Besides price what makes the Anatol led unit a superior product?

BTW, I emailed Anatol for information about this product over a week ago and its warranty and never got a response.



Please let me know who and where you sent the email.  I will not have my sales staff not following up on information request.   I am sorry this happened.   We have a 2 year Parts and labor warranty on the LED unit.  And as promised on this forum we will replace the LED bulbs for the life of the unit.

It went to this email:
davids@anatol.com

 thats just parts replacement, correct? Shipping not included?
Is a tech visit necessary to replace bulbs?


Thanks for the heads up on where the email went.  Parts and LABOR are included in the two year warranty.  Our equipment is built to work on yourself in your shop.  Unlike other manufactures Anatol includes 2 years parts and labor on most of the equipment we sell.  Unlike other manufactures who only offer a warranty on parts, and will void your warranty if you work on your equipment.       It all depends on your mechanical ability, but for a LED Bulb I recommend that you use a Anatol Tech.   Please remember that the life of the LED bulbs is 50k hours. So the chance that a LED Bulb failing is very small.   Unfortunately shipping isn't included.
Who are those other manufacturers that void your warranty if you work on your own equipment?

5.   Repairs by non-M&R technicians—or by technicians not currently certified and authorized by M&R—will void all or part of this Warranty should M&R subsequently identify damage caused by improper repair procedures and/or by non-M&R-certified parts.
6.   Replacement electrical or electronic parts provided by M&R under terms of this Warranty must be installed by an M&R technician—or a technician currently certified and authorized by M&R—to be covered for the remainder of this Warranty.
Nice try but not as read. If an M&R tech tells someone to do something that does not void any warranty. You are authorized if we tell you to do it. Hire an independent that doesn't know what they are doing like you have to with companies that "don't have techs"  and yes that would not be covered Luckily we have way over 50 M&R employee's that are field tech,s as well as at least 5 that man the phones daily.

probably for more lumens and a more even light spread.  more lumens means a faster exposure.

More uniform light and faster cures. Not going any further with information our competition may use. Ask any user how good it is and you will know quickly!

Any updates regarding exposure times for different emulsions with this Anatol unit?
Have to make a decision soon what LED exposure unit to get.
Top of the list would be the Starlight but I`m afraid we are out a few bucks for this one especially with shipping over the big ocean.
So it looks like Vastex and Anatol will have to slug it out.

I doubt you could go wrong with either unit. The difference in exposure times most likely comes down to seconds.

I'd be interested to here some results for Aquasol HV-P would be cool as well as any other comparable emulsions.

Anyone ever bought one of these things?

They called me and mentioned some updates to it and I looked at the brochure... Looks nice.

They said it had more LEDs than the starlight.

I have one. I think I got one of the last ones before they updated it with a touchscreen, air filter and cooling (I don't see any cooling or dust buildup problems under the glass anyway).

Ulano QX-5 Blue coated 1/1 round edge on 195mesh is 30 seconds. Using stoufer gauge with a full 7 reading.

Every now and then it takes longer to achieve the pre-exposure vacuum. I'm using shurloc frames so I'm not sure if it's that or not. They said to adjust the hinges but I still get it sometimes. I can do 30 without an issue then 3 in a row I'll need to reposition on the glass or relatch it.

The auto-vacuum sensing is pretty nice outside of that. Overall happy with it.

I finished reading the whole post, that was funny.

I will get an Aurora 3346 in a few days, so I hope that I made a good choice !

Ok, I cancelled my order, and just sign today for the M&R...

I found communication not that easy (I am in Europe/France) and they quote me an insane shipping price, enough to send from Poland to USA by air...
I did't had clear answers about LED failure (if it happens in the future), and what would happens to replace them...

That is disgusting.
