COBRA E Automatic Screen Printing Press

Product Description

M&R’s COBRA E™ automatic screen printing presses set the standard in combining quality components, durable craftsmanship and high speed production all in one machine.

The COBRA E series of presses provide operators with time-saving features needed for quick setups—electric printheads, tool-free squeegee/floodbar angle adjustments with air locks, pneumatic frame locks, and independent squeegee/flood speeds with digital displays. Membrane-switch controls enable setting of squeegee/floodbar speed settings for all printheads quickly and easily from the main HMI, including a copy/paste function to save time in setup. COBRA E presses are Tri-LOC® and Tri-Sync™ compatible—like all M&R presses—which further minimizes setup times, and maximizes run times and productivity.

Multiple configurations and maximum image areas mean that there is sure to be a COBRA E that meets your needs. You can rest assured that whichever you choose, M&R has you covered with best-in-class design, service and support.
