Application
The servo-based RS 9480 TP is designed for multi-colour decoration with thermoplastic enamels of glass hollowware at high production speeds. Servo drives for screens and fixtures reduce changeover times. Reliability and speed make the RS 9480 TP ideal for 24/7 production.

Features
Print heads with squeegees and screens, squeegees, screens and fixtures are all driven by individual servomotors. The selection of an item diameter at the touch screen presets screen speed and fixture rotation during printing.
A glass bottle can be oriented in an orientation station. If a bottle has to be turned from its angular position in the orientation station for a correct positioning of an image the necessary angular advance or retard of the bottle is set at the touch screen.
