The Lumitron
is a high end exposure system in a small package. This unit has high output UV fluorescent bulbs that offer balanced
light distribution throughout. Using the same powerful vacuum as our larger units, the Lumitron gives you perfect contact between
your film positive and screen.
The Luminator
is an expandable exposure unit specially designed for the startup shop on a budget. This unit has high output UV
fluorescent bulbs that offer balanced light distribution throughout. This system is compatible with direct emulsion or capillary films
that allow versatility in your stencil systems. It comes standard with a 16 x 20" pressure pad to ensure even contact between your
film positive and your screen.
Introduction:
Standard Operating Guide:
Plug in the unit, make sure it is plugged into a 3-wire grounded circuit (115 or 220 volt) depending on which machine you have. If
you are unsure of the power requirements please call
Workhorse Products 1-800-778-8779
DO NOT ALTER OR MODIFY THE PLUG IN ANY WAY!
Turn on main power rocker switch until it lights up. Release the single latch and open the vacuum frame and place the coated, dry
screen, print side down in the center of the glass with the film or vellum underneath, either taped to the glass or taped to the print
side of the screen. (For optimum performance, place your screens in the center of the unit above the light source
)
Place one end of
the rope next to the vacuum nipple located toward the rear and in the center of the vacuum frame, drape the other end of the
rope across the inside (squeegee side) of the frame. This will allow all of the air to be evacuated out of the inside of the screen and
provide necessary contact between your film or vellum and the emulsion. (Do not place the rope directly under the vacuum nipple
as this will reduce the vacuum speed and could negatively affect your blanket to screen contact)
Close the vacuum frame and lock it into position with the single latch, then turn on the unit , the vacuum will automatically come
on. Wait until the blanket has drawn down around the screen completely before you start your exposure. The vacuum motor will
change sound slightly as it goes into idle mode. Once the exposure timer has beeped indicating its finish, turn off the vacuum
rocker switch and release the latches. Open the vacuum frame and remove your screen.
NOTE:
Open the frame slowly as screens can get stuck to the vacuum blanket due to tape, ink residue or wet emulsion( Keep your
screens as clean as possible and inspect your frames periodically for sharp edges and splinters. This will aid in keeping your vacuum
blanket and glass clean, and prevent wear on the vacuum blanket)
