Well today was the big day! Started putting the 10clr press together and did some CTS training! Super excited to get these units in the process!

Thanks guys! Yep I'm super excited!!!

It has been a ton of work over the past couple of weeks getting the shop ready to put these in, whole new arrangement and equipment setups, we also painted the whole shop floor as we moved stuff around. But we are implementing new processes and procedures along with the new equipment so we should see a whole lot better process soon!

I "printed" and burned 4 screens this afternoon and it was SUPER EASY, I thought it was going to be hard to learn but it's actually quite simple!

Happy printing.

Thanks guys! We are super excited! We are hoping with these additions and our old 6clr auto we should be able to step up our game 10fold!



How do you like the Lawson CTS so far?

Well yesterday was just "training" so we haven't used it in production yet but I have seeen it in action up at Danny's shop and I like it but then again I have nothing to compare it to. I ha some troubles with it this morning but it's because I forgot a step, but after a crash course that's to be expected. I've got a few jobs that I need to print out today so we'll see how that goes, we won't know the full use of the system until the Tri-Loc shows up (hopefully today).

Enjoy these weeks, they don't come around often enough.  Nothing better than getting new equipment on the floor.

I agree Alan, in a month or so it'll just be equipment.  ;)

Here's a short video of the CTS running...

They say they are using the same inner workings as M&R... Actually said they had it first.
