1. Introduction Beta Major
The Beta Major
is a pneumatically operated heat press for transfer
printing and material fusing. It is ideal for high volume production with
low operator fatigue.
The work area of the
Beta Major is 38 x 50 cm
(15 x 20 in)
, but
machines may have to special order, optional smaller sized
interchangeable worktables of any size and various shapes within this
table size.
The Beta Major
has a heat plate which swings away from the operating
position to clear the worktable for loading and unloading. After loading
the work piece, and with the correct settings for temperature, pressure
and dwell time, the heat plate is swung to the operating position with the
handle provided. The cycle is started by simultaneously pressing the
two white buttons on the front of the head, within ½ second. The
controller operates the timer and the solenoid valve and thus the
pneumatic cylinder. When the set time elapses the table is
automatically lowered, enabling the head to be swung to the right. The
worktable may then be unloaded and reloaded ready for another cycle.
The Beta Major
is produced in one version, nominally 230V AC.
It is a simple operation
to remove the worktable and replace it with
one of a different size.
