6.4.

 

‘Load/Un-load’ stations 

The Synchroprint 3000 has a load and unload station for a total of two operators. This is where the 
textiles to be printed on are applied to the pallets and removed from them at the end of the printing 
process. 
 

6.5.

 

‘No shirt’/skip pallet buttons 

These buttons are located on the first and the last print stations, or at the left and right of the main 
control panel. Pressing the ‘No shirt’/skip pallet button indicates an incorrect loading of goods and 
consequently  the  respective  pallet/garment  will  not  be  printed  on.  This  will  not  interrupt  the 
production process. 
 

6.6.

 

Main control panel 

The main control panel includes the following features: 

Machine feature 

Description 

Touch screen 

The touch screen is used to control the main operating features of the 
Synchroprint  3000.  Touching  (tapping)  the  command  buttons 
displayed  on  the  screen  will  operate  various  individual  functions  of 
the machine. You will find a detailed description of all the functions 
in section 

‘7. Control of the machine’.

 

EMERGENCY STOP 
(push button) 

The  EMERGENCY  STOP  push  button  is  part  of  the  safety  facility. 
See section 

‘6.3. Safety Devices’.

 

Main control switch 

The main control switch is used to switch the machine on/off. When 
the  machine  is  switched  off,  a  data  backup  is  automatically  carried 
out. This delays the shut-down by approx. 5 seconds. 

Main power switch 

The  main  power  switch  disconnects  the  machine  from  the  main 
supply  voltage  immediately.  This  switch  should  not  be  used  for  the 
normal  shutdown  of  the  machine,  which  should  be  carried  out  with 
the main control switch. 

Centralised ‘off contact’ 
adjustment 

The  centralized  ‘off  contact’  adjustment  is  used  to  adjust  the  height 
of the screen above the pallets during the printing process for all print 
stations  simultaneously.  This  adjustment  is  infinitely  variable 
between 0-10 mm. 

 

These safety devices must not be used to switch off the machine under normal 
operation.  Any  EMERGENCY  STOP  presents  an  exceptional  loading  to  the 
servo-motor  and  transmission  etc.  Excessive  use  will  result  in  damage  to  the 
machine along with subsequent cancellation of the warranty.
