I apologize for not replying to these questions and comments yesterday. We had a guest here for the day.
This assembly is designed for use with machines that have a pallet arm of 2.5" wide and 1.5" tall. This covers a vast majority of all of the machines in the field. Machines such as Workhorse, Hopkins ( All generations), and a number of others have standardized there machine arm to this size. For the other types of manual machines, these are not applicable.
The advantages of the slide style bracket:
• The slide style bracket provides strength over the entire length of the pallet.
• The slide style bracket is the lowest profile and enables printing on the smallest sizes of pallets.
• Pallets with this bracket are very storage and stack friendly.
• Shops with this assembly can use the same pallets on their automatic machines and on their manual machines. It standardizes your facility.
• It makes your shop more versatile.
For 6 years we have been sending out pallets for use on manual machines with our Manual Bracket Adapters. They were the best solution, until now. The MBA 1’s are great. However – these stay on the press, are sleeker, stronger, easier to use.
