COBRA TSE Automatic Screen Printing Press

Product Description

The COBRA TSE™ series of presses provides operators with time-saving features needed for quick setups—electric printheads with electronic controls, tool-free squeegee/floodbar angle adjustment with pneumatic clamps, pneumatic screen 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 TSE also features a revised, robust, smooth and quiet flat indexing system.

COBRA TSE is hybrid-printing ready, featuring M&R’s Tri-Sync™ pallet arm and Tri-Sync™ pallet as standard equipment. These features further minimize setup times and maximize run times and productivity.

M&R’s COBRA TSE automatic screen printing presses bring all of the features that the COBRA E line offers in a larger format.
