- CE certified – PLC control and electronic protections at each station
- Easy loading: lower platforms slide out for convenient mounting/dismounting
Advantages of Automatic Systems:
- Multiple stations allow simultaneous loading and pressing – high productivity
- PLC and digital control 24/7 – fully automated opening/closing, settings, reporting, and protection
- Flexible modes – customized timing cycles and rotation for optimal workflow
- Integrated safety – safety sensors, electronic diagnostics, and CE compliance
Suitable for:
- Medium and large production facilities
- Companies with high daily volume producing hundreds or thousands of items per day
- Factories with assembly lines or need for parallel operation of multiple stations (e.g., CA 1000 model)
- Textile personalization businesses
- Manufacturers of T-shirts, workwear, sports uniforms, children’s and promotional textiles
- Presses like CA 1000 and other models in this series are ideal for transfer, DTF, and sublimation printing on cotton, polyester, and blends
Label and Decoration Brands:
- TMA 11 / 24 / 25 series presses are excellent for automatic positioning and printing of labels, patches, caps, flock/flex materials
DTF / Sublimation Studios:
- When consistent pressure and temperature accuracy are required, electric and pneumatic models guarantee high quality without operator fatigue
Companies Seeking Automation:
- Businesses aiming to reduce manual labor, increase efficiency, and optimize production costs
Benefits for These Customers:
- Automatic opening/closing – less effort and higher speed
- Precise control – digital panels, program storage, consistent results
- More stations – continuous operation (loading, printing, unloading in parallel)
- Lower risk of errors and material damage
