STRYKER Automatic Oval Screen Printing Press

Product Description

M&R’s Stryker sets the standard for oval format screen printing presses. Its oval design takes up less floor space than comparable carousel automatic screen printing presses, making more efficient use of the available production area. Available in three print format sizes and expandable from 10 to 52 stations with selectable printhead locations, the Stryker can be tailored to almost any production requirement, floor layout or shop size.

A high-quality, smooth-operating servo-drive indexer provides fast, accurate single or double indexing, making Stryker ideal for cut-piece and all-over print garments. The 80x110 model can print up to 132 x 110 cm (52" x 43.5") in alternating printheads! The AC-driven printheads deliver exceptional speed and control while tool-free squeegee/floodbar angle adjustments, calibrated four-point off-contact and quick stroke length changes allow operators to optimize setup efficiency and maximize productivity. Innovative standard features like M&R’s exclusive Squeegee Dam™ and Ink Dip™ systems are designed to keep thinner water-based and discharge inks correctly distributed in the screens for optimum printing and ink longevity. Combined with the optional fogger system, Stryker is the ultimate press for today’s printing needs and inks—further strengthening its reputation as the go-to press for many of the top printers around the world.

Stryker’s 10-station base module can be expanded in 6-station increments to create 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, 46, and 52-station configurations. Other than the two pallets at each end of the press, there are no restrictions on printhead placement, so Stryker’s layout can be tailored to almost any production requirement.

• Stryker 6080 supports a standard image area of 60 x 84 cm (24" x 33") and 100 x 84 cm (39" x 33") in alternating printheads.
• The 70100 model supports a standard image area of 70 x 100 cm (27.5" x 39.4") and 122 x 100 cm (48" x 39.4") in alternating printheads.
• The 80110 model handles an 80 x 110 cm (31.5" x 43.5") standard image area and a 132 x 110 cm (52" x 43.5") maximum image in alternating printheads.

The increased image area afforded by alternating printheads makes Stryker ideal for cut-pieces and All-Over-Print (AOP) garments. By incorporating M&R’s optional AOP pallets and pneumatic sleeve support, the Stryker is unsurpassed for AOP printing speed and image quality.

The adjustable machine-mounted control panel incorporates a pallet temperature sensor that is integrated with M&R’s automatic pallet preheat mode. This allows operators to “dry cycle” the press with only the flashes on until the preset temperature is reached—then it gives the operator an audible alert that the set temperature has been reached. Also included is M&R’s Laser Locator System that speeds pallet positioning and changeover and assists operators in the precise positioning of garments and cut-piece goods.

Stryker’s large color touchscreen control panel with icon-based labeling can display information and commands in multiple languages, and it features self-diagnostics and a production speed monitor to ensure more accurate job costing. Stryker has multiple print-stroke capability and an independent print-start/print-finish setting that automatically activates and stops printheads at the beginning and end of production runs and also enables single pallet test printing.

Independent print and reset buttons and independent print/flood speed controls with a digital display on each printhead make setup and operation fast and easy. Squeegee air regulators with pressure gauges on each printhead offer consistent control of print pressure, and high-lift mode simplifies screen loading and unloading, while underhead LEDs aid in inspection and cleaning.

Stryker is loaded with innovative standard features like the Maintenance Minder™ system that alerts operators when scheduled maintenance is due. User-friendly features include the “Park” mode that speeds setup and teardown times by simultaneously retracting the squeegee and floodbar, and then moving them to the outside edge of the press for easy access.
