Squeegee/
Floodbar
Pressure
Adjustments
Adjust the floodbar pressure using the knobs at
the top of the print carriage assembly. The
floodbar pressure should be adjusted so that there
is only a slight pressure felt on the bottom of the
screen mesh. Turn the knobs (3)
counterclockwise to
increase
the floodbar
pressure. Turn the knobs clockwise to
decrease
the pressure.
A properly adjusted squeegee should exhibit a
slight bend, producing a light resistance as you
manually push the print carriage towards the rear
of the screen. You can note the pressure reading
on the reference scale (1) on the air cylinder. Turn
the knobs (2) counterclockwise to
increase
the
pressure. Turn the knobs clockwise to
decrease
the pressure.
Squeegee
Pressure
Equalizer
The squeegee pressure equalizer adjustment
uses pneumatic energy to maintain equal
pressure across the length of the squeegee. To
use, first raise the squeegee pressure adjustment
knobs (1) to maximum pressure on both the right
and left sides of the print carriage by turning the
knobs counterclockwise.
To adjust the Squeegee Pressure Equalizer, pull
out the adjustment knob to unlock the adjustment.
Now turn the adjustment knob clockwise or to the
right to increase the pressure, or counterclockwise
or to the left to decrease the pressure. A setting of
35-40 psi is sufficient for most printing
requirements.
