one password for an operator, a second password for a manager, and a third password for a maintenance person. These allow the owner to control who can see what and limit unauthorized personnel from changing settings on the machine.
