E1000 Screen Printing Exposure Unit
An entry level professional UV exposure unit
Looking for a UV exposure unit? The Vastex E1000 table top, vacuum bed screen printing exposure unit is a highly cost effective way to expose screens in a truly professional way.
The lid of the E1000 UV exposure unit is raised and lowered by two gas struts and incorporates a rubber blanket and vacuum hold down function to provide perfect contact between artwork and screen for high quality screen exposures. Electronic ballasts ensure a quick and reliable tube start and a steady UV output. A precision timer controls both tubes and vacuum. Optically clear glass is used which helps to ensure a reliable and controlled exposure.
With this level of precision even the finest detail in more demanding designs are reproduced accurately, so don't turn away more complex screen printing jobs, the Vastex E1000 screen printing exposure unit will not let you down.
To further enhance your artroom, you may want to consider the optional VRS pin registration system which can be integrated with the E1000 UV exposure unit. The seamless integration allows faster setup times at the press, since all colours are registered using the VRS system prior to burning the screen in the uv exposure unit. The registration system is compatible with any manual screen printing carousel.
A flexible UV exposure unit that is easy to use
Space is generally at a premium in most business environments, so the Vastex E1000 screen printing exposure unit can be purchased with one of our optional utility carts to provide handy storage for both screens and other consumables. The utility cart can be supplied as shown above to use for storing general items, uncoated screens or burned screens. Another option if you need storage for coated screens is to order the utility cart with a light tight door. Combining the E1000 screen printing exposure unit with such a handy storage device maximises space utilisation and also means that your screens are exactly where you need them, when you need them.
Alternatively, the E1000 UV exposure unit can be fitted to the optional Dri-Vault screen drying cabinet. This allows screens to be coated, dried and stored below the Vastex E1000 screen printing exposure unit. Simply open the screen drying cabinet to take out a dry, coated screen, and place it on the E1000 UV exposure unit - nothing could be more convenient!
If your screen size is larger than the E1000 can handle, you need to consider the Expos-It silk screen exposure unit.
