Unrivaled solid construction, ease of operation and immediate return on investment have made the SPS® Vitessa screen printing machines the top-selling STOP cylinder presses in the world.
Based on the Original SPS® STOP Cylinder Principle™, the SPS Vitessa XP combines this sound tradition with advanced operator comfort and the highest running speeds.
Unrivaled solid construction, ease of operation and immediate return on investment have made the SPS® VITESSA screen printing machines the top-selling STOP cylinder presses in the world. The SPS® VITESSA XP combines this sound tradition with advanced operator comfort and the highest STOP cylinder running speed seen in the screen printing industry.
The SPS® synchroline system with automatic belt speed synchronization between the print line components guarantees sheet transition from pile to pile without flutter and friction.
The defining operating characteristics of the SPS® VITESSA XP: At the touch of a button, the squeegee bridge swings up from print level into the raised set-up position, and the screen carrier can be tilted. In addition, the exit segment of the delivery belt may now be lowered. In this state, unrestricted access to the screen underside and the sheet guide system is opened. Returning from there to production in a matter of just seconds.
