1. Introduction Beta Maxi A2
Press
The Beta Maxi A2 Press
is a manually operated heat press for transfer
printing and material fusing. It is ideal for medium volume production.
The work area
of the Beta Maxi A2 Press is 42 cm x 61 cm
(16.5 in x
24 in)
, but machines may have, to special order, optional smaller sized
interchangeable worktables of any size and various shapes.
The Beta Maxi A2 Press
is produced in one version, nominally 230
Volts AC for the European market.
The Beta Maxi A2 Press
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
pulling out the handle release knob allowing the handle to be pressed
down to the locking position. The micro switch is made which starts the
timer. When the set time elapses, the buzzer sounds. The handle-
locking knob can then be pulled out to permit the handle to be raised to
the vertical locked position. The heat plate may then be swung to the
unloading position.
