Anatol Volt vs Javelin Pro

[GraphicDisorder]

Just for clarification....metalboy is not a Rep of Anatol or is affiliate with the company.....I don't or we don't play those games.....you should know me well enough by now to know that.

My humble apologies! Without my knowledge or approval Metalboy came on here and made comments.   I am sorry I claimed he wasn't a employee of the company.  Sorry for the mistake and sorry he didn't identify himself as an employee.

Ducks...line em up in a row already Jesus.

Feel I should comment. As I already posted, I interjected without  thinking about disclosure. As soon as someone asked if I was a rep....I said yes...and apologized for jumping in. What else can I do to make amends? There is no coverup here with Anatol or Terry.  Just my error in judgement.

[Gilligan]

You have technically never said WHO you are a rep for.

It's been implied that it's Anatol... but I honestly don't like leaving things "understood", I rather black and white when it can be.

[metalboy]

Ah...ok.  Let me clarify. I am a sales manager for Anatol direct.  I work for Terry. There was no intent to be deceptive. I posted last night and Terry had no idea.  I had no idea such a firestorm would erupt. But I'll admit that the suggestion that I know nothing about our equipment was taken too personally.

[Gilligan]

I just feel like it's more honest.

You come out and say "I work for brand X and I disagree with this statement because...."  At least we know where you are coming from.  It doesn't immediately make your point less valid but it does shed light on the direction you are coming from.

How does the Volts choppers operate? What makes them chop?

[metalboy]

Prosp.  Well..the Volt Is all electric..so..the choppers are AC....in a very simple answer. Are you looking for more specifics?

[Prosperi-Tees]

I never seen one operate and im just going off of what I have heard. And that there is a bunch of linkage and gears to make it work like the Brown press where the choppers are mechanically driven by chains, gears, linkage etc. Just trying to figure out how this thing operates. Videos would be really helpful without all the music that most people put into them.

[Binkspot]

It's a motor whith what appears to be a gear box mounted at the back of each head which is connected to a long shaft that when rotated moves the choppers up and down. If you look at the brochure you can see the mechanics.

Little ones use the carrocel rasing to move the linkage and work the choppers.

Choppers are adjusted the same as other presses using the knobs as stops.

We do need a like button on here.

Shanarchy, you should be able to get free shipping on orders over a certain amount and within two business days in the NE.

Do you know Ross from RS Imprints ?  has been at our facility for an up close.  Maybe he can give more information

[metalboy]

We can get some video out with closeups.  Honestly, you can't compare the Volt to other electric presses on the market

My personal opinion is that this forum would be better if all members / posters were compelled to provide a complete profile.  With that said, I understand that many printers are reluctant to identify themselves because of their concern with being spammed by suppliers chasing them for business.  Maybe the solution is to have different requirements and expectations for industry suppliers, versus printer members.

I would think that except for the rarely occasional shill, most suppliers, manufacturers, and other industry reps would be happy and proud to boast of  their affiliations.
